Bad lag on gaming computer

That's because Beamng is very demanding.

 

Do you have a graphics card?

 

What Graphics card do you use? Also the AMD FX series CPU's are kinda hit n miss with this game, some seem to work fine some are horrible.

 

Your CPU, ahem, Computer... is a PoS(Edit; For beamNG.)
Too bad you have a crappy AMD chipset and socket M/B, otherwise I would definately say go upgrade to a real good setup.

But you're stuck with this, so lets move past the rant;


Let me guess, Prebuilt? if so, give us the exact model, otherwise tell us the GPU.
GPU=Graphics card=Graphics Processing Unit/Video Card

Your CPU will pull about 40 FPS in Beam on a lucky day with vehicle collisions off with one vehicle.
But that value is based upon what your GPU is capable of. And we dont know that.


Either give us the model of your prebuilt, or if its a really crappy cheap custom build, tell us what GPU you have.

Ofcourse he has a graphics card if he is able to see anything on his screen. And assuming where he got his specs from, it might not list the GPU.

 

You're probably right on the CPU bottleneck, but really? Calling someone's decent PC a piece of sh*t?
Yeah, happy Christmas to you too..

 

Happy Christmas to you too

But that's not decent for what he is wanting it to do sadly. Its decent for things like low end gaming, and general computing.

When you play BeamNG, you should realize that most AMD hardware isn't up to the task.
Since we are talking about lag in BeamNG, I am saying his PC isn't up to the task.

So before you say it isn't a PoS, first realize where I am coming from.

Here's where I agree with you;

Sure it isn't a PoS if you are just dipping your feet in the water with games. Plenty of games would run on his system assuming he has a half-decent GPU, and not something worse than a Radeon r7 260x.

Sure it isn't a PoS if you are just a person using your PC for work and video streaming or other average computing tasks.

Here's where we disagree;

It's a PoS when you want to go all out into playing games. Many games will struggle on AMD processors and some AMD graphics cards, while their Intel and Nvidia equivalents do better. BeamNG is one of those games where it struggles with AMD based systems.

If you are serious with games like BeamNG, this is like your worst nightmare right here.

I would not call this a full blown gaming machine, rather a business machine/light gaming machine.

I think you are coming from the standpoint of its a light gaming machine.



Back on topic;

We still need to know your GPU
@Morgiman

Because that would also affect your FPS.

 

I thought:

6-core processors > quad-core

 

That's a topic for another day, some say AMD's processors' cores are halves.

 

they aren't so much halves as they are Siamese twins with shared resources slowing them down, and a slower pipeline than intels in the first place

 

My graphics card is a AMD Radeon R7 200 series

200 series isnt a model, its a series, we need the model.

 

I`m kinda confused, I know a lot about tech but not this :/

 

device manager will tell you what display adapter you are using, as will the performance tab in BeamNG and dxdiag.

 

Got dxdiag running.

 

Thanks for calling my 409£ pc a light gaming pc, It`s actually classed as an average gamer pc so its not that bad and I may update my graphics card to a Nvidia.

 

£409 will only get you very light gaming mate. Even if you build one rather than buying one, £409 still only gets you barely into the mid range.

 

It was meant to be 500£

 

Even so, £500 on a pre built PC doesnt get a whole lot of hardware
