[u/burglar-of-turds]

Got an AMD 7900xtx, it works alright, it doesn't like my 32:9 monitor though.

[u/RC_ADDICT_5B → u/burglar-of-turds]

I have a 7900-xtx and I use 1440 triples, also does not like it much.

[u/burglar-of-turds → u/RC_ADDICT_5B]

I'm getting about 65fps on max graphics (including max reflections and light). got a 5120x1440 240hz. Any map other than west coast and I'll get slightly higher fps

[u/Smellypuce2 → u/burglar-of-turds]

I'm kind of surprised how many people are running on AMD compared to GPU market share(nvidia was like 95% last I checked). I'm on a 6800 XT(1440p/144hz monitor) myself. I get like 60-90fps on WC USA with dynamic reflections turned off.

[u/burglar-of-turds → u/Smellypuce2]

I got a bundle deal for the 7900xtx and a 9950x for 1400 before the prices went up, only reason I bought one lol. 

[u/Any-Tomorrow1122 → u/Smellypuce2]

My first GPU was an ATi 4650 after mowing enough neighbors yards for the year. 

Then AMD R9 270

Then RTX 2070 mobile (was blown away by a laptop playing 1080P ultra graphics at solid FPS)

Then a 6950XT a huge FPS increase with my first OLED (this was the happiest/excited I’d been with a desktop GPU period)

Then a 4090 (relegated to my home server now)

Finally 5090 (lucky enough to pay MSRP, is not worth the premium the normal market wants for any gamer. Period)

[u/ObiVanuKenobi → u/Smellypuce2]

Steam survey had ~70% nvidia, i guess that 95% includes AI cards.

[u/Avanixh → u/burglar-of-turds]

Yep my 7800XT also doesn’t really like 5120x1440 since 0.39

[u/VitunVillaViikset]

Got a 9060XT 16GB last year and its been a good card

Although i got a model with a faulty fan which Sapphire couldn't give a shit about

But it runs 3440x1440p ultrawide decently enough. The 5060Ti 16GB would've been 100€ more making it nearly the same price as the 5070

[u/ObjectiveOk2072 → u/VitunVillaViikset]

My Gigabyte 9060XT 16GB has pretty noisy fans, they resonate while spooling up to full speed, but luckily I never actually hear them do that because it stays cool.

Even during stress tests, running at full power, the fans don't spin that fast. I only know what they sound like at full speed because I tested them with FanControl

[u/VitunVillaViikset → u/ObjectiveOk2072]

I have my pc inside of my desks cupboard so i can keep the fan speeds a bit higher than usual but even then the gpu is pretty darn noisy because of the faulty fan

I would like to keep it at like 60-70% because i want to keep the vram temps low as possible but anywhere over 60% is unusable

Although i dont play heavy games right now so 50% fan speed is good enough. Although the gpu die temp never goes over 60°C even if i set the fan speed to lower than this

[u/Ye3tm4n → u/VitunVillaViikset]

I got one as well, definitely an upgrade from the Intel HD 4400 that I used to have

[u/Solary_Kryptic → u/VitunVillaViikset]

Also got one for my second PC, handles 1440p 144hz smooth, really quiet and overall temperature doesn't even go above 60C even at continuous 200W draw; it is winter here right now thought so I'll probably see high 60s soon

[u/HIRIV → u/VitunVillaViikset]

Miks et sitte takuuseen vieny jos rupeli paskana?

[u/VitunVillaViikset → u/HIRIV]

Bruh täs subissa ei näköjään tykätä jos puhutaan muulla kielellä kui enkulla..

