    Some people, including me, have AMD processers and video cards. I only got a AMD A4-6210 APU as a processer and a AMD Radeon R3 graphics card which has a processing speed of 1.80 GHz's. I would like the next update to have this please.

    Certainly better optimization is coming, but fact is your hardware is really weak, it would struggle with any new 3D game, so it's an unrealistic expectation to ask that the game suddenly run on hardware that is on the “low end” system requirements (I can't link the requirements page, the wiki is down)

    So the developers are not avoiding AMD optimization, it's just that that hardware is too weak, AMD or not, to run the game smoothly.

    My advice is not even to try to run the game on that hardware. My brother had the A6-6400K (way faster than the A4-6210, but still garbage), and he couldn't even get 20FPS on the lowest settings. Definitely not an enjoyable experience.

    Don't run it on that hardware or run it on very low settings, I have quad core at 3.4Ghz and it still runs slow at times, the optimizations are coming but dont expect it to run on that hardware.

    I can run it on medium with occasional lag spikes. I have 4 gigabites of ram and a Windows 10 OS.

    So, I guess, just some support for the AMD processer branch.

    AMD processors have some issues running BeamNG because of the CPU architecture

    AMD processors by nature have less IPC, meaning their single core performance is really weak. An Intel processor with 2 cores at 3.5GHz will outperform an AMD processor with 2 cores at 3.5GHz very easily.

    AMD Radeon R3 GPUs are the lowest performance series GPUs that AMD sells (i didn't even know the R3 series existed), and that APU isn't meant to play anything recent at even medium settings. AMD GPUs work just fine with the game, but you need at least an R7 series (recommend at least a 260/360) to play it decently.


    TL;DR: Your hardware is very low-end and even if BeamNG was more optimized, I wouldn't have high hopes for your hardware setup to play this game decently.

    Normally, all my problems is just with some low FPS rates. I don't really have any other problems than that.

    Well, I did have a laptop which had an Intel processer. Is there a way for me to replace my current processer with that one?

    Besides, at medium settings, I get normally 15 FPS, with I am okay with.

    Its nothing to do with AMD optimisation. A low end processor of that level from Intel would be equally bad. Same can be said with the GPU. You just have a very low performance computer.

    Unfortunately laptops do not offer similar customization as a desktop computer. In almost all cases. the CPU is soldered to the motherboard (a big circuit board that all PC components hook up to) so it isn't removable. Additionally, motherboards have what is known as a CPU socket, which is what the CPU hooks up to. Each generation and brand of CPU uses a different socket, so even if you could remove your CPU, you'd be limited to AMD processors of the same or similar generation.

    So, if I want a new processor, I'll need a new motherboard?

    Does anyone know of a good AMD processor for my computer for a cheap price or downloadable?

    specs:
    Asus X3 Notebook
    Ram: 6.00GB 5.89 Usable
    System Type: x64-bit, x64-based processor
    It's a laptop.

    Like Spaceballs said, it is different from desktops.

    You can defiantly get a computer that can run BeamNG well for under $2000... just saying.
