But then again I'm building an overkill system. 32GB is still considered overkill though. Even a game like roblox uses about 8GB of ram. Now 16GB of ram is becoming the sweet spot in PC gaming 8GB is starting to be a little too less because, I've played some games with my 32GB of ram, and I've seen them go over 8GB of ram with nothing running in the background. 8GB a few years ago was like the standard. With RAM still being rather expensive (my second 8 GB of RAM was over twice the price of the first 8 GB I bought in early 2016, I decided to upgrade last year since I knew prices definitely weren't going down anytime soon) it just doesn't make sense for some if they don't really need it. 16 definitely makes things a bit easier though. Install the game following the provided instructions. Most of the time you'll be fine with 8 if you don't have a ridiculous amount of things open. Purchase and download BeamNG.drive from the official website or the Steam store. Originally posted by Locklear:Who doesn't have 16GB's now days.? Probably a lot of people, it's just not needed unless you have tons of browser tabs and/or are playing very RAM-hungry games. So if you see these, consider adding more. Not having enough RAM will cause hitching and random slowdowns in game-play. Just turn down settings if it helps run the game smoother. Make sure you meet minimum specs, if you're at-least as good as minimum, you should be fine.

You will also require a authentication key which can be found from keymaster. Recommended specs are for optimal performance (less hitching, good video settings). BeamMP uses the same maps, vehicles & mods so you dont need to. Get whatever matches your ram's volts/mhz / cas latency if you need more and you should be fine (getting same stuff is best, but RAM is RAM for the most part especially if you run it at it's default speed, and you make sure to match the voltage, and that the new stuff is rated as fast or faster than your existing stuff.). Sometimes you can find it very cheap new. This section contains articles to get you started with BeamNG.drive and learn about its features.

We recommend 10GB of VRAM, but 8GB VRAM might work depending on maps, vehicles and settings. Ebay is good for used RAM and Amazon is good for it new. The hardware requirements are high, specially on the GPU side. So if you feel like your machine gets sluggish after you've been using it a while, give it a boost, you can find matching used RAM on Ebay or Amazon sometimes reasonably cheap. Recently upgraded to 32gb on my (almost four year old) i7 tower, world of difference! Wow my 1st PC had 8 megs - yes - megs - of RAM back in 1994, that was pretty much back then honestly, thank goodness DOOM only required 4 megs.Ĩgb of ram is 'enough' for most games, 16gb is plenty, 32gb is good for content creation for games.
