This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the Radeon RX 9060 sets the ceiling at about 35 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 129 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 73% (FPS gap: 94 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon RX 9060 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 32% | GPU Limits CPU 33% | GPU Limits CPU 44% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 27% | GPU Limits CPU 36% | GPU Limits CPU 37% | GPU Limits CPU 51% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 67% | GPU Limits CPU 71% | GPU Limits CPU 70% | GPU Limits CPU 73% |
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 Radeon RX 9060 can run Euro Truck Simulator 2 smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 65 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 47% 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 #4 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 3070 for around $499 (Rank #16 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 9060 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 9060 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 Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon RX 9060 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.
