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 131 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 119 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 69 FPS.
The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is 60% 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. This game does not have native DLSS 3 or FSR 3 Frame Generation support. AFMF is AMD-exclusive and not compatible with GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.
At lower resolutions (1080p (low/medium/high), 1440p (low/medium/high)), the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (all 4k settings), the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p ultra, 1440p ultra.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $529. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 131 FPS, equivalent to 0.25 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti sets the ceiling at about 99 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 123 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 20% (FPS gap: 24 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 4/12 cells, CPU limits 6/12, balanced 2/12.
Your GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 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 7% | CPU Limits GPU 10% | CPU Limits GPU 12% | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 10% | CPU Limits GPU 10% | CPU Limits GPU 12% | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 19% | GPU Limits CPU 19% | GPU Limits CPU 14% | GPU Limits CPU 20% |
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 GeForce GTX 1080 Ti can run Euro Truck Simulator 2 smoothly up to 4k achieving around 69 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 60% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 94% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $529 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $145 GPU). Since the CPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger processor will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, the Ryzen 9 9950X is a great upgrade option for around $649 (Rank #5 for value).
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 GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 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 high, 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1440p high, 1440p low, 1440p medium. GPU-limited at: 4k high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k ultra.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 supports AFMF, but your GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 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 GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 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.
