Best BeamNG.drive settings for the Intel HD 630 (7th Gen) (2026)

On a Intel HD 630 (7th Gen) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), BeamNG.drive runs at roughly 17 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 7FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel HD 630 (7th Gen) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and BeamNG.drive is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 17 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 7 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 17 FPS at 1080p and 10 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 6 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is XeSS 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 XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+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 ReflectionsDisabled+12% FPS
Live reflections on car bodywork. The heaviest graphics setting in BeamNG — lowering or disabling it is a big FPS gain.
Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High looks great and runs better than Ultra.
Mesh QualityLow+8% FPS
How fast meshes load in and their overall detail. Cheap to lower with mild pop-in on distant scenery.
Lighting QualityLow+7% FPS
How detailed the dynamic lighting is. Drop it last among the heavy settings — it shapes the overall look.
Ambient OcclusionDisabled+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows under cars and objects. Subtle — safe to lower.
Anti-AliasingOff+4% FPS
Edge smoothing. FXAA is fast; SMAA is higher quality for a little more cost.
Depth of Field / Motion BlurOff+3% FPS
Pure preference and cheap — many players switch these off for a clearer view.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. Fine at High on most cards.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps road textures sharp at distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