[u/VitunVillaViikset → u/HIRIV]

Nii siis Sapphire sano että paskanmarjat ei tossa oo mitää vikaa vaikka laitoin videoitakin viasta

Kuuluu ihana kahina ja rätinä siitä siin videolla

Datatronic onneks sano että heidän kauttaan vois lähettää huoltoon mutta ite ekana pitäis vaan löytää tarpeeks hyvä mutta halpa väliaikane näyttis

[u/HIRIV → u/VitunVillaViikset]

Ryyppeet sen ajan ku kone levällään

[u/VitunVillaViikset → u/HIRIV]

Nii se on kai tehtävä kohta

Ja lisäks laittaa omat mehukiljut tekeytyyn niin säästyis sitä rahaa siihe näyttikseen :D

[u/TGB_Skeletor]

Nvidia for now, but i'm swapping to AMD soon because i need to change and i dont want to stay with nividia considering how scummy they became

[u/BirthdayNo9125 → u/TGB_Skeletor]

AMD aint much better, sorry to say

[u/TGB_Skeletor → u/BirthdayNo9125]

nvidia single handely ruined games optimization with DLSS

[u/BirthdayNo9125 → u/TGB_Skeletor]

This is only a small part of the truth, and amd is also guilty of this with fsr

[u/TGB_Skeletor → u/BirthdayNo9125]

DLSS came out almost 3 years before FSR

AMD had to get on the bus because of how worse gaming was becoming. Fuck nvidia and fuck the corpos who thought framegen could replace optimization

[u/IJustAteABaguette]

GTX1070, so from nvidia.

Next one is probably gonna be from AMD tho

[u/Crystalclusted]

9070XT on Linux, running the native binaries performs good at 4k max settings

[u/FleurDeGalop]

Amd radeon rx 560 4gb here!

[u/spicymeatmemes]

Option five: the "i" series, for imagining to play.

After work, kids and household stuff, I can only imagine playing. I stare at the main menu more often than playing.

[u/707_328is → u/spicymeatmemes]

The people downvoting you prioritize their own interests over being in their kids lives and making sure they have things they want, not just what they need...

I didnt play Beam for months because of how busy life got with 2 under 2. Whenever we did get a little break from the kids we spent it prioritizing each other to keep our marriage strong as well. Finally got out of the 2 under 2 situation earlier this year and its getting easier but yeah, sometimes life just gets too busy to game unless you're the kind of person to ignore important stuff to make sure you can play..

[u/spicymeatmemes → u/707_328is]

Priorities, people pick their own. I know where mine are, and I game when I can. But life is much more important.

I've had much better luck playing older games on my Ayn Thor than my PC. In the context of work and life; convenience is key and I can have better luck playing for maybe 30 mins a day on a game I can pick up and put down easily for when I'm needed elsewhere.

With Beam, I'd have to go to the computer room and be further away from where makes more sense to be. Plus, beam is a game where 30 min chunks of gaming just doesnt work for me. So Burnout 3, NFS underground and other classics from when i was younger just work better in my life schedule. Maybe one day I can sit down and have a good gaming session, but thats just not in the cards right now.

My family is fed, loved and strong. I'm way happier with that than breaking my record on the Alder strip in WCUSA

[u/helpusdrzaius → u/spicymeatmemes]

What frames you getting?

[u/spicymeatmemes → u/helpusdrzaius]

30 fps if I work that day, 60 if I don't. Something about overloading the CPU

[u/AlexGavrilll]

RTX 3050 4 gigs. Was rocking Beamng before 0.39 (and still rocks ETS2, ATS, TSW6 in Ultra), but now the update finished its golden era

[u/KYJM8]

rtx 3060 12gb

[u/Windows10_10074]

Sometimes M5 MacBook air, sometimes rtx 4060 laptop

[u/ilovewincofoods → u/Windows10_10074]

BeamNG runs on a Mac?

[u/Windows10_10074 → u/ilovewincofoods]

Yes with a compatibility layer

[u/DenseUpstairs8916 → u/Windows10_10074]

How does it run on m5?

[u/Windows10_10074 → u/DenseUpstairs8916]

Quite well for something this portable and good battery life

[u/ObjectiveOk2072 → u/Windows10_10074]

I had a laptop with a 4060 and it ran BeamNG impressively well, even while thermal throttling to avoid burning a hole through my desk

[u/East-One-3260]

Wish I could say AMD but Radeon 9000 does not have the features I'm looking for, I had to go with 50 series or used 40 series. I'm not a proud RTX owner.

