Will My Computer Be Able To Run This Game?

My computer is a cheap computer (too poor for a better one), I really want this game and I was wondering, will my computer run this game?
Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.30GHz
2GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT (gigabyte fan-less)
(Extremely optimized)
I have ran other games that require higher specs than my computer has. But this game looks a lot more intensive on a computer than other games. Can provide more information if needed.
Please, no hate for shitty computer...

 

Sorry to say dude, but those specs just won't cut it. Especially the ram and your gpu.

As you can see here, if you upgraded your PC's ram and gpu to these specs, it may run, but not well.

 

Maybe the tech demo only but other than that not a chance....

 

It wont even launch the game. Your GPU is obsolete as of 8 or 9 years ago and doesnt support either DirectX 10 or 11, required for BeamNG, that and its so weak it wont run the game if it did support DX10 or 11 anyway.
CPU is ok for 1 or 2 vehicles, but you really need a new GPU.

 

The thing is, if I touch my ram my pc wont boot. Not matter what ram it is, my pc wont boot, even after putting in the ram I had before it doesnt boot for a while.

The demo runs fine, with chrome(few tabs) and another game running in the background and my ram usage only goes to

Im guessing its one car one core?

I can run other games with slightly higher specs than BeamNG.Drive with a stable 40 fps, they can be extremely unstable as well.
(Sorry if its messy, I don't really use forums that much)

 

Yes its one car per core, and full game BeamNG can easily use 4gb or more of RAM on its own so your 2gb is not enough.

 

You could upgrade your GPU to a Radeon 5770 and add another 2 GB of ram. Make sure your RAM is in the right channels and is pushed in the socket making the tabs automatically go down to secure it. The Radeon 5770 is around 14-50 bucks on Ebay. Depending on what type of RAM your motherboard supports (DDR2, or 3, and most likely not 4), you could find some cheap 2 GB stick of RAM for a low price as well. I don't want to be that one guy who asks everyone to upgrade for some ridiculous price.

 

If I touch my ram, it kills my computer and prevents it from booting. Let that be, taking it out and putting it back in, replacing it, upgrading, anything. My computer just gets stuck on the bios screen and I can't do anything, it just gets stuck, even pressing the power button doesn't do anything. I have asked many people why this happens and no one knows why, I think the company I got this computer from did something to it to prevent ram upgrades.
Anyway, i'll go on with my day and have this post deleted, as it has wasted everyone's time.

 

I don't think its a waste of time, im suggesting you options to upgrade your computer. Don't become butthurt just because someone has tried to help. You only said adding RAM would prevent your computer from booting. Then you bash me because of information I did not know. If I had of known that adding anything to your computer prevents any boot ups, maybe I would have suggested something else.

 

This is a forum, posts don't get deleted for "wasting people's time." In all honesty, I think that you should build a new computer for gaming, if you plan to get into PCMR.

 

People always jump to "Just upgrade your computer" or "Just buy/build a new computer". Only if it was that easy as going and buying a new computer, if I had the money, I would but i'm living the low class life and money just doesn't come out of my ass. I don't even have the money to get beamng.drive, I have been hoping it would go on special for the past month... Just, ignore this post as i'm sick of not being able to most games...

 

You WILL need atleast 4gb~6gb of memory to run this game properly. It may not launch at all with less than 4gb - or may launch but not run a level. If your PC does not like more ram installed, chances are you have a bad or dusty socket, or the bios information conflicts.
Remove the bios battery if your machine doesn't boot and wait a few moments with the power unplugged, if it's an HP or dell slimline, chances are it may be getting cranky and demand to have the bios reset. When doing a ram upgrade, it may be worthwhile to buy a 2x 4gb kit (8gb), of 1333mhz memory in DDR3 form. Check the voltage, timing and speed and make sure you get the same stuff as the board is using if you plan on re-using your existing stick of memory. It MUST be the same volts, speed identical too (and also cas latency which is usually 9~11).

Your processor is definitely good enough to run this game, though you will struggle with more than two cars it will still be decent with 2 or less.

You WILL need a better video card, though, in time cheaper ones will be out that perform better. Look for something from the AMD side as-per video later this summer. Contrary to what someone else posted, the Nvidia gtx 8xxx series DOES support direct-x 10. It's just not powerful enough. This video card you have was released around Christmas of 2006~april 2007. It's almost 10 years old. Time to put that old dog down. I am actually suprised it's any better than the integrated video - even though that will use some of your precious system ram up.

Your system will take more memory if you know what kind to get. Look up the Qualified Vendor List for ram chips, or take yourself to the local computer shop with your model number, serial number, processor specifications, and your old ram chip (preferrably in an anti-static bag).

If you bumped that machine up to 4~6gb or even 8gb, it will really fly. If you get a new video card and ram, (or a used one or both used), you'll be Beaming with happyness when you play this game. I know it's tough living on a budget - but things ARE possible.

