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 111 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 106 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 71 FPS.
The Radeon RX 9070 is 118% 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. The Radeon RX 9070 can use AFMF, providing up to 1.5x-2x frame rate boost.
At lower resolutions (1080p low, 1440p low), the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1080p ultra, 1440p ultra, all 4k settings), the Radeon RX 9070 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p (medium/high), 1440p (medium/high).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $934. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 111 FPS, equivalent to 0.12 FPS per dollar.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the Radeon RX 9070 sets the ceiling at about 99 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 129 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 23% (FPS gap: 30 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 7/12 cells, CPU limits 3/12, balanced 2/12.
Your Radeon RX 9070 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% | GPU Limits CPU 6% | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 13% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 9% | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 16% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 8% | GPU Limits CPU 19% | GPU Limits CPU 13% | GPU Limits CPU 23% |
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% above and your GPU is 118% above the recommended specs. Ultra settings at 1080p, or High at 1440p/4K.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the Radeon RX 9070 can run Euro Truck Simulator 2 smoothly up to 4k achieving around 71 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 118% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 94% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $934 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $550 GPU (Rank #59 Value)). Your Radeon RX 9070 provides phenomenal top-tier performance but at a premium enthusiast price. Since you are essentially at the ceiling of current hardware capabilities, there are no meaningful performance upgrades available. However, if you wanted a more cost-effective build that still delivers a great experience, you could theoretically step down to a high-end card with a significantly better value rating. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 4080 for around $1199 (Rank #61 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
Your Radeon RX 9070 is already a top-tier graphics card. While it's technically the limiting factor here (which means you are fully utilizing your GPU's visual horsepower exactly as intended), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Euro Truck Simulator 2 performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1080p ultra, 1440p ultra, 4k high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k ultra. CPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1440p low.
Yes! Euro Truck Simulator 2 supports AFMF, and your Radeon RX 9070 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 9070 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.
