How is it that my 980 Ti can only manage around 50FPS on ECA maxed out with no dynamic reflections and 50-65 on JRI?
I made a thread about lower than expected performance, you can add to it if you think your performance is sub par for your hardware. http://www.beamng.com/threads/low-fps-stuttering-issue.22537/
oh, well i run at 45 FPS on Dynamic reflections to max, but I turn that off because it makes some silver and white cars look ugly :/

I think they will be sticking with T3D. And basically rebuilding it to suit their needs, which IMO a bit much. But they're the ones getting paid for it.
so you're saying that my $1,100 gaming laptop is crap... Good to know... I'd like to see if your PC or Laptop can run this game at 60FPS on max settings with dynamic reflections off. My laptop has 16 gigs of DDR4 Ram, 2.6Ghz I7 with a Nvidia Geforce GTX 960m that has triple the amount of scores that a normal 960m would have. Here is the benchmark that I used: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html. It scored about 1,700 on their website, while mine scored over 3,800 with their tests.
For those who are crying that the graphics look like from a game from 2005 watch this video (dont need to) It shows a PostFX setting I do quite like which gives the game a bit of nice look and feel BTW the settings are maxed out just in case someone wants to know
This game looks beautiful for what and where it is. I do wonder about the level of optimization with DX11 it has received so far though. Room for improvement?
im not saying its bad, but it would be nice if their was an OPTION to make the graphics better, it wont affect the performance if you stick with normal or high settings, it will only affect it if you put the OPTION on where it makes the graphics better :/ --- Post updated ---
What CPU do you have? BeamNG is CPU dependent much more so than GPU, that is why the quoted person below gets 60fps with a laptop, his CPU is an i7, even a mobile i7 is quite powerful, about 2-3 times more powerful than my 8-core AMD FX 8350 Desktop CPU The post above explains why your laptop is running BeamNG quite smoothly. Going forward it would be good to know that BeamNG runs its calculations on the CPU and it runs a car per core, the calculations become more complex during a collision. At 5 cars you'll notice a huge performance drop. The graphics on Tourqe 3D are so dated that a GTX 480 can handle ultra settings when isolating for graphics.
It's in my sig. It's an i5 4690, at 3.9GHz. It's definitely not the bottleneck here. And I have to disagree with the text in bold. Torque3D may have been around for the GTX 480, but it's very inefficient it seems and you'll definitely lose frames at High mesh settings around the town in ECUSA or the industrial area on Port because of all the static objects. It's just that most maps for BeamNG are rather simplistic and the CPU load is generally the more pressing matter, but the graphics engine is not as you say it is - at higher settings, you can bottleneck a GTX 980 ti at resolutions at and above 1080p. Go ahead and try going highest settings in the town in ECUSA, or increasing your resolution on any vegetated maps. Pause physics, and you'll see that your graphics card is holding you back.
Torque 3D Graphics API is horridly optimized, it can cripple 3x GTX 980 Ti's, running bad at high settings should not be the barometer for good graphics, good looking graphics should be the barometer for good graphics. Indeed Cryengine looks better and runs smoother at identical max settings, what your seeing in Torque 3D at high settings is bad optimization. There are dozens of games that look ok and run bad at high settings, and there are dozens of games that look amazing and run smooth at high settings Torque 3D is not one of those games.
What resolution do you play at? I've played it at 1080p and now I play at 1440p and they perform pretty similarly, do you play at a lower one?
i play at 1080p, but im gonna upgrade to a better laptop with 32 Gigs of RAM, Quad Core I7 2.60Ghz(3.20GHZ turbo boost), Gtx 980m and a 4k screen
Just curious here, but why not build a killer desktop for the price of the laptop? Some of those things, like the 32 GB of ram are overkill, while the mobile processor and video card are under kill for the price you'll be paying. Looking around, you'll be paying at least 2,500 USD so I went and built a much better desktop system for less. Also includes a 4k 28 inch monitor. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/8dqVrH
