    Hey, just wondering if my new laptop has any chance of running BeamNG Drive, and if the more complicated maps can run. My specs:

    HP-BS198TX 15.6" Laptop

    8th Gen Intel Core i7 8550U Quad Core @1.8 GHz
    (1.8 - 4.0 GHz, 8MB L3 Cache)

    8GB RAM

    AMD Radeon 530 Graphics 4GB Graphics

    Windows 10 Home

    EDIT: I already have BeamNG.drive anyway, so I downloaded it and gave it a shot. Turns out that on simple, flat maps without foliage, I can get a stable smooth fps on normal quality settings. On jungle-ish maps and other high-performance maps like the default West Coast, USA, it's hopeless. Still a much bigger improvement than my old laptop.

    TL;DR: Yeah, whatever, it kinda works. My laptop isn't a gaming one anyway.

    That should run BeamNG fairly well in my opinion. Mind you ANY desktop/laptop playing BeamNG will lag eventually, depending on visual settings
    and content being played. Laptops by their nature have a tougher time dealing with this game but you should be happy in general.
    I still play with a 4 year old laptop and am quite happy how it handles BeamNG.

    I am downloading the game now! In half an hour or so, I should be able to tell you how well she runs.

    A Radeon 530 4Gb should do alright.