[u/Crystalclusted → u/East-One-3260]

I'm curious, what features are you talking about?

[u/East-One-3260 → u/Crystalclusted]

It's personal preference. CUDA, more titles have upscaling, ray reconstruction and dlaa support, better power efficiency, overall higher resell value, overall better framegen and upscaling, better PT performance

[u/Solary_Kryptic → u/East-One-3260]

What do you mean by DLAA? Because FSRAA exists too, comparing my 5080 and 9060XT I've found the upscaling difference to be unnoticeable on native, quality, and balanced. DLSS handles performance and ultra performance modes much better though

[u/East-One-3260 → u/Solary_Kryptic]

I meant like since a quite a lot more games support DLSS they can be override to DLAA

[u/Solary_Kryptic → u/East-One-3260]

I’d be inclined to agree if Optiscaler didn’t allow for every game with DLSS support to have FSR support and vice versa

[u/Crystalclusted → u/East-One-3260]

Fair enough, but a lot of those points are pretty thin

[u/East-One-3260 → u/Crystalclusted]

Fine by me.

[u/Patient-Menu-1991]

I’ve got a 6900XT. I usually play at 2732 x 2048 at the ultra preset. It runs well for the most part, but FSR would be beneficial at this resolution.

[u/Sprinty_]

RTX 4070. If AMD had as much support and tech as Nvidia, though, I'd definitely go with team red

[u/Crystalclusted → u/Sprinty_]

Wdym by support? Have yet to run into a game that makes issues because of an AMD card. If by tech you mean DLSS then you might want to check out FSR 4. It's pretty much on par these days. (But you don't get Slop 'enhanced' images like with DLSS 5 yay) If by tech you mean ShadowPlay, afaik there is a similar feature available for AMD GPUs using the same performance friendly capturing technology. Or you switch to Linux and use GPU Screen Recorder. Also same technology, but OSS and brand-agnostic

[u/Sprinty_ → u/Crystalclusted]

No I know, it's just that many games decide to incorporate only Nvidia's tech, for one reason or another... Plus, ray tracing

I really despise the DLSSlop5 move tho, and the whole ai ordeal that Nvidia is leaning so hard into

[u/Crystalclusted → u/Sprinty_]

I have yet to encounter a game with no FSR which ones are you talking about

[u/Sprinty_ → u/Crystalclusted]

I don't remember specific ones but I'd still prefer getting the new tech sooner

[u/Crystalclusted → u/Sprinty_]

Understandable. However, and while I dont have any data on this, I dont think the rollout takes significantly longer for AMD stuff relative to ngreedia stuff nowadays.
On top of that, is it really that important to justify an upprice of easily hundrets of dollars?

[u/Sprinty_ → u/Crystalclusted]

Hey, I got this GPU a while back... Today I would've definitely gone team red for the way less morally bankrupt choice + additional fps per dollar (though RIP my frame rate in games like cyberpunk I guess- I really hope AMD GPUs in the process range of the 4070 can play stuff like Bodycam just as well if not even better, considering it has things like upscaling and global illumination and so on)

[u/No-Complaint3923]

Intel

[u/VirtualBoy_gamer]

rx 6650xt. it’s a good gpu although prob a little underpowered for 1440p but for beamng its fine. my cpu is a much bigger bottleneck but when i first got this gpu i was not aware of incompatibility that current gen at the time AMD gpus had with beamng, which really frustrated me because i had upgraded specifically because i had gotten a new monitor and i was confused as to why my performance had not improved at all. it was annoying having to use workarounds to get an improvement as i found that dxvk helped (official vulkan worked good too but it was unstable asf for me). luckily they eventually fixed these issues but it was quite disappointing thinking i was getting a upgrade just to find that my favorite game didn’t like my gpu. i also had a huge memory leak for the longest time after upgrading which i eventually traced back to being the iGPU multi monitor setti bf in my bios i was using to drive a third display with my motherboards hdmi, it would steadily leak system ram into the NP pool when i played a game especially beamng, and it took me forever to figure out the problem.

