I have an i5 and 6 gigs of ram and I get about 30fps on gridmap with everything at the lowest settings. Kind of a shitfest but it works
Well, I don’t know if it’s my 240 Hz monitor or my PC, but I get over 120 FPS on all maps with an i7 and 32 gigs, so i5 and 8 gigs RAM should be fine.. It also depends on your GPU ok I built another computer but it still works fine
Bit late posting now, but I have an i5 2500 non-K 4C/4T, 8GB DDR3, and a GTX 1060 6GB. BeamNG runs alright at 1080p 60Hz, so long as I limit the number of vehicles to two or three. I do get RAM warnings, but that doesn't matter. If I see a 2 x 8GB DDR3 kit on sale for not much I might well go for it.
Is it UHD graphics? If yes, the "Low" preset should be good but if its only HD graphics you have to go "Lowest" if you really want a smooth experience. 8 GB is still the minimum so you should be fine. i5-H is also recommended but to me it doesn't matter since its still an i5 though.
I looked up your cpu and it turns out it only has 2 cores and 4 threads To get rid of the issue/warning, your cpu needs to have at lease 4 cores and 8 threads. I'm not sure with 4 cores and 4 threads because that kind of cpu is pretty rare.
