BeamNG.drive on GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop GPU
Yes. The GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop GPU meets BeamNG.drive's recommended spec. We estimate ~68 fps at 1080p high (range 55–82, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the medium preset (~48 fps on high). Its 8 GB of video memory covers the 8 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 116 | 81 | 49 |
| medium | 89 | 62 | 37 |
| high | 68 | 48 | 29 |
| ultra | 55 | 38 | 23 |
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: high preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: medium preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable
NVIDIA RTX card: turn on DLSS in quality mode before dropping the preset; FSR and XeSS also work if the game lacks DLSS.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop GPU back.
- Processor needed for ~68 fps: Ryzen 3 3100 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, ~68 fps.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop GPU: 8 GB
- Minimum spec: 6 GB (+2 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 8 GB (+0 GB headroom)
