BeamNG.drive on GeForce GTX 960
No. The GeForce GTX 960 is below BeamNG.drive's minimum spec (Radeon RX 570). Our model still estimates ~39 fps at 1080p low (range 32–47, medium confidence, ±20%), but cards below the minimum may not be supported. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the GeForce RTX 3060 8GB (~60 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 39 | 28 | 17 |
| medium | 30 | 21 | 13 |
| high | 23 | 16 | 10 |
| ultra | 19 | 13 | 8 |
Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Best settings
- 60 fps at 1080p: not reachable
- 60 fps at 1440p: not reachable
- 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable
This GeForce card has no tensor cores, so DLSS is not available. Use FSR or XeSS in quality mode before dropping the preset.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce GTX 960 back.
- Processor needed for ~30 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Ryzen 7 3700X): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~23 fps.
Video memory
- GeForce GTX 960: 2 GB
- Minimum spec: 6 GB (4 GB short)
- Recommended spec: 8 GB (6 GB short)
