BeamNG issues
I'm sharing this because BeamNG's forum appears to lack understanding of the problem. I just upgraded my system recently—switched from a 6c/12t 2.6ghz Xeon X5650 to a Ryzen 5 3600XT. I also updated to ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution and Gigabyte Aorus AX370 Gaming with the latest BIOS. The specs are: Intel Xeon X5650 vs AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT, 14GB DDR3 at 1333Mhz, and a Geil Orion RGB 3200Mhz CL16.
The issue is clear—I expected a larger boost in FPS, but only a modest gain of 10-15 frames. For instance, driving from Garage to Garage Italy, the Xeon gave 30-35fps at max 1080p, while the Ryzen delivered 40-45. On East Coast USA with eight cars, performance jumped from around 70 to 80-85. Even with similar maps and configurations, most games saw a huge improvement in speed or stability except for BeamNG. My setup runs on an SSD (HDD/SSD didn’t help much), uses an 1070Ti with 650W PSU, has an AMD stock cooler but stays under 70°C, Windows 10 Enterprise, and three different NVIDIA drivers. Minimum settings at 1080p rose from about 160fps to 190.
A friend with a 2013/14 Xeon and HD7770 16GB DDR3 has the same FPS as me (8 cars, 45-50fps) and one car hovers around 70.
