    Hi Community,

    BeamNG-Drive released on Steam now and I´m gonna buy it, if my hardware is good enough.

    So here it is:

    -Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz

    -AMD Radeon HD 7600M Series Dedicated Memory 2.1 GB

    -Microsoft Windows 8 (build 9200), 64-bit


    And 6GB RAM

    Hope thats enough...

    You could build you own for cheaper and with better specs.

    The graphics card on that PC is terrible. You can get way better parts for the price. Build your own PC, it is very easy even if you have never done it before.

    I think people get scared away from building their own pcs due to how delicate and precise everything looks. In all honesty it's basically expensive lego, the pc parts are pretty robust (but don't static them) and will only fit certain slots (you will find it very hard to put components in the wrong places, even PSU cables are labelled and have safety features to stop you shoving them into the incorrect places). Have a look at some 10 min tutorials on youtube and learn to build a computer, they are pretty much identical, it's a handy information to know (if something goes wrong, upgrading, replacing parts etc.) The computer you have linked will stand little to no chance playing BeamNG (or any game for that matter). I highly recommend you build a computer yourself, besides, it's fun. :)

    Here's a build, for the same price, that can actually play games. It's got a good CPU and the graphics card is one of the best around. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mzLj99

    This, however I'd go down to a 2GB EVGA SuperSC GTX960 and use the extra money to go with a i5-4670k and a GA-Z97-HD3. I personally run that but with a 760 and 2 kits of similar RAM and I can play on the High preset fine.

    Also to OP pick your own case and do adequate research so you don't buy a bad case.

    A 4690K will perform better in Beam, but the performance gap between a 960 and a 970 is huge. As a gaming rig in general, 8320/970 is much more powerful.

    Again, like Nadeox said, you should try the tech demo to see if you can run it. It's free and not so large of a download, and it'll for sure tell you if you can run the game.

    well, im over here with my shtoopid Toshiba satellite that only has 4 gigs of RAM, and it runs fine as long as I don't spawn more than one vehicle on the same map. the best ones are Gridmap and the big, fat, dangerous, but also really fun, cliff.

    RAM != CPU power
