This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the Radeon Pro WX 7100 sets the ceiling at about 45 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 123 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 63% (FPS gap: 78 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon Pro WX 7100 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 23% | GPU Limits CPU 19% | GPU Limits CPU 27% | GPU Limits CPU 35% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 27% | GPU Limits CPU 25% | GPU Limits CPU 34% | GPU Limits CPU 44% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 61% | GPU Limits CPU 62% | GPU Limits CPU 60% | GPU Limits CPU 63% |
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 + Radeon Pro WX 7100 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 6% and 31% and GPU utilization between 53% and 88%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D keeps significant headroom across presets, while Radeon Pro WX 7100 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 71% at 1080p to 69% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 15% to 19%.
The utilization pattern is relatively even. The Radeon Pro WX 7100 reaches 72% average at its highest-load preset, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D peaks at 21% 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 15% and GPU 71%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 19% and GPU 69%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 19% and GPU 69%. 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 12% (6-17%) and GPU 72% (58-85%), which keeps Radeon Pro WX 7100 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 Radeon Pro WX 7100 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.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the Radeon Pro WX 7100 can run Euro Truck Simulator 2 smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 66 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 34% below the recommended specs, and your CPU is 94% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $564 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $180 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 RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU (Rank #6 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Euro Truck Simulator 2, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon Pro WX 7100 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.
