BeamNG.drive is a simulation game that came out on PC on May 29, 2015. The recommended graphics listed by the Steam store page: Minimum 8GB VRAM (AMD RX 6700 / Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060). It asks for 32 GB of RAM (minimum 16 GB).
Our estimate: the minimum for a steady 60 FPS at 1080p High is an Arc A770 16GB, and a GTX 970 (older card) holds around 30 FPS on Low. That card is still sold new, so it is also the one we suggest buying. The game is heavy on the processor; a Core i5-10400F or better keeps up with 60 FPS. On basic Intel UHD 630 graphics expect only about 4 FPS on Low, so a dedicated graphics card makes a big difference.
