Straight from Speccy: Operating System Windows 10 Home 64-bit CPU Intel Core i7 @ 3.70GHz 54 °C Coffee Lake 14nm Technology RAM 16.0GB Dual-Channel Unknown @ 1333MHz (16-18-18-38) Motherboard EVGA INTERNATIONAL CO.LTD 121-KS-E375 (U3E1) 56 °C Graphics ASUS VE278 (1920x1080@60Hz) 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 (EVGA) 74 °C Storage 465GB Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB (SATA (SSD)) 42 °C If I wanted to go further, what you recommend? Would a 1080Ti make a big difference? More RAM?
You need faster DDR4 RAM, you should also check if your CPU would perform better with quad-channel RAM. If your CPU can be overclocked that would probably help a fair bit. Your GPU should be suficcent in 1920x1080, at 2560x1440 or 3840x2160 a GTX 1080ti is a must, i noticed huge improvement when i swapped my GTX 1080 for a GTX 1080ti. I play most modern games in 4K 3840x2160 at a steady 60FPS.
GPU won't make a difference, I think that anything after gtx1070 or gtx1070Ti is pretty much the same if playing with 60Hz monitor that is. Faster CPU always helps, there is no such thing than too fast CPU in BeamNG, so overclocking might be what you need to do to get more speed. I guess you have something like 8700K? 9900K would be faster, especially when overclocked so that you can get SC gains as well as extra cores. More ram can help, but it is not certain, after all game does not use more than 16GB, but there can still be small performance gains that hardly can be noticed. Optimizing operating system and other software helps big time. Making sure your motherboard's VRM is not getting too hot is then also improvement in performance as clocks will not drop and there is just too many motherboards with weak VRM these days, can't take full load and keep up max turbo clocks. Also making sure your CPU stays within power limits when having full load helps to keep turbo clocks up, lowering Vcore to lowest CPU will work reliably will help with that. Defaults give too much voltage and make VRM as well as CPU run hot / going above power limits and then CPU drops to base clock instead of using turbo clocks. Overclocking then helps a lot with single core performance when using all cores, which even today I found being bit too little with 8086K running stock clocks of 4.3Ghz.
Are you using Speccy? Speccy might have several problems while detecting your amount of VRAM. (P.S. a typical GTX 1080 has 8GB/8192MB of VRAM installed)
