    I just got the new Intel Arc A770 16 Gb which is a super cool card. However one of the issues it currently has is that anything directx 11 or older doesn't fully utilize the card. Which definitely hurts frame rate. Im currently seeing about 15 or 30 fps in parts of Italy on the high preset. So I'm wondering if there will be support for the 3rd Entry into the GPU battleground?

    Nevermind guys I used Vulkan and now it works great. Im going to leave this thread up for anyone who gets one of these new arc gpus ans wants to run Beam with it

    Hello! Thank you for updating with your Vulkan success. I have a couple follow-up questions if you don't mind. What sort of FPS are you seeing, what is your resolution / graphics preset, and how stable has Vulkan been thus far?

    Absolutely guys. So I keep my frame rate capped at 60fps because I only have a 60hz monitor and it holds at 60 fps comfortably using the ultra or high settings. I'm running 1080p. Vulkan is rather unstable and terrain rendering is pretty hit or miss.
    Sometimes it never crashes othertimes its crashing often. Also after a cache clear some mod textures won't load unless you respawn the mod. Any other questions?

    Thanks for the info! Sounds a bit sketchy still, but has potential.

    I mean Vulkan is all I use and most of the time you don't really even notice anything. But when it acts up it acts up.

    Maybe you can try DXVK alternatively, would be interesting to have a comparison. Download DXVK 2.0 from GitHub, unzip the tar.gz and move d3d11.dll and dxgi.dll into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive\Bin64\
    This will translate the Dx11 graphics to Vulkan (So you don't start the game in Vulkan mode with this!). It's also what Intel is now doing in the Arc drivers for Dx9 titles.
