General computer talk/advice

what do you guys think of this

huge step up from my current system for around the same retail price

 

Drop the ryzen 5 1600 for a 1400 and invest the extra cash into a better video card IMO. The Radeon RX 570 would probably be a good choice.

 

what would be a better card for a similar price?
I dont know much about video cards

which CPU would run more cars, the 1400 or the 1600
currently running dual core on a laptop so the more the better

The 1600 of course, but with BeamNG you cant really do more than about 8 cars without issues, be it lag from graphics or just crash to desktop. The 1400 should be able to get to 8 cars with little hassle.

But if you can go to the 1600 then its a pretty worthwhile investment as it will run other games and any CPU based tasks better.

 

1600 will likely be better in long term and it's not too much more expensive than 1400. Do you really need 500 GB SSD? Maybe taking 250GB SSD and better, faster 1TB HDD would be a better choice (this move would still be cheaper, so you might be able to get faster/more RAM)

 

what about this

Can't say anything for Toshiba drives, but spec's wise pretty good.

 

I'm gonna build a computer with my dad, we plan on Intel I3 7th gen top class, GTX 1050 TI, and a relatively high end ram: (16 gigs or more) How will this run Beam?

 

What counts as Top-Class i3 for you - 7100 or 7350k? If you mean 7350k, then that is not so good choice. i5 with 4 actual cores would be better.

 

Or invest a bit more and get a ryzen

 

It's slightly better than my build, so 3 cars or trucks and just about max settings (Including dynamic reflections) at 72+ FPS (the refresh rate of my monitor)

 

This is a kind of Budget Build. We mean 7350k 4.20 Ghz one.

 

The I3-7350k is a waste of money. Get an I5-7500. You won't regret it.

 

Just for reference a I5-4460 @ 3.1GHz can hold 4 semi mixers (5341 beams) at 72*`FPS but that is with most CPU time spent on calculating each beam than anything else

*Edited due to me having a fps limiter on
`Has youtube video playing in the background with msi afterburner open and hwmonitor - steam is also open

ALSO

Info about the I5-4460 so you won't have to go searching

It's base clock is 3.2GHz and throttles itself to 3.1GHz it's peak is 3.4GHz HWmonitor can confirm that
the I5-4460 is a 4th gen processor with 4 cores and 4 threads and supports only DDR3 by my understanding
It is also a LGA1150 Socket

 

Is iz normal that i cant spawn more than 2 cars without going under 30fps on gridmap? Is that the gpu or the cpu.

 

That's probably your processor.

 

Really shouldnt a 6600k get more done than just 2 cars?

 

Press "j" to pause physics. If fps goes up, it's CPU fault. If fps stays the same, it's GPU
