This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k medium, the Radeon RX 470/570 sets the ceiling at about 63 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 167 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 62% (FPS gap: 104 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon RX 470/570 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 20% | GPU Limits CPU 15% | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 26% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 23% | GPU Limits CPU 20% | GPU Limits CPU 27% | GPU Limits CPU 35% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 59% | GPU Limits CPU 62% | GPU Limits CPU 60% | GPU Limits CPU 62% |
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.
See how your processor and graphics card compare against the game official minimum and recommended system specs. The placement of your hardware is calculated using relative synthetic performance scores to help you gauge overall playability.
Your CPU is 94% below recommended and your GPU is 32% below recommended, but both meet minimum specs. Playable at Low/Medium settings, 1080p or below.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the Radeon RX 470/570 can run Euro Truck Simulator 2 smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 79 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 32% below the recommended specs, and your CPU is 94% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $424 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $40 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 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 Radeon RX 470/570 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 high, 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p ultra, 1440p high, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p ultra, 4k high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k ultra.
Yes! Euro Truck Simulator 2 supports AFMF, and your Radeon RX 470/570 is compatible with AFMF. With Frame Generation enabled, you can expect a 1.5x-2x FPS multiplier on top of native framerates, significantly boosting perceived smoothness.
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.
