The graphics card: frame rates in BeamNG.drive rise with GPU speed.
Graphics card (GPU)
Main limit
60 FPS at 1080p needs about an RTX 3060 or RX 7600; a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT is below its minimum on video memory.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
BeamNG.drive recommends a Core i7-9700 or equivalent; a Core i5-12400 or anything faster clears that. We have no measured processor limit for BeamNG.drive, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
6 GB min · 8 GB rec
The minimum spec lists 6 GB of video memory and the recommended spec 8 GB. On a card with less, lower texture quality first: running out of video memory shows up as stutter or blurry textures, not as a lower average.
Settings to lower first in BeamNG.drive
- 1Resolution or render scale, or upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) where BeamNG.drive offers it. Rendering fewer pixels is the biggest single saving.
- 2Then shadows, volumetric effects (fog, clouds, lighting) and ambient occlusion: in most games these cost the most frame rate for the least visible difference.
- 3Texture quality only if your card has less than 8 GB of video memory. With enough memory, textures cost little frame rate, so keep them high.
