http://www.techradar.com/news/compu...-will-arrive-for-high-end-pcs-in-2016-1310980 check this out. this is hi end desktop hardware. much more viable options from both sides this time around. this is all really good news for the beamng project.
im psyched. i feel like since 2010ish we have only been getting small upgrades. now the jump is pretty big. there will be 32gigs of vram on the next batch of super hi end graphics cards and its going to be 3 times as fast. hbm2=1TB/s bandwidth. its the future. sorry for thread jacking.
I'm already hyped like a 12 year old, I'm SO looking forward to replace my trusty X6 Phenom setup. Last time I was so anxious it was before the launch of the Wii U. Somehow I feel I this time I won't be disappointed as well.
Yeah the phenom hardware is really not up to par with the gpus we have today. My cousin came stock at 3.2 and I over volted it and have it stable at 4.1 and still it's not enough. Beamng is getting 100 percent usage out of my 290x however according to afterburner.
My own graphics card isnt even hot when it runs BeamNG Drive I mean it gets up to about 40 Degrees C, it can run up to 83 Degrees C and be okay so no harm there..
mine is a powercolor pcs+ so the cooler is much better than the horrible stock AMD cooler for these cards. i usually run at around 60 degrees Celsius with full use by beaming. most games you can get away with an ok CPU as long as your GPU is fast enough. Beamng is the exception it looks like.

My respect to your laptop must be awesome for gaming out and about but it must run like a blast furnace when your playing top end games...
Indeed it is, that's a monster... Mine is; Mid 2010 MacBook Pro Intel Core2Duo 2.4GHz NVidia 320M (sadly does not support DirectX 11 ) 16GB 1066MHz DDR3 ram 1TB 3GB/s SSD Used to be able to run BeamNG just fine at about 40 to 60 fps on low graphics settings (obviously) before they updated to DirectX 11... now I can't get any updates or else it doesn't launch
i have a 2010 mbp. didnt even know beamng would work on that. im gonna have to try the dx9 version. Have you tried it yet?
