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 125 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 105 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 53 to 74 FPS.
The Arc B580 is 37% 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).
Euro Truck Simulator 2 supports: AFMF. However, the Arc B580 is not compatible with these technologies.
At lower resolutions (1080p medium, 1440p low), the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1440p ultra, all 4k settings), the Arc B580 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p (low/high/ultra), 1440p (medium/high).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $633. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 125 FPS, equivalent to 0.2 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k low, the Arc B580 sets the ceiling at about 117 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 191 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 39% (FPS gap: 74 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 5/12 cells, CPU limits 3/12, balanced 4/12.
Your Arc B580 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 6% | CPU Limits GPU 6% | Balanced | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 7% | Balanced | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 11% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 39% | GPU Limits CPU 38% | GPU Limits CPU 34% | GPU Limits CPU 38% |
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, not generic utilization heuristics.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the Arc B580 can run Euro Truck Simulator 2 smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 107 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 37% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 94% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $633 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $249 GPU (Rank #14 Value)). Your build is already very cost-efficient, but if you want even more FPS, the next good option is upgrading the GPU. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 5060 for around $299 (Rank #2 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Euro Truck Simulator 2, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Arc B580 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: 1440p ultra, 4k high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k ultra. CPU-limited at: 1080p medium, 1440p low.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 supports AFMF, but your Arc B580 is not compatible with these technologies. Frame Generation is typically available on newer GPUs like the RTX 40-series (DLSS 3) or modern AMD cards (FSR 3).
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 Arc B580 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.
