    BeamnNG can run on my 6-5 year old laptop. I don't see any big chances of making a physics simulation easy to run on even older hardware.

    You might want to get something stronger than a dual core to run this game.

    I'm running it on a laptop with a NVIDIA GTX 740, 8 GB ram and I don't recall the processor, point is it isn't exactly a supercomputer.

    I've got a 2015 Lenovo Laptop with an NVIDIA GEFORCE 840M and an Intel i7-4510U Dual core on 8GB of RAM. It sounds really impressive but it's not. It's a bit of a gutless wonder, I have overclocked the GPU and CPU just a hair to try and help, but there is only so much you can do on an air cooled laptop.

    The point is it will run BeamNG okay. Just a tad above minimum graphics. I can pull about 25-30fps, with a single car.
    I do wish BeamNG was a little more efficient in its use of computer power, but it's such an advanced simulation. Anyway, optimization would be nice.

    Before they updated BeamNG to use DirectX 11, I was able to run it with an Intel Core2Duo at 2.4GHz, 4Gb of ram, and an NVidia 320M graphics card. With the D Series on most maps I would usually only just dip below 50 FPS unless I hit something or spawned in another car... the physics engine is highly optimized and can run on hardware far below the recommended specs, but now the limiting factor is the graphics card. You must have a DirectX 11 compatible graphics card or your going nowhere.

    Edit: I just saw the couple of posts above me saying far lower FPS then me... do you guys really get that low FPS? When it was working for me on older DirectX it almost never dropped below 50 FPS for me :p

    I have 2 laptops
    Beamng generally works smoothly on my i5 HP(8 Gb ram Intel iris graphics, 2.6ghz) but graphics had to be set on low, while on my Intel Pentium Samsung (4Gb ram intel GMA 4500 graphics, 2.3 GHZ) it ran a bit laggy.
    Also I found that it runs slighty better when connected to a TV via hdmi
    Max fps 90
    All settings low(not lowest)
    Best resolution 1024x768

    Lol, that's an underpowered quad core... I have 3.1 GHz quad core i5 and the same GPU.

    I am running it on my laptop (8GB RAM, Intel 3000 HD Graphics, Intel Dual Core i3-2310M CPU @ 2.10GHz.), and I get about 10fps, which is an ok number for me (lived with lag for a long time)

    I get 60 fps on almost all maps, 40 fps with 6 cars, and thats because my GRAPHICS is limiting me... I have a 750 TI 16gb ram, and an i7 5820k @4.0GHz... I should probably get 980 or such when a new series of nvidia gpu's come out.

    I don't play Beam on my laptop but I have installed it just to see what the performance was. Graphics was the major limiting factor for me. (i7 920XM and Quadro FX 1800M. $200 laptop with an SSD upgrade, pretty much.)

    I get 8-10fps on most maps, 15fps on grid, small, pure.

    I get about 15-20 on most maps on normal graphics but I can get 50 on lowest (but its not worth it) my current laptop costs $2000 (my mum paid $1500 more then she would want to pay)
    My laptop specs.
    • 2.4GHz Intel i7-5500U dual core processor
    • 8GB RAM
    • 1TB hard drive
    • 2GB GFX 940M graphics
    • Windows 8.1
    the only issue with mine is I have a dual core processer.

    edit: I can apparently play most modern games except a few.

    Dont buy from cyberpower or ibuypower they are basically scams. especially their desktops.

    I have a HP Z-Book from school with a mobile i7 and a workstation nivida gpu (workstation gpus are terrible at rendering games) and I can run the game on low with a fairly nice 40 fps. The i7 is nice for having multiple cars but my gpu is pretty bad.
