To help get a better idea of what settings to use for your system post your options. I'll go first i5-3210m GT 650M 6GB DDR3 PostFX disabled, I'm aware it says HD 4000 but I have optimus and a bug shows the intel instead of the Nvidia.
I use max settings with PostFX (the second PostFX file on this thread --> http://www.beamng.com/threads/5396-...ttings-file-and-try-others!?p=64817#post64817) My rig is in the signature, pretty much a GTX 680 doing the work (the same as a GTX 770)
Max settings with no postfx. AMD A8-3850 @ 4.2GHz (Kuhler water cooling) 8GB DDR3 EVGA GTX 650ti boost ssc 2gb overclocked
Wait.... HD7970? Why not max it out? lol - - - Updated - - - Pretty interesting set up to say the least. Two questions, first: Why not enable PostFX? it really makes the game look much better o: second: What made you go for an APU? I mean, if you use a discrete graphics card?
1: SSAO sucks performance and I don't really enjoy the other effects. 2: The APU, motherboard, and RAM were a Christmas present. I used the APU until I got a 7750. (Then upgraded to the 650ti. I was going to get a 660ti but I saved some money getting this one for $160 and my CPU is the bottleneck in Drive so it wouldn't have made a difference.) BTW, i get 40-80 FPS depending on map and vehicle.
Fair enough, but I don't really see SSAO sucking that much performance, maybe I just didn't notice it... Why didn't you stick with the HD7750? Isn't the GTX650Ti just 20% better or something? Nice rig anyway
I have everything on low and turned off postFX. 2.4 dual core intel, 4gb ram, integrated graphics. 25 average FPS, not bad for a 4yr old laptop.
Fully maxxed at 1680x1050, postfx fully enabled. 40+fps with any single vehicle available now. Drops to ~20 with over four cars. i7 2600k@3.4GHz ASUS DirectCUII OC GTX 760 ASUS P8P67 Pro 16GB(4x4) 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 Corsair Vengance Three Seagate and WD HDDs gutted from older PCs.
