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 113 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 105 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 49 to 69 FPS.
The Radeon VII is 40% 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 VII can use AFMF, providing up to 1.5x-2x frame rate boost.
The Radeon VII sets the FPS ceiling at 1080p ultra, 1440p ultra, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p (low/medium/high), 1440p (low/medium/high).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $684. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 113 FPS, equivalent to 0.17 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k low, the Radeon VII sets the ceiling at about 103 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 190 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 46% (FPS gap: 87 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 6/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 6/12.
Your Radeon VII 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) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 12% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 15% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 46% | GPU Limits CPU 46% | GPU Limits CPU 39% | GPU Limits CPU 42% |
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 VII can run Euro Truck Simulator 2 smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 105 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 40% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 94% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $684 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $300 GPU). Your Radeon VII is currently the main performance bottleneck and its market value ($300) is actually higher than newer, faster alternatives. Trading it or upgrading could yield immediate profit and performance gains. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 5060 for around $299 (Rank #2 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance while costing less than your current GPU.
For Euro Truck Simulator 2, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon VII 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 ultra, 1440p ultra, 4k high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k ultra.
Yes! Euro Truck Simulator 2 supports AFMF, and your Radeon VII 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 VII 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.
