    Here are my computer's specifications through a picture. I would like to know if it's enough to handle BeamNG.Drive. I spent a lot of money on upgrading from an HP Pavilion to this and I would like it to run at, at least 30FPS.

    I am pretty sure your computer will run beamng at at least 30 fps. My computer has lower specs than yours and it runs just fine.

    I really hope so because I've been playing BeamNG on my Toshiba laptop for a few months now at 16-19FPS and the lag is getting annoying. I bought a HP Pavilion i3 and it was a complete flop. It had no graphics card at all and could not even run the game at 9FPS, so I just ordered this one today, It will be in Thursday.

    No. The GT730 is literally worse than integrated graphics - you'd get better performance if you just removed it.

    With an HD530 (Skylake iGPU) you might get 30-60 fps on mid settings depending on map.

    If you turn all the settings to low and shadows + lighting on lowest, you'll probably get steady 60 fps with one vehicle on gridmap. At least my R7 240 and i5 2400 do. And the GT730 is slightly faster than the R7 240.

    I don't know though. My 5 year old Laptop runs BeamNG at 19-21 FPS and it's really not that great of a Laptop. This computer was just released in December and was specifically made for running games like Fallout 4, and Witchet 3. If you read BeamNG's System Requirements, my new computer falls in between Moderate and High Performance.

    GT 730 falls under Minimum Requirements, and CPU falls under Moderate. Thus, you can expect low to medium performance at low to medium frame rate.

    Do y'all think it will run at least 30 FPS though? I ran BeamNG with my Laptop with these settings.

    Overall Quality - Custom

    Mesh Quality - Low

    Texture Quality - Low

    Lightning Quality - Lowest

    Shader Quality - Lowest

    Post Possessing - Normal

    Anisotropic Filtering - X16

    Antialising - X4

    SSAO - Off

    HDR - Off

    Lightning Rays - Off

    DoF - Off

    Dynamic Reflections - Off

    I got about 19 - 21 FPS with 3 vehicles on East Coast USA. So will this PC Do better then my Laptop?

    No. The GT730 is literally the worst thing you could install in any PC. It is such a bad gaming card that its actually a downgrade over the built in graphics on your CPU. You will not get 30fps on that card.

    So pretty much an $800.00 computer specially built for gaming still will not run this little $25.00 game? I ain't finna spend thousands just to play BeamNG.

    You were ripped off. A GT 730 is not a gaming card. As others have pointed out, the integrated graphics that comes with the CPU is better than it. You should do some research before spending $800 on a "gaming" computer

    Prebuilt PCs are money-wasters. My PC cost less than that and gets 60FPS at nearly max settings. That's not just BeamNG, the GT 730 will struggle to get a good frame rate in ANY game nowadays.

    Low-end APU and R5 Graphics, it might actually be worse than your original choice

    Probably, but you'll have to run it at low settings. And I mean low.

    That one was my Laptop I have that runs BeamNG at 19-21 FPS with 3 Vehicles on East Coast USA. So is the PC I'm getting better then the Laptop at least?
    --- Post updated ---
    Is their any custom built PC's that will run it for under $650.00? I already have a monitor. I was looking for computers on EBay, Brand New Custom Built, but I'm not sure what the best choice would be.

    Whoever was trying to sell you an 800 dollar PC with a GT730 and then advertising it as a gaming rig is a conman. A GT730 is unsuitable for any gaming load whatsover.

    Your laptop processor is worse, graphics possibly better.

    Yeah, that should do 30fps on low.

    I cannot say this enough.

    NEVER BUY PRE BUILT

    You were ripped off. That computer will NOT run any modern games.

    You should return that PC immediately. For $800 you can build a rig that will run most recent AAA games on high settings in 1080p 60fps. Read my computer building guide (first link in my signature).
