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 116 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 107 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 56 to 95 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile is 78% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1660) for Euro Truck Simulator 2. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 94% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-9600).
At lower resolutions (1080p (low/medium/high), 1440p (low/medium/high)), the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1080p ultra, 1440p ultra, all 4k settings), the GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile becomes the FPS-limiting side.
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 4k ultra, the GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile sets the ceiling at about 100 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 140 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 29% (FPS gap: 40 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 6/12 cells, CPU limits 6/12, balanced 0/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 17% | CPU Limits GPU 17% | CPU Limits GPU 17% | GPU Limits CPU 11% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 8% | CPU Limits GPU 8% | CPU Limits GPU 7% | GPU Limits CPU 19% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 19% | GPU Limits CPU 19% | GPU Limits CPU 19% | GPU Limits CPU 29% |
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.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile can run Euro Truck Simulator 2 smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 107 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 78% above 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 GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 1080p ultra, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra. CPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high.
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 Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
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.
