    So currently I've been on kind of a kick to upgrade my computer as much as I can, my new 6TB hard drive has just arrived, and now I'm saving up for a graphics card, and I've just seen MuYe's video on the 0.30 update, and it looks to me that he's running on absolute max quality graphics. So I'm wondering what would be the best upgrades to run beamng on max graphics at 60+ fps

    If by 'Max settings' you mean every single slider maxed out and every box checked, then you'll want at minimum an RTX 3060 or an RX 6700 XT. That would give you around 60fps at 1080p. Then again, YMMV when it comes to what map you are playing on and what mods are installed.

    You haven't said what CPU or how much RAM you have which is important if you want to run multiple cars at one time.

    I'd recommend getting something above my specs (Intel Core i9-12900k, Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti + Nividia GTX 1650, 96GB RAM, 3.5TB Storage), I get an average of around 60 FPS on max everything (with ReShade and traffic, 12 cars usually drops it a few) on most maps.

    These are some useful sites you can use.
    This site compares GPUs and CPUs - https://www.gpucheck.com/en-usd/com...900k-vs-intel-core-i9-12900k/ultra/ultra/-vs-
    This one calculates bottlenecks, which you should use if you're deciding between CPUs or GPUs (or to check after you've decided) - https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator/result/1c91dN/1/general-tasks/1920x1080/

    It depends entirely on your budget and other system specs, usually you get the best gpu your money can buy and pair it with a cpu that won't bottleneck it, i would also suggest gaming at least in 2K resolution since it's a lot better than 1080p especially if you have a bigger monitor (Muye plays in 4k afaik)

    Bro you listed the two absolute worst sites. Those are 100% bullshit

    Also your PC is all over the place, why two GPUs and that much RAM? Is it even running at XMP speeds?

    Didn't know that, they were both pretty accurate for my use (showing that I needed to use 4k to get past the cpu bottleneck, which helped). Also, the FPS estimate was right on the money. Are there any better sites for this?

    For the ram, I already had 32 (2x 16s), and just bought the 64 (2x 32s). The other GPU was originally from a bitcoin mining PC, decided to toss it in just because. Ram was just tossed in, worked for me so far, didn't know they weren't funning at their full potential (will sort that today, thanks for the heads-up).

    Exactly I run max graphics with a 3080ti+i7 12700kf and my performance is great at 1440p, heck I can even go
    to 4K

    System:
    i7 12700KF
    RTX 3080Ti
    64GB DDR5 Ram
    Z690 Motherboard (ASUS ROG)
    850 Watt PSU
    NZXT H7 Flow

    Smokey Donkey, you have the brain of a donkey I mean a 12900k is stupid also 2 gpus is downright a waste and stupid

    I'll toss in another GPU, just for you. Pretty sure this board has the capability to hold four.

    On a more serious note, chill out. No need to be slinging insults around. Just a crappy thing to do.

    Yo Bro that was not me I let my little brother onto my beamng forum account and he is kind of disobedient. sorry man.

    P.S. he keeps on spamming forums also

    Also he will brag that my pc is his to his friend so when I tell his friends it is mine my brother will hit me in the nuts.:D:D:D

    Again, Sorry.

    2x GPUs makes zero sense because neither of them actually support SLI. Not only that, but the motherboard will be too new to even support multi GPU setups.

    It’s like glueing a VTEC engine to the roof of a Ferrari and hoping it will run faster. If anything, it might actually run SLOWER and cause issues.

    Also 96 Gb RAM is a complete waste unless you are doing professional video editing for clients. You could’ve bought a better graphics card instead.

    i had a friend who did this mainly for 3d rendering and gaming but i cant wrap my head around having 2 gpus.
    could just give away the 1650

    'just buy a better GPU' is the same as 'just buy a faster car'. That costs money, and lots of it (and I wasn't willing to spend over 1k). No real change in performance (and definitely no slowdowns, luckily). I do wonder if the better stability is purely coincidental (zero crashing at a higher overclock where it previously frequently crashed). For the 96 gb of ram, I already had 32, but decided to get 64 (was going to move the 32 to a bitcoin miner, but never did).

    The GPUs? No. The 1650 was given to me by a family member (who had multiple on his bitcoin miner) as a starter GPU for this PC. It was only a few months later that I got the 4070ti. For the ram? also no. Already had 32 but decided to get 64 (was going to move the 32 to a bitcoin miner of my own, but never did).

    If you read my comment, you'd see I was referring to the fact that you could've saved the money from the pointless 64 Gb RAM upgrade towards a better graphics card. Not only that, but the added sum of selling your 1650 (which is also pointless in your computer) would've got you more money still.

    The main issue is that your computer is completely unbalanced and not a great starting point for maxing out BeamNG (which was the original point of this thread)

    To be fair, I didn't recommend my specs, I mentioned something above it would be best ('I'd recommend getting something above my specs:', although, they do allow me to max out BeamNG still). The RAM upgrade (which actually came after the GPU if I remember correctly) did improve loading times slightly, and the 1650s (there were multiple) weren't selling, which is why one was given to me for free. I figured out that I would need a better GPU (and CPU) about a month after the original post. Probably won't do so until the next generation of GPUs (since the previous generations prices will drop). Of course, this thing's far from perfect, fully aware, I'll try to balance it out more over time.
