Is this normal performance for my hardwear?

I uploaded a video of the performance that i'm getting to Youtube, because I suck at describing stuff like this. Figured it was the easiest way.

Timestamps so you don't have to watch the whole thing;
Game Loads 2:40
Bus: 5:44
I'm averaging at about 20fps usually on gridmap. Capturing software is shit so for some reason its slideshow status. This is all on lowest settings.
Specs
AMD FX-8800P Radeon R7, 12 Cores 2.10 Ghz
16gb ram

 

Yes, your GPU is not great.

 

Alright, so if i was to build a pc, (mainly for beam.ng) in the 700-800 CANADIAN dollar range (550-650 usd) what should i be building? is gpu or cpu more important for beam?

 

With Beam, it's heavy on CPU and GPU both, so I'd go with a Ryzen 5 3600 and an RTX 2060/Vega 56.

 

Would 8gb of ram be acceptable for a start to keep costs low?

 

I think at least 16 GB would probably be better, as 16 GB is what I'm going to get. I mean, some map mods require 8 GB.

 

alright, thanks
