Alpha Performance Tweaker 1.5.0

PERFORMANCE TWEAKER

BeamNG can become demanding when running detailed environments, reflections, lighting and multiple traffic vehicles, especially with the 0.39 update.

Performance Tweaker automatically reduces unnecessary CPU and GPU workload whenever performance falls below its 50 FPS target.

When performance recovers, the mod gradually restores the original graphical quality. FPS remains completely uncapped.

This is an automatic performance-optimization mod. It does not permanently change your graphics or traffic settings.

⇨ How Does It Work?

Above 50 FPS, Performance Tweaker keeps the player’s selected graphical quality unless repeated frame-time spikes are detected.

Below 50 FPS, the mod progressively activates stronger optimization levels.

These changes are gradually reversed when enough performance becomes available again, helping prevent constant quality switching and additional stuttering.

CPU and GPU frame times are monitored independently, allowing the mod to apply optimizations only where they are needed.

⇨ Main Features
Automatic Performance Optimization

• 
  
  • Fully automatic and install-and-play
  • No GUI, configuration or keybinds
  • Uses a minimum performance target of 50 FPS
  • FPS remains completely uncapped
  • Monitors CPU and GPU frame times independently
  • Progressively activates stronger optimizations as performance decreases
  • Gradually restores graphical quality when performance recovers
  • Helps prevent constant quality switching and additional stuttering

Graphics Optimization

• 
  
  • Progressively optimizes reflections and mirrors
  • Adjusts distant mesh detail, vegetation and decals
  • Reduces expensive local lights and secondary shadows
  • Disables screen-space shadows and SSAO only under severe GPU pressure
  • Does not change resolution, anti-aliasing or texture quality
  • Visible graphical reductions are only applied when additional performance is required

Traffic Optimization

• • Uses simplified traffic vehicles to reduce rendering and physics load
  • Reduces unnecessary tracking for distant and invisible traffic
  • Temporarily pools a limited number of safe, distant traffic vehicles during heavy CPU load
  • Protects nearby and visible traffic vehicles
  • Protects police, crashed and special traffic vehicles
  • Automatically restores pooled traffic vehicles when enough performance becomes available

Compatibility

• • Works automatically on low-end, mid-range and high-end PCs
  • Does not permanently change graphics settings
  • Does not permanently change traffic settings
  • Requires no additional configuration after installation

⇨ Important Information

Performance Tweaker cannot guarantee 50 FPS on every system.

Results depend on the map, vehicle complexity, traffic amount, hardware, renderer, other installed mods and BeamNG’s vehicle physics.

Visible graphical reductions can occur during heavy CPU or GPU load. The strongest changes are only used when the game is struggling significantly.

Performance may also be limited by situations that the mod cannot fully optimize, such as highly complex vehicles, demanding maps or an excessive number of active traffic vehicles.

⇨ Recommended NVIDIA Setting

I strongly recommend enabling Smooth Motion for BeamNG in the NVIDIA App:

NVIDIA App ➜ Graphics ➜ BeamNG.drive ➜ Smooth Motion


Smooth Motion is available for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series and RTX 50 Series GPUs.

This recommendation can be ignored when using an older or unsupported GPU.

⇨ Feedback and Suggestions

Feedback and suggestions are always welcome.

When reporting performance issues, or when you do not see or feel any noticeable changes, please include the following information:

• CPU
• GPU
• Renderer (DX11, DX12, Vulkan)
• Map
• Traffic amount
• Approximate FPS before and after the mod activates

⇨ Installation

Place the ZIP file directly inside your BeamNG mods folder and leave it zipped.

Restart BeamNG and make sure the mod is enabled in the Mod Manager.

The mod will start automatically.

No additional configuration, files or dependencies are required.