 

The chances of me getting an upgrade on my computer is very slim, its basically fucking impossible. Telling some poor cunt to "buy a new computer" and making it seem like the easiest thing on the planet, isn't going to help me, it took me two months of asking just to get 20 dollars on steam. I barely get anything, and building/buying a new computer isn't going to happen for the next ten years (as im too skill-less to get a job and my parents don't like getting things for me) , its what happens when you live the low class life. And its all the guys with the high spec PCs telling me to upgrade, you guys have the money to upgrade, just because you have the money to upgrade, doesn't mean I can upgrade. Get it through your thick fucking skull, that not everyone has the money to buy whatever computer that they want. Telling me to simply upgrade, isn't going to help, I asked "Will these specs run this game" not tell me I should upgrade. As you can see, i'm pissed, people have been telling me to upgrade for years, it gets fucking annoying after a while.

 

Well the simple answer, is no you cannot run this game. Besides upgrade (which you've made pretty clear isnt an option), you have no options to enable you to play the game. So sadly i think you may have to leave it.

 

I had to go through the same thing for 2 years and play with a crap computer. Everyone told me to upgrade too. How hard is it for you to make 35$. Do online surveys, babysit, help around the house and stuff. This is how people like you have high spec computers. Believe in yourself and things will happen.

Im going to ignore any further posts as I do not want to start a fight.

 

Well hun, sittin around saying you're skill-less won't get you a job. Have a little esteem, put your chin up, and go beat feet to the local grocery store or burger world and start putting in apps. It's not much but that's what I did 20 years ago when I needed a job (family construction business was basically only during school hours). Many places will hire people starting at 15~16. You might even be able to get a paper route if you're younger. It's not grand wages, but it's something. It will certainly let you build a nice computer. I worked construction, the local large grocer's receiving department, and even had a job working IT at one point - all in the same year.

You can sit there yelling 'I suck too bad to get a job' (I'm being honest, NOT being rude), or you can CHANGE that.

Things that you can do to help yourself = Take vo-tech in the 10~12th grades, if still in school. It'll make you a LOT easier transitioning to college, and in some places, you might even score an internship through it. Vocational Technical School (Vo-Tech) and Colleges are for people who don't WANT to be skill-less.

Otherwise, to prevent this from ending up being carbon-copied to self-help forums around the world - which this is quickly turning into... I will end this here (or soon after).

To make it clear: We don't hate you (we don't appreciate you getting angry for us trying to help you) Trying to run the full game will end in disappointment when run on your computer (but your brain wants you to make something of yourself, and you're going to be miserable if you don't take it's heed, until you do). We're still here to answer any questions you might have, but your underlying problems right now may be more than a computer upgrade. If I didn't have a back with absolutely no cartalidge left anywhere I'd be busting my bottom making 70 hours+ a week and atleast a grand or more each paycheck after taxes, coming home to a computer the size of this wall, and hopefully not a wife of equal size What I am trying to hint: Having a job and money in your pocket is a wonderful thing - it will make you feel better by giving you goals and the feeling of accomplishment you need. Go wash the bushes, mow the dog, walk the house, paint the lawn, eat the car - do anything for money - it's great not being broke! So seriously, unless you're mentally or physically disabled, please don't sit in the house and mope. The economy is coming back, try getting a simple job, it's FUN, make your co-workers your friends, you'll love it sooner or later (and life too).

 

lol my pc runs it...
All fine, 15 to 70 fps, depending on maps.
1 to 9 vehicles.
Proved you all wrong...

 

You should get some more ram and a better video card. Your PC could use all it's ram up with just the web browser, bud. It's still below the minimum specifications.
Your processor is plenty good enough, but there's many user-maps that you won't be able to run (it may lock the pc trying to) due to only having 2gb of ram.
The video card might slow down with too many cars (reflections, shut those off), or around too many trees on East Coast USA map, or Jungle Rock.
Example: Beamng.drive uses 6~7gb of ram and JUST runs fluidly on medium or high detail on a high-end PC with a mainstream video card (Radeon 7850 2gb, with a mild overclock), when running my Tennessee map.

Do enjoy the game, just know that it's gonna lag and be slow, and may crash or lock up the PC if it runs low on RAM.

 

I have been using it for a while now, I haven't ran into that many problems (PC blue screened twice because I left chrome open, derp). And still, you're telling me to upgrade, can't you see?
I'm fine with what I have now, I'm fine with running this game with a stable 20-30 fps.

 

Poor thing, BSOD's with chrome open, what's the error say? Out of ram?

You should make sure the PC has a page file enabled (they usually do).
Yes, I tell you to upgrade, because I have 22 years of PC and PC hardware experience. Got into it in the mid 90s (94).
If you are fine with how it runs, that's good, but when you get sick of crashing, and don't want to break the Windows installation on that computer (you'd have to put the setup disc in if the machine fails to start) because of frequent BSOD's... give it a little more ram. Even another 2gb stick will do a world of good. Optimum performance with this software comes with 4gb or more of ram. 8gb is better but not everyone can afford it. Ram is super-cheap. Just look up the type of ram you have - there's a sticker on the ram chip, plug those numbers in to amazon, or your favorite search engine. Match the Mhz speed, the voltage (MOST IMPORTANT), and try to get one that looks the same, by the same manufacturer. Usually Corsair or Crucial, or even Kingston memory works just fine in most OEM systems.

I built a PC with 2gb of ram in ... 2004? That was plenty then, but it's not 2004 anymore, heck, I don't even think it's 2005 anymore is it? When did this happen? I remember letting the dog out sometime that year, I wonder what happened to it??? *walks away confused*
