    Its not as good as the 580. it is cheaper by about half the price but by the specs im looking at my 580 is still better in every way besides the price.

    How well do you think it could run BeamNG?

    Maybe it could on very low settings.

    if you get the 2gb you can get some good fps on low settings but if you go for the 550 get the 4gb for smoother gameplay

    it says it can get 110 fps on low settings at 1080p and about 80 fps on medium setting at 1080p

    in that case get the 550 2gb or even the 4gb version. and of those would be sooo much better than the old 450

    btw what core are you running?

    Yeah, I know it's old, but it's not bad.

    you might need to replace that too soon lol. i recommend a AMD core. like a 4-5 gen would be a great upgrade

    ok so it is a bit older but it looks like it can run some things well, if you where to upgrade anything i would recommend at least the cpu and/or ram

    It would help speed things up a bit but not much, that and it is silent because it doesn't have a disc inside it spinning.
