This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the GeForce MX570 sets the ceiling at about 14 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 123 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 89% (FPS gap: 109 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your GeForce MX570 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) | GPU Limits CPU 54% | GPU Limits CPU 56% | GPU Limits CPU 57% | GPU Limits CPU 68% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 62% | GPU Limits CPU 65% | GPU Limits CPU 66% | GPU Limits CPU 78% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 81% | GPU Limits CPU 83% | GPU Limits CPU 85% | GPU Limits CPU 89% |
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.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D + GeForce MX570 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 9% and 32% and GPU utilization between 60% and 88%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce MX570 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 75% at 1080p to 73% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 16% to 19%.
The utilization pattern is relatively even. The GeForce MX570 reaches 76% average at its highest-load preset, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D peaks at 22% average. This suggests a fairly controlled load distribution, but the actual FPS-limiting side should still be read from the limiter analysis above.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 16% and GPU 75%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 19% and GPU 73%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 19% and GPU 73%. This shows that workload scaling is limited, which can indicate engine-side constraints.
1080p (Full HD) High is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 13% (9-17%) and GPU 76% (66-85%), which keeps GeForce MX570 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 7 7800X3D remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce MX570 remain reasonably matched for this title.
Understanding Hardware Utilization: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. They describe hardware load, but they do not directly tell you which component sets the FPS ceiling.
Important: a CPU or GPU can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. Two processors can both show 40% usage and still deliver very different frame rates, depending on per-core speed, cache, engine threading, driver overhead, and frame preparation efficiency.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce MX570 will struggle to run Euro Truck Simulator 2 at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 49 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $504 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $120 GPU). Since the GPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger GPU will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, upgrading to the GeForce GTX 1080 SLI (móvel) (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 GeForce MX570 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 low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 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.
