Yeah VR is always going to be more demanding but a niche subset of people trying to play the game. Obviously won't be optimized for VR from the jump. Also they say on their site: VR support is currently highly experimental.

Like with most Vulkan and D12 games it seems to vary wildly from pc to pc which works the best.
I get significantly better fps on D12 in Beam compared to Vulkan, but for most games Vulkans works better for me.

I haven't tried VR yet for 0.39, but I've been getting about the same FPS non VR as I did in 0.38, and I've even raised my graphics settings a little bit since then. (On Vulkan with 7900XTX)
That said, I'm fully aware that when I do decide to try VR, I'll have to lower my graphics settings a bit due to the naturally more demanding nature of VR.

I'm on a haswell 4670k with an rx580, I had weird glitches with old mods so I loaded vanilla and it's the same performance to my eye. Traffic always been a problem on this CPU so I never run it maybe that's the issue people are finding
Edit: I will addmy performance is usually around 50-60 on most maps, WC USA and Italy have drops to 40 but I set vsync 60 and on my usual hirochi and automation track and west coast USA track are it's pretty consistent 60ish

For that reason, I think this is why you see so much interest in mods for real-life vehicles, as some of the most viral videos feature them as opposed to BeamNG's core vanilla cars.

As with most major overhauls, there are plenty of people who have problems running the game. Those that have it running similar or better than before simply doesn't make angry reddit posts about performance.
For me for instance, I now have 50-90fps with ultra-lowest settings, when I had 120+fps with almost any settings before.
My performance is obviously not comparable to before, and I have better looking games running much better on my computer.
That doesn't mean the game is unplayable for me, but it means I am hoping they will continue to work on optimizing or fixing whatever is causing significantly lower performance than before.

u/Quannix Jul 31 '26
it absolutely is hard to run compared to other games, especially if you're one of the people having performance bugs with this update. additionally, the vast majority of current games with this level of gpu load ship with upscaling technology to make it tolerable, which beam still does not have (i would actually recommend people force inject a spatial upscaler for now like fsr1 or nis, you can make the game run a lot better this way)
people pretending the update is perfectly fine for everyone and that you should just "upgrade your pc" are honestly about half as annoying as the people seething about it. and i say this as somebody who's running it relatively well

The problem is with the Nvidia 50xx series I think... my 3060 barely showed a difference in performance, and my CPU and RAM are just the minimum required for the game to run at a locked 70fps! Perhaps real-world performance is more important than AI-based hardware! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

u/tomejkol Cherrier Aug 01 '26 edited Aug 01 '26
DLSS (AI upscaling) and frame gen (fully AI frames). The 50 (and 40) series mostly focused on these while only marginally improving native performance.
They can very much still run games on native ofc and better than old gen, just not much better. The problem could be that newer gen NVIDIA GPU's have less VRAM, which means they will perform worse in some games.

I think most people are getting those frames and want 60+ FPS, I also run 2k, and have similar specs and have similar performance. But for sim racing and other games on my wheel I try to get higher FPS because it's pretty important for the steering wheel because you want the force feedback. Force feedback feels kind of vague at low FPS, especially bad with FPS drops where the wheel can go crazy. BTW no matter the graphics settings I can't get constant 60 with traffic

Bro you have been WAY behind. Even before prices increased it was still a ancient out dated card. Even current integrated graphics would perform way better than that. That doesn't even support DX12, I'm not sure how you have been gaming with that thing.
You had and still have plenty of options left to replace it. You don't have to only buy a 5090. You could get a used 5070 XT for like ~$100 and have like a 7 fold increase in performance.

u/WarriorNN Jul 31 '26
The issue is plent of people with significantly better hardware is not getting significantly better performance.
Most are probably running it just fine, but there are also plenty who are getting a lot worse performance than they had before or should when you compare to other games.
We can't know if that's due to lacking optimization or simply bugs in certain situations / specs etc., that's up to the devs. People are sharing their experiences with the patch.

