You may be able to clear 4.8ghz or even 5ghz with reasonable thermals on your cpu. Find your best cores (about four or so of them, or atleast 3, using one core per modules, as AMD cores are TWO per module**, with one fpu shared on each, 4fpu's on 8 core fx 8xxx chips etc), and find the highest scoring of those 3~4 cores, and run beam with that. When running beam, sometimes less cores is better. (this partially qualifies as thread derailment aside of being related to system performance running large vehicles, my apologies if so) so you're not missing too much yet.Īll in all, good bus! Glad they're in the game and not infront of me on my commute!Ĭlick to expand. I will mention that, regardless of the matter, any more than 10 cars (which goes 20~26fps or so), and Beam tends to get crash-happy when you're respawning them (using AI controlling the cars). Higher ghz cpus such as 4+ ghz intel cpus tend to run 2 cars per-core pretty well (any more and it starts feeling 'slow'). If looking for a cpu to run Beam, look for the highest ghz intel cpu's 4xxx series or above (they have FPU improvements), and the amount of cores pretty much denotes how many cars you can run simultaneously. ZEN (the up and coming AMD chips coming this fall) will improve upon this quite a bit, so if you have AMD still, all is not lost. It's also consequentially why the AMD fx chips perform so poorly in it - AMD seriously skimped on the FPU's on their AMD FX cpu. That's the part of the cpu (called the FPU) that Beam uses for it's physics. It comes down to floating-point (formerly 'whetstone') performance. Those with an AMD fx cpu might have a bit of trouble with the bigger vehicles in this game, such as the commercial truck or the bus, but the recent higher-ghz intel chips don't have any issues. However, aside of the Belaz's appetite for school buses (KRUNCH!), it works great, looks the part, and functions, too! Job well done. and it loves to eat the school bus heh heh. However, there's no denying that the bus is a wonderful addition to a CAR ACCIDENT game Of course so does the Belaz mining truck (forget where I found that). Sometimes I have to open one of my windows. It does heat up this bedroom, however, after a bit. I have a 4790k locked into it's turbo setting while the game is on. Guess it depends on the AI work too, but I kept my AI paths pretty simple on my map. No, suprisingly they don't take too much more power to run than 8~10 covets.
