how good is my pc, because I can't play

I'm playing most of the games, like Battlefield 3, GTA V, War Thunder etc at stable 60-200fps, but recently purchased BeamNG and can't even play it, game is super sluggish, set all settings to medium and turned off antialiasing and all other settings I didn't need... game is still super buggy. Other issue, I couldn't even start it after I closed it, game is not launching at all.......

My system is
i7 870 overclocked to 3.10Ghz
XFX Radeon R7 370 4Gb 256bit
8Gb RAM
I know my system isn't new, but cmon, why can't I play this game ?

 

i reckon its your gpu, R7s as i recall arent the strongest of cards.

 

You'll need to be more specific about what your problems are. What maps are you trying to play on, what graphics settings are you using, what FPS do you achieve with those settings, etc?

 

Its most likely a combo of your GPU and CPU.
Get a new GPU, something from the R9 line will work.
After that if you dont get a framerate increase, your CPU is to blame.
A downfall of Soft body physics in games is that you need a pretty powerful machine to run a game with such physics.
And BeamNG I believe is equally CPU and GPU intensive. CPU for the physics and GPU for pretty much almost everything graphical on screen.

Try a new GPU.

 

I was just getting ready to post in your performance advice thread Driv3r1142. Without any real specifics on what's wrong you are ready to recommend a new GPU?

 

I would say...Medium strength at best....I am trying to be nice about it...

 

That R7 is not really up to the task IMO
Neither is the CPU, but its not really awful.

 

Are you kidding me guys? Even my father's laptop with MOBILE ! version of older R7 m265 handle BeamNG on medium settings with stable 25fps. Newer series + desktop version can handle BeamNG at combo of mid/high settings at very stable 30fps. It's more on the outdated i7 side and it's not well single core performance rather than this GPU. I'd say this problem is caused by some software issues. Be sure that crimson and gaming evolve are turned off.

 

I agree with with Drivver. The Optiplex 990 with Core i5 2400, R7 240 and 8 GB RAM can run the game smoothly on lowest settings (Gridmap (not pure!), one car) with occasional frame drops.
The i5 2400's Passmark single core score is higher, though. As far as I know, each vehicle runs on one thread. It's the individual performance of each thread what counts.

 

This is partially due to my habit of getting down and dirty re-tweaking my computer all the time, but that Core i7 is far newer than my 2600K Sandy Bridge 2nd Generation and, in unison with a XFX Radeon R7970 3GB DD Edition, I can manage to get anywhere from 43 to 56 FPS with no stuttering using a Gavril T-Series trailer-less on Hirochi Raceway using the game's High preset.

The only performance drain I have seen that is worse than not keeping your operating system and overall harddrive and SSD storage solution healthy is a soon to die stick of RAM. I would try spending a full day doing every little bit of performance optimization that you can to your computer, but keep in mind that while researching this you should verify each method with multiple opinions before trying it, AKA different websites and/or YouTube videos.

 

Nope that i7 is about 1.5 year older than your 2600k, also slower.

 

Ah...I apologize for the mistake. I've been messing with too many Core 2 Duo machines lately, hahaha

 

Also this isn't a real GPU you mean the Radeon HD 7970 3GB DD Edition.
Or you mean the ATI Radeon R7 370 DD.

Radeon moved from the HD 7xxx series to the R7/R9 XXX series cards, as far as I know, however I don't know much about the ATI/AMD branching after the HD 7xxx series cards, so I could be wrong.

 

I am so confused, how is his GPU "Not up to the task"
It's most likely an issue of the CPU, try going on a map that gives you unplayable FPS and pause the physics with "J" , if your FPS goes up dramatically then it's your CPU slowing you down. If not than you might need to lower settings.

Make sure your Post FX is off. Mainly SSAO will drain FPS, followed by HDR and DOF.

 

I end up putting the R in front of the 7970 part accidentally out of habit because the box has R7970 printed on the front of it for no other purpose than to catch the consumer's eye. So you're right in the sense that there's no such thing as an R version of any of these cards.

 

I to would have to agree that it is probably some other software on your system that is to blame... reason?

I am running a mid 2010 Macbook Pro
The processor is just a 2.4GHz Cor2Duo
The ram used to be at 4Gb
and the graphics card it just an NVidia 320M... thats right... only 256Mb of video memory.

Before they switched to Direct X 11, I was able to get about 50 to 60fps on gridmap using just the standard truck (naturally with all graphics options at there absolute lowest) with the T-Series I would get knocked down to about 30fps and anything more would just keep taking it down.

This is why I think it is a software issue on your rig because your computer absolutely mutilates my specs!

 

With that logic I would check if his gpu is being used.

 

Yea, the hilarious thing is that my GPU was my bottleneck and not my CPU... granted there wasn't much room for improvement once you get past the GPU part but there was a little.
