Best BeamNG.drive settings for the AMD Radeon 780M (iGPU) (2026)

On a AMD Radeon 780M (iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), BeamNG.drive runs at roughly 66 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 43FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD Radeon 780M (iGPU) is a handheld graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and BeamNG.drive is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 66 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 43 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 66 FPS at 1080p and 60 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 36 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 BeamNG.drive: Soft-body physics is heavily CPU-bound - more vehicles lowers FPS no matter your GPU; Dynamic Reflections is the heaviest graphics setting.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
BeamNG renders below your screen resolution and upscales. A solid GPU-side gain — but remember the physics are CPU-bound, so more vehicles will lower FPS no matter your GPU.
Dynamic ReflectionsMediumbaseline
Live reflections on car bodywork. The heaviest graphics setting in BeamNG — lowering or disabling it is a big FPS gain.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High looks great and runs better than Ultra.
Mesh QualityHighbaseline
How fast meshes load in and their overall detail. Cheap to lower with mild pop-in on distant scenery.
Lighting QualityHighbaseline
How detailed the dynamic lighting is. Drop it last among the heavy settings — it shapes the overall look.
Ambient OcclusionHighbaseline
Soft contact shadows under cars and objects. Subtle — safe to lower.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. Fine at High on most cards.
Anti-AliasingSMAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. FXAA is fast; SMAA is higher quality for a little more cost.
Depth of Field / Motion BlurOnbaseline
Pure preference and cheap — many players switch these off for a clearer view.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps road textures sharp at distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
