Good computer for Beamng

Hello my name is ryan and i have a 400$ hp computer (i know im not supposed to tell how much it is but i dont care) so i dont know anything about my computer all i know is that it can run the new Utah map with at most 25 fps thats with texture and mesh up at maximum so i need a computer or desktop thats cheap and will actually have good graphics because my computer lags really bad when i turn on lighting to the lowest. but the grid map i get at most 70 fps dont know wy but i do if you have a good cheapish PC could you please leave a link for a comment because get the 4gb ram and stuff i just dont know sense im am a little young im not under 13 thought so not that young

 

Hey Ryan,

A new PC costing under $500-600 pre-built, such as your HP computer will likely not handle any sort of 3D gaming especially with physics with 60FPS.

It would be possible to build yourself one that is fast for just around $600-800. I recommend you educate yourself on your PC and its parts before doing this though. YouTube is a good place for that.

 

Here is a good thread to look into and I think the ones he suggested will play games like this.

 

ok thanks i will look into it since i have been into computers and a lot of gaming it may or may not be easy but i will try to learn, and i will try to save up enough money for the parts. Thanks for telling me.

 

Hey no problem! We all start somewhere.

 

If you're strapped for cash the GFX card I have in my PC is pretty cost-effective. It doesn't need a workhorse of a power supply to work, and it has a BIOS switch to ensure that it will work with a variety of motherboards. An MSI Geforce GTX 750 ti is about $150 and it's spectacular.

 

Never buy pre-built. You can get a lot more for your money if you build it yourself.
Here are two part lists for $500 and $600. Both will run nearly anything on mid/high settings 1080p @60fps. While both builds have the same GPU, the $500 one has the 2GB version which might be a bottleneck in games with high VRAM requirements like GTA V. The $600 build also has a more powerful quad core CPU.

If you want to know more about parts read my computer building guide.

An R9 370 is much better and is $130. Unless you can get it for like $100 the 750 Ti is not worth it.

 

Ok, i will check it out

 

Stick with AMD with the computer processors. their much faster and cheaper than intel's

 

AMD processors don't have the single thread performance that BeamNG.drive needs. Intel wins in this case.

$600 so relatively cheap, you got a quad-core Intel CPU you can overclock later if you need to, 8GB of RAM and a very decent graphics card.
Pretty much everything you need to almost max out BeamNG at 1080p.

 

AMD is slower than intel. Its cheaper yes, but much slower.

 

Source? This is (currently) a false statement. Intel CPUs are vastly better in every way (besides sheer core count, which really doesn't matter).
