Renderers

BeamNG.drive ships three renderers. The Launcher selects the default one for the platform; the others are available from its dropdown.

Renderer	Platforms	Notes
Direct3D 12	Windows x64, Windows ARM64	Default on Windows. Renderer features are supported; platform integrations differ on ARM64.
Vulkan	Windows x64, Windows ARM64, Linux x64	Default and only renderer on Linux and Steam Deck. Renderer features are supported; platform integrations differ on ARM64.
Direct3D 11	Windows x64, Windows ARM64	Legacy fallback for GPUs and drivers without Direct3D 12 or Vulkan 1.3 support. No texture streaming, Shader Model 6 effects, temporal upscalers, or VR.

The game warns at startup when the GPU driver is older than the supported floor (NVIDIA 550.00, AMD 31.0.21000.0, Mesa 23.0). See Anti-aliasing and Upscaling for which upscalers are available on each platform.

Windows on ARM (ARM64)

A native ARM64 build (BinArm64\BeamNG.drive.arm64.exe) is included and started automatically by the Launcher on ARM64 Windows devices. It runs the same renderers as x64. Steam integration, Virtual Reality, FSR 3, FSR 4, XeSS, Logitech TRUEFORCE, and DualSense advanced features are not included. There is no native Linux ARM64 build.

See Windows on ARM (ARM64) for the full list.
