    Hello. I'm considering buying BeamNG Drive from Steam, but I'm uncertain about my hardware performance. Unfortunately, my laptop doesn't have a very strong graphics card. My graphics card is an Nvidia Quadro M1000M. I know that I have to reduce the resolution to 900p in GTA 5 to achieve at least around 40 - 60 FPS. Meanwhile, in Dirt 4, I hardly need to lower anything and can often achieve over 60 FPS. It wouldn't be a big deal if I have to lower the resolution in BeamNG Drive to 900p or 720p. However, I would like to maintain at least low shadows without dropping too many FPS. It wouldn't be a problem if the FPS fluctuates between 40 to 60 FPS, even with AI traffic. I also want to create my own track and drive around. Otherwise, my laptop has 32GB of DDR4 RAM.

    Here are the technical details for my laptop:
    Operating System Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro for Workstations
    Version: 10.0.19045 Build 19045
    System Manufacturer: HP
    System Model: HP ZBook 15 G3
    Processor: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1505M v5 @ 2.80GHz, 2808 MHz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
    BIOS Version/Date: HP N81 Ver. 01.42, 08/20/2019
    Installed Physical Memory (RAM): 32.0 GB
    Total Physical Memory: 31.9 GB
    Available Physical Memory: 19.4 GB
    Total Virtual Memory: 36.6 GB
    Available Virtual Memory: 19.2 GB
    Page File Size: 4.75 GB

    Name: NVIDIA Quadro M1000M
    Adapter Type: Quadro M1000M, NVIDIA-compatible
    Adapter Description: NVIDIA Quadro M1000M
    Color Table Entries: 4294967296

    What do you think, would buying BeamNG Drive be worth it, or will I be very disappointed with the performance on my laptop?

    Im not a pro in laptop/pc specs, so dont except my reply to be 100% correct.
    Well, if you are OK with low graphics then yes.
    Also, dont except to be able to spawn much cars (i think 4 traffic cars with disabled parked cars would be perfect).
    I think from the lowest graphics you should have around 20-30 fps.
