very Low FPS on BeamNG. Drive

[Sloppy-Sarah]

I have just changed my PC which had worse specs than my new PC that i got just about a month ago. I installed Beam NG and cant run it over 20FPS. I could run it on my old computer fine at nearly 30-50 FPS but my new computer should be much more powerful. Here are my Specs:
Graphics Card: Nvidia GX 750Ti (2GB)
Ram: 8GB
Processor speed: 4.30 GHz
1TB hard drive
AMD Processor (not sure on full name)
My old computer had an AMD Radeon HD 8570 with 3.2 GHz and 8GB of ram. Also with windows 10 64 bit not sure why I cant run the game properly anymore

[Sloppy-Sarah]

The speed changed alittle bit, Started at 3.10 - 3.05 then by the end of the smal test I did it was at 2.88-2.95

[Nadeox1]

It didn't go any lower or you didn't keep that open long enough?

[Sloppy-Sarah]

Didnt go any lower that the 2.88-2.95. Stayed along that number for 2 ish mins?

I'd need the CPU Model.

[Sloppy-Sarah]

CPU is an AMD Athlon(tm) X4 860k Quad Core Processor

Do this:

Open the game, load GRIDMAP and do not move the car or the camera.
Go to options > Gameplay > Enable the 'Advanced Mode'.
In the side menu now, you should see an icon that says 'PERFORMANCE'.
Press it and let the graphs fill your screen. Then press ALT+O and copy here the link to the image.

[Hello There]

I know it's simple, but it is easy to forget. Have you changed the power options to 'High Performance'.

[Sloppy-Sarah]

Hi Bob. Yes my power setting are on high performance mode :) and here is the link from the results of the test http://media.beamng.com/ahDJl7xmy1Pl1Wd8

As you can see on the graphs, the FPS drops quite considerably. Running 60FPS then bam! 40FPS

Watch this tutorial this guy help me a lot! if you don`t understand just follow what he do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3ro2xEaQXg&feature=youtu.be

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I am glad to say following his setup, this has given me up to 90 FPS!!!! Drops to 60-70 now and then but thats more than playable!!!!!

I have an AMD FX-8320 OC to 4.0ghz / GTX 770 and I'm having problems with fps too from 20 to 60 sometimes at the lowest preset, will the game receive a multi-core update soon?

BeamNG.Drive already uses multi-core, but in a limit way we can say.
We currently simulated 1 vehicle per each core.

Spawn 1 vehicle - 1 core will be used for that vehicles
Spawn n vehicles - n cores will be used (1 for each vehicle).

The issue comes with CPUs that have low performane with single-core performance. If you load a more complex vehicle (like the T-Series), you put much more load on that core, and if performance lacks, FPS goes down.

Distributing one vehicle load onto all cores is something we plan to do, but it's a very very complex discussion.

As for your issue, it sounds like an overheating issue?

Try this:
Load a map and a vehicle you usually have this issue with.
Go to options > gameplay > enable 'Advanced Mode'
In the sidemene there should be a new button named 'PERFORMANCE'
Press it and let the graphs fill the screen.
Press ALT+O and paste the link for the image here.

Go to the BeamNG.Drive directory (Steam/Steamapps/Common/BeamNG.Drive/Bin64) and run the 'banana-bench.x64.bat' file.
When done, take a screenshot and post the link here.

First I must say that I was running windowed mode and that for some reason made the game laggy even when fps was high. Then I did some test on full screen, no laggy screen.

Now... it is not overheating, I have a aftermarket cooler, when on BeamNG it stays about 40c, my cpu recommended max temp is 65c I think sometimes 1 of the cores peaks to about 95% usage. Now the GPU it is what is being very used between 80 to 100% temps in about 70c (max temp cap is 98c).

The game stays aroung 70 if not moving but sometimes when driving the fps drops to about 20~30fps for about 10 seconds and then it stables to 60~50fps, feels like its something related to things loading in the horizon, when these slowdowns occur the CPU and GPU usage is not that high, I can't see a relation between high usage and game slowdowns.
Just to add I use a FFB Wheel G27.

Ok, let's try this.

Pause physics and go in free camera mode.
Move the camera around the map.
The same FPS issue happens?

If not, try with a vehicle like the pigeon and drive around the map.
FPS issue happens?

If not, try with another vehicle like the moonhawk and check.

[Mr. Beerscuit]

Hmm so... I tried the free gamera mode and pausing the game, no slow downs, probably not loading or LOD issue.

Then I chose Pigeon, smooth 72 fps while driving.
Then the Moonhawk (old muscle car) after it loads the fps goes to about 30 and slowly comes back up do 72, until I start moving, then fps goes back down and I noticed that the GPU usage was actually going down while moving, down to 26%, at the same time 1 of the cpu cores stayed above 90% usage. And like before when I stop the car the fps slowly goes back up.

I was trying to driver the Subaru clone (rally) and is the same fps hit when moving like the old muscle car (moonhawk I think)
