BeamNG cpu vs GPU

What does BeamNG rely on more? GPU or CPU?

 

cpu prob

 

I don't really think you can truly measure which one it relies on more properly. Sure, it can be more CPU heavy than other games, but it also does have the ability to be more GPU heavy as well, especially with a large number of vehicles spawned. Games rely on both to run properly, and they perform different functions. if they had the same function, the more relied upon one could be gauged, however they don't the same function, so we can't gauge it.

 

Your GPU for reference?

 

Most certainly it is mostly the CPU, due to all the physics calculations in the game.

 

It surely seems to use more CPU, since the performance graph appears to tell me that with 17 cars on the Italy map I have a CPU bottleneck with my Ryzen 9 5900X running @ 4.4 GHz despite having an nvidia GTX 1650 4GB?

That is without dynamic reflections @ 1080p. Ofcourse I might be reading it wrong, and the graph says GPU bottleneck when I look away from level geometry and CPU bottleneck when looking at more graphically demanding directions = single CPU thread limit?

And yes I know I'm running mods and that particular session had been going for about 3 hours before recording this particular video, but that is the usecase for me.

I only started thinking about this because I might be able to buy a GTX 3060 12GB in a few months and now I am wondering if it is even going to be worth it (I'm only half joking about the last part)

 

GPU by alot.
my cpu tends to run at 30% while GPU at 100%

 

I have an okay cpu (amd r5 3600) but a worse gpu (rx550 4gb). I can spawn more cars than a 4 core cpu but I can't run the game full screen (1080p) without dropping graphic settings to low or lowest (which I don't prefer less than medium, I play windowed mode) even while driving solo. If you ask me, from recent models, you should get at least a gtx 1650. I think it is %60 for GPU and %40 CPU for importance.

 

tbh im on a shitty 8000$ gaming labtop it runs games well just checked more cpu

 

since when does a 8000 dollar laptop qualify as shitty

 

I bet he meant $800

 

still
thats not bad

 

since all of the graphical fancys introduced since PBR it has destroyed my graphics card (Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB) while barely using my meh tier AMD Ryzen 3 3100

my theory is that adding so many graphical fancies to a old game engine makes it perform like dogpiss

 

This game is not like most other games, you can create both scenarios: cranking the fancy graphics stuff on ultra while having only 1 car spawned will most likely use more gpu but having 10 cars spawned with lower graphical setting will use more cpu. But i would say the cpu is more important overall.

 

+ playing on amd gpus makes it worse
