GPU problem?

I just recently got an MSI NVIDIA GTX 970, but it seems I'm not getting much performance increase. Most of the cars that I run on gridmap get an average of 20-30 fps, except for the stock truck, the covet, and the pigeon. When I checked the graphics card's stats, it said it was only using 40% GPU power on most cars, except the 3 listed above, which those are using about 60 to 80% GPU power. The only map where I can GPU usage to 100% is cliff with all cars except for the MoonHawk, the new Pessima, and the Truck.

(EDIT new as in 1996-2000 Pessima)

 

The game is also very CPU intensive. Which CPU do you have ?

 

I have an AMD A10-5700 APU

 

That's the bottleneck. BeamNG has pretty high requirements.

 

What would be a good CPU to run BeamNG on?

 

To run BeamNG, the devs recommend a high end i5/i7

 

Any AMDs?

 

No, not really. Intel is better than AMD in my opinion (based on how well friends rigs run)

 

ya i have a MSI NVIDIA GTX 970 but with an i7 6700 and it runs flawlessly so if u can get a faster AMD CPU or i5-i7

 

go with an i7-6700 model, if you want over the top look at my specs in my signature thats what you call over the top to the max...

 

I love how blindly you just parrot talk other peoples suggestions without adding any input, then just brag about your own rig.

 

Wrong and wrong.

It is not possible for software to optimise for or against Intel or AMD via the win32 platform. It is not a matter of poor support for AMD CPUs in BeamNG. It is simple, AMD does genuinely have a much lower instruction throughput for the same clock speed and also has a pretty crippled architecture in which 2 cores share many peripherals games do use extensively (particularly BeamNG).

 

Please use edit post, for the sake of our sanity.

 

The most important thing to know about the whole Intel vs. AMD debate is that many AMD chips use shared floating point units, which means that most AMD quad cores will only have two FPUs. BeamNG is a physics-based game, which means nearly all of its processing is done on the FPUs - hence halved performance compared to an equal-cored Intel processor.

 

Ah, right. Well, yeah, pretty much all that. That's a very good post to keep on hand for whenever someone complains about "terrible AMD optimization" again.

 

There isn't a CPU on earth that runs this game well. Best thing to do is get whatever is the most expensive flagship Intel CPU money can buy and enjoy glorious 45 fps.

 

That is completely wrong. My mid-raneg Core i5 4460 can run the game at a smooth 60+FPS.
