The lighting engine has been updated over the years. It scales well, but running at 'Ultra' settings with high scaling can challenge even modern GPUs.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 159 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 152 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 106 FPS.
The RTX 500 Ada Generation Laptop GPU is 4% below recommended, but 172% above minimum for Euro Truck Simulator 2. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 94% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-9600).
At lower resolutions (all 1080p settings, 1440p (low/medium/high), 4k (low/medium/high)), the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (4k ultra), the RTX 500 Ada Generation Laptop GPU becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1440p ultra.
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages. Adjacent heavier settings are lightly stabilized to remove prediction jitter that would otherwise create impossible reversals.
At 1080p low, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the ceiling at about 279 FPS, while the RTX 500 Ada Generation Laptop GPU could reach 500 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 44% (FPS gap: 221 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 10/12 cells, GPU limits 1/12, balanced 1/12.
Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the RTX 500 Ada Generation Laptop GPU rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 44% | CPU Limits GPU 37% | CPU Limits GPU 36% | CPU Limits GPU 22% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 26% | CPU Limits GPU 18% | CPU Limits GPU 16% | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 17% | CPU Limits GPU 7% | CPU Limits GPU 7% | GPU Limits CPU 11% |
We estimate the maximum FPS the processor can sustain and the maximum FPS the graphics card can sustain in each setting, then compare those limits directly.
Limit Factor formula: (stronger - weaker) / stronger. Example: if CPU ceiling is 200 FPS and GPU ceiling is 140 FPS, then GPU limits CPU by 30%.
CPU Limits GPU means the processor ceiling is lower. GPU Limits CPU means the graphics ceiling is lower. Balanced means the FPS ceilings are close enough that the gap is negligible.
A component can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings and then monotonic-smoothed across heavier presets and resolutions, not generic utilization heuristics.
See how your processor and graphics card compare against the game official minimum and recommended system specs. The placement of your hardware is calculated using relative synthetic performance scores to help you gauge overall playability.
Your CPU is 94% below recommended and your GPU is 4% below recommended, but both meet minimum specs. Playable at Low/Medium settings, 1080p or below.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the RTX 500 Ada Generation Laptop GPU can run Euro Truck Simulator 2 smoothly up to 4k achieving around 106 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 4% below the recommended specs, and your CPU is 94% above the recommended requirements.
Price data is not currently available for this combination. In general, look for setups where the CPU and GPU are balanced — this ensures you're not overspending on one component that the other can't keep up with.
For Euro Truck Simulator 2, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is currently the limiting factor — the RTX 500 Ada Generation Laptop GPU has extra headroom that a faster processor could take advantage of. This is especially noticeable at 1080p where CPU performance matters more. CPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high. GPU-limited at: 4k ultra.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 does not currently support Frame Generation technologies like DLSS 3 or FSR 3. Your performance is based entirely on native rendering. If the game adds support in a future update, newer GPUs will benefit the most.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 requires at minimum a Core i5-6400 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 660 (GPU) with 8 GB RAM and 25 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-9600 and GeForce GTX 1660 with 12 GB RAM. Your setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth performance.
These Euro Truck Simulator 2 FPS results are not arbitrary numbers. They come from calculations informed by thousands of real gaming benchmarks, and the typical accuracy range is around 10% to 15%. That makes them far more useful than generic FPS calculators that simply invent values without a benchmark foundation. Actual in-game performance can still vary with drivers, updates, RAM configuration, cooling, and the exact scene being rendered.
Performance estimates are based on synthetic benchmarks and hardware capabilities.
Results may vary based on drivers, OS, and background processes.
