Low fps with certain cars

To start I will list my computer specs:
AMD fx-6300 stock speeds
GTX 770 - stock speeds
8 gigs of ram

When I sue certain cars my frame rate goes from a stable 60+ down to 25 even when I am not moving. An example is that I added the helljeep, a custom car, and I get around 55-60 fps while deriving, with the occasional dips to 45 when braking/lost of particles. With the stock pickup truck that you get at the start of the game, I get around 35 and below. I have tried turning down the settings, but the performance is the same. Is my processor bottle necking my 770? That seems to be the only logical thing.

 

Yes. Although I would have thought a 6300 could keep up, AMD CPUs have terrible single threaded performance and with the physics being on the CPU, this is why the moonhawk kills 8350s at stock clocks.

A GTX 770 is a great card, no problems there.

So as a solution, try

1 - Make sure the computer isn't in power savings mode (it's a power plan in control panel)

2 - Make sure you're not overheating

3 - Close any additional programs

4 - Overclock!!! You will see much better performance nearing the 4Ghz mark.

 

Well i did try overclocking once, as this is a budget pc(I got the 770 for a really good deal) but I never ran any benchmarks to see if it was stable, and I am not very familiar with overclocking. I have the gigabyte 970a ds3p motherboard, and from what i have read it isn't very overclock friendly. And my cpu temps never go above 35 degrees celsius (I got an AIO liquid cooler from bestbuy for a deal)

 

If you have a good PSU, and since you have good cooling, overclocking is an excellent way to get more out of the PC in more than just BeamNG.

Open the BIOS, increase multiplier, if it doesn't boot or if it glitches then increase voltage or decrease multiplier.

 

I wouldn't bother overclocking the CPU just for BeamNG. As a fellow AMD FX owner, I can tell you the performance gains aren't worth the extra stress on the components. BeamNG is just one of those things that runs better on Intel processors. It'll stay that way until we (if ever) get GPU physics.

I run a mild overclock, but going from 4.4 to 5GHz gave me 3FPS boost with the Moonhawk. And required a voltage boost. Which bumped temps up. Which made the processor throttle down. So that 3FPS boost turned to a 10FPS loss after things got nice and toasty.

 

You shouldnt be suing cars anyway

 

i have had a completely opposite effect. I have a amd fx 6100 and overclocking from 3.3 to 4.0-4.4(4.4 wasnt kinda stable) ghz has at times given me 20ish more fps. Then again, my chip overclocks very well.