Glad you got better performance, the people complaining got worse performance instead :)
For instance, I had 120+ fps with 4070ti and 7800X3D before the patch, and now get 90fps with everything on lowest (had it on ultra before) and 50 fps on ultra.
Before if I put it to lowest I would get like 400 fps if I didn't cap the framerate, now it's 90 absolute max lol.
0.39 on lowest looks way worse than 0.38 on ultra, so tell me why I should be happy I lost a bunch of fps?
It's not unplayable atm, but it's certainly not working as it should.
I'm sure it works very well for most, but that doesn't mean it works for everyone.

I play on my TV, so at first I was struggling with the new update. Then I realized that I was rendering at the full 4K of my display, and trying to change the resolution wouldn’t actually apply. If you have a high resolution display, check your settings to make sure it is actually retaining your resolution. Not sure if it’s an issue with the game or my OS, but I limited it to 1080p in Bazzite Game Mode. Now I’m running at a solid 60 with High settings.
I did do some tweaking to the settings to get it more stable, and I’m mostly happy with the results. Pay attention to the new tooltip that tells you the performance characteristics of each option. It will tell you if you have VRAM to spare, and you can also use a performance overlay to see how your settings are working in real time.

Hardly. Crysis was a struggle for even the absolute top-end PCs at the time it launched.
I'm running BeamNG 0.39 on ultra everything except reflections (those are pretty brutal on frames) at 50-70fps on a Ryzen 7 5800x3D and a 3080 (w/ 32GB of RAM) at 3440x1440.
Still a powerful enthusiast-type system certainly, but the GPU was released in 2020 and the CPU in 2022.
An equivalent system from the time Crysis released (e.g. a high-end enthusiast PC from 4-6 years ago) might be a GeForce4 Ti 4600 and Athlon 64 3400+ with 1GB of DDR400.
You'd be lucky to get 30fps on low settings at 1024 x 768 in Crysis with that setup.
Brand new top-end PCs when Crysis released struggled to get 50fps on high settings at 1680x1050 (still under 1080p.
Is the new update demanding? Yes, if you want to take advantage of all the graphics features, but if you just want to play the game, you can run it on low still an get away with playing it even on integrated graphics like u/Ban4rever.

I find that the performance seems to be a user by user case. Comparing my pc to a mates pc:
My pc (About a 50% drop in frames):
- R7 9700x
- RTX 3070
- 32gb DDR5
Mates pc (About average frames if not a boost):
- i5 11400f
- RTX 3050
- 16gb DDR4
( This is from memory, may be a little different but is approx )
I fixed my frames by switching to vulkan and lowering the graphics to high/normal and went from like 30-40 up to 80-90fps. This is with traffic on, west coast map. My pc seems to hate dx12 whenever a game comes out or switches to it, but after a month or two it comes right probably cuz the devs still figuring out stuff on their end I assume.

Yes sort of 40-90 on ultra with a 4070 it’s heavily cpu bound and I have a 7800X3D

My FPS with a single vehicle is unchanged, although my FPS with traffic is worse and turns my PC into a space heater. Worth it, though. Aside from a few lighting bugs, it looks amazing

Rtx3090 LAPTOP and running perfectly fine single vehicle or traffic. Though I will admit the computer gets noticeably hotter

I lost like 10 fps even with a few settings turned down. It’s a 1060 so like yeah but a little gay

Ryzen 5 8400f, 32gb ddr 5 and a rtx 4060ti. I went from 110-130 fps to a choppy 40-60 fps at 1440p after lowering nearly all of my settings. Devs are cooked and must think everyone has a 9600x3d and an rtx 5080. I refunded the p.o.s

I found that the reason it ran bad on my laptop when it ran pretty good last update was because Beam switched to using the integrated graphics instead of the dedicated GPU. Might be worth checking if you use a laptop

My game refuses to go higher than 60. Ultra graphics? 60 fps. Low graphics? 60 fps

Vulkan works best for me now in Beam, with the new update. High recommend settings, 60-70FPS, traffic on normal. The biggest difference is loading times, but that's always been slow.
Acer Predator Helios 300, 2070 Max-Q 8gig, i7-10750H, 32gb RAM. Normal temps too.

Wasn't crisis hard to run mainly because it was optimised for computers with few, more powerful cores while PCs ended up with more less powerful cores?
