How will a GTX 1060 6GB run beam.ng

I know, it's weird for me too... I blame the dam BIOS update doing something to my PC, since after that I got worse performance in games than I had before & even after a rollback to older version, it didn't really help... But yes, the fps on the West Coast go from 30 to 50 with one car, on Normal, 2xAA, Dynamic Reflections & 1080p

 

I'm guessing you already checked, but there may be a setting in the BIOS that changed, like the CPU clock setting, or maybe a 'power saving' mode or something. Be worth a check if you haven't already

 

simple answer:

A GTX 1060 Can run BeamNG Extremely well

 

oh well..... mine is an alienware x51 r3 with i5-6400 and an r9-370 plus the graphics card

 

They saw you coming. That's all I'm gonna say

 

Ya i was kinda wondering that too because i could run on high 1080p 60fps with my slightly overclocked R9 290 and fx 8350 and I would get a better gpu but from what i've seen anything higher than a 1060 6gb will bottleneck with my fx 8350 and when I upgrade to an i5 should be pretty good with it

 

Being someone else who is currently in the market for a graphics card, having had the OP's question answered, and not wanting to start yet another one of these threads, I will ask for advice here. With the OP's system specs, the conclusion is that a GTX 1060 will be bottlenecked by his system. Alright, fair enough.

I was also considering a 1060, but I don't know if that would be the right choice for me due to potential bottlenecking... for me though, I just don't know where the bottleneck would be. Or if I should go higher or lower with my card choice.

My system is currently:
2011 Mac Pro 5.1
Dual Intel Xeon X5650's with 6 cores each running at 2.67GHz (but can turbo up to 3... according to the task manager anyways)
32Gb's of Ram (I think its either ddr3 or ddr4)
and Dual AMD Radeon HD 5700's running in Crossfire (supposedly)

Now I know I am a scrub for not building my own system... and for getting an apple... but if it makes you feel any better... I didn't buy this from apple... I got this thing pretty darn cheap.

Currently my bottleneck is the Graphics cards... clearly... My rig only manages 6fps in the new West Coast map whether the physics are running or not, but well into the upper 40's on gridmap (again, physics running or not).

I would like to go for a graphics card that wont bottleneck my system, but at the same time, I don't want to go overkill and get something that will, in turn, be bottlenecked by my system.

If it is determined that I should start my own thread on this, then I will, but I just hate starting pointless threads when there are others just like it answering the same questions over and over again.

 

It's DDR3, the PCIe is only 1.0 and will bottleneck any modern card, it's also firmware locked into not recognising many cards including entire Pascal GPU line. CPU is also bottleneck in those machines. Twin CPU seems to reduce beam performance (likely due to CPU interconnect) and the xeons aren't particularly fast, that and twin xeons have higher I/O latency.

 

Ahh, so basically anything modern that I pick out of a line up will only perform better up to the limit of PCIe 1.0 and then be bottlenecked wether the rest of the system can keep up with it or not? Well... that kinda sucks, but I guess I was kind of prepared for an answer like that anyways.

 

hey i builded my pc 1 month ago, pc spec-msi z270a-pro/i5-7600k/12gb ddr4/zotac-gtx-1060-6gb-amp edition, i run all the map on 1080p max seting /vsync on 60fps alway, only the new map i need to disable dynamic reflection