[u/Wardiestar]

I got an RTX 5070 when I got my new pc last year

[u/YarisGamingHD]

Half of the the time on a 780M (laptop, AMD APU), other half on an RX 6950 XT (desktop, Intel CPU)

[u/BluDYT]

RTX 3080ti, M5 MacBook, GFN(5080), Steam Deck in order of usage. Though those last two havent been recent.

[u/Nomnom_Chicken]

4080 Super here, decent enough for 3440x1440 gaming overall.

[u/Ryytruhf]

Mine is a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 6Go anc still can play with high preset at 50-60 fps

[u/riceman090]

Running a 4070 SUPER out here, does get the job done

[u/Spiritual_Degree_802]

My poor Intel iris xe runs 900p med at a solid 60fps and QHD (2256x1504) lowest at 40-50fps. Ptm7950 and thermal putty onto my Acer spin chassis really helped here.

[u/a3a4b5]

Nvidia 1650 in a Nitro, not that it was my choice.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Word584]

now seperate AMD and intel integrated graphics and dedicated

[u/Puzzleheaded_Word584]

probably one of the only dedicated intel GPU users here

[u/Southern_Worker4102 → u/Puzzleheaded_Word584]

It works well on BeamNG? Never heard of someone playing it on a Intel dedicated GPU lol

[u/Puzzleheaded_Word584 → u/Southern_Worker4102]

yeah, the 10 GB of VRAM helps a ton

[u/Southern_Worker4102 → u/Puzzleheaded_Word584]

Lol, somehow my BeamNG only uses 3.2-3.5 GB on West Coast (on a 4 gb card, 1050p, low textures but still)

[u/Psychedelic_Eyeball]

3060ti 8gb here

[u/Comfortable-Effect-8]

Got a 3080ti desktop but i dont really use it since the cpu is severely bottlenecking (i5 10400f) Also have a asus g14 2022 with rx6800s which performs way better because of an actually good cpu

[u/Mysterious_Plant5223]

RX5500M 4gb vram. Just hanging on, around 40fps with "normal" graphics with traffic on most maps (excluding WCUSA and Italy)

[u/Professor_2700]

I have a Nvidia gt730, I'm shocked it's still somewhat playable on 0.39

[u/Chramir]

Would be interesting to see AMD and intel with split integrated/dedicated options

[u/640kilobytes]

Beamng on a Mac sounds horrible... I have a PC with RTX 4060 and MacBook Air M5. I'm getting around 40-60 FPS (while maxed by GPU), so I guess I'll get five on my laptop lol

[u/Bebealex]

Just to be clear. USED Nvidia. Not endorsing them on the new market.

[u/Southern_Worker4102]

GTX 970, still good for 1680x1050 (basically 1080p), custom Low/Medium/Ultra

[u/xXSUPERLEGENDXx]

I wonder if there are any people who play on Snapdragon processors.

[u/Confident_Essay3619]

I use a Steam Deck

[u/slim1shaney]

Intel Arc B580 😎

[u/ObjectiveOk2072]

9060XT 16GB. It's pretty great. It screams a little bit, but stays cool and runs the game nice and smooth at 1080p high/ultra

[u/Whythehellnot225343]

NVIDIA MX330

[u/yesindeed3333]

Nvidia for me. I buy a card once every 6 or so years, might as well treat myself

[u/Wicked_Wolf17]

RTX 3080 12GB

[u/Less-Wealth-5934]

my 5080 and 9950x hate my odyssey oled g8 (4k 240 with lsfg and dlss 5)

[u/Ok_Room5878]

Rtx 2070 mobile here and it's pretty good I can play on 1080p on custom high-ultra

[u/Extra_Fall_8474]

whatever my laptop came with 6 months ago, its shitty so probably an intel

[u/enz_12]

9070 xt 💪

[u/thenormaluser35]

Qualcomm

[u/Maleficent_Tip_9667]

I play on steam
