    I have a dell 980optiplex machine with 8 gigs of ram, an intel i7 running at 3.1 ghz and a radeon rx550 4gb gddr5, all in all cost me about 300 dollars including upgrades and so, good for runnning beamng at 30-50 fps at 720p resolution. Tell me all about the cheap or crappy systems you´ve played games on!

    I’ve played games on a 2015 MacBook that had a 1.1 GHz Intel core M and 8 GB of DDR3 RAM and integrated graphics. It couldn’t even run .io games properly.

    This should actually play the game decently well since I’m thinking that this is a second or third gen chip. I ran the game with a 2GB GT1030 which is a TINY bit faster than that Rx 550 but I ran it on an AMD FX CPU which is boatloads behind your CPU.

    Use lower settings and you’ll be good!
