💡 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.

At 1080p expect around 61 FPS, at 1440p about 55 FPS, and at 4K roughly 31 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
