If your game lags consider turning off shadows.

Guys, take the personal chat to PM

 

Thank you for the tip, It works pretty well. Especially for those of us who have better things to spend money on than computer upgrades (such as food, gas, taxes, electricity. . .).

 

Those of you telling OP to simply buy a new GPU are crazy. Not everyone can drop $200-400 on a new GPU. I say that sitting with a very high end desktop. The shadows trick is amazing and netted me 20 extra FPS on my school laptop.

 

Buy better components usually solve everything in terms of bad performance, why we are so stupid and never thought about it before? Well not everybody lives in UK/Germany/USA where electronic is extremely cheap comparing to the payment. For example in my country you earn same amount of cash example "2000", but it's worth only one fifth of pound, so we have to pay like 5 times more. If you get 2000 pounds per month, you can buy decent PC, monitor, headset, speakers, keyboard and mouse by just one payment, while our "2000 cash" which is monthly payment isn't enough for decent CPU and GPU alone (GTX 970 costs over 1500, i5 4690K costs ~ 1100). Now imagine for example that when new iPhone is released we have to pay for it "6000cash", which literally feels like you'd have to pay for it 6000 pounds, and almost everything is like that. Well and there are peoples who come to my country and work here, because they got better payments here (kinda mindblowing - that close we live, that much is different). I've been working in UK* and dear God you live like in heaven. By the way I have no idea why peoples here buys consoles, while PCs are that cheap there, and perform way way better. So... no, buying better components isn't that easy for everybody.

*Like a damn slave, no body from GB would stay in this "simple" job like collecting fruits - I've seen some trying, they left it after 1 hour, too fast working, too much precision needed and too exhausting. But for me it was worth it I've bought new PC and motorbike by only 1 month working in GB, I'd have to work half a year in my country to get those things.

Seriously, this "trick" actually helped me to get stable 60FPS on High settings (with V-sync) so it's actually smooth right now, while before I had a lot of suttering and input lags. This really changed a lot. You may say that you have 40-70 FPS, but to your knowledge, stable 30FPS are better than jumping from 50 to 70 frequently. When I have like 80 fps game isn't fluid like, FPS should stay at monitor refresh rate or half of it.

 

In this thread‚ people seems to don't understand the fact change piece of your comput et cost money‚ and all people doesn't got the money for buy new piece ...

 

This. This exactly.
Here we go, my current bank balances:


I have to pay rent, electric and gas bills. I have to eat. I have £45 to do so. I have no job. Do the math people. Getting a new GPU, totally possible, particularly worrying when current is dying.

 

Brilliant.

 

I have done everything and got 1 FPS difference, i doubt he has a great graphics card, as mine is probably the same as his.

Thats why we have jobs, and if ur not old enough, chores and grades.

Im guessing you still live with your parents then, as i have no clue how you would live without a job. (not making fun, i am assuming)

 

If your lighting quality is already set to "lowest" then shadows are disabled by default, so if you had lowest lighting to begin with, the trick would do nothing.

Some people live in poorer countries where a new graphics card cost equivalent of $2000 here, so even having a job wouldn't help.

It's possible he had a job but lost it, or is getting support from his family. He did say he pays rent so it's likely he lives alone or with room mates.

 

Senario
ECA, Custom D-Series, Driving at 60MPH.

Settings
All high
v-sync, dynamic reflections, anti aliasing are turned off.

Relavant Specs
GPU 980TI at 1400Mhz.
CPU: 5930K at 4.3Ghz.

1080P between 93 and 61 Fps
4K between 42 and 25 Fps

Same Settings, Shadows turned off

1080P between 153 and 95 Fps
4K between 55 and 28 Fps

My point is, his advice helps in some cases,
To the people that say to "just" buy a new graphics card, not everybody has the money to do that, so when people like @Hbruce9 gives some advice for people that does not have the money, just ignore the topic and move on, if you can say "buy a new graphics card" then the thread is very likely not relevant to you.

No matter what graphics card you have BeamNG runs badly(Graphical side), so i think that it's nice that @Hbruce9 tries to inform people that have problems running the game.

 

Sure.
You know what is "Study"
