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 148 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 136 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 93 FPS.
The Arc A730M is 16% below recommended, but 139% above minimum for Euro Truck Simulator 2. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 126% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-9600).
At lower resolutions (1080p (low/medium/high), 1440p low), the Ryzen 7 9800X3D sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1440p ultra, 4k (medium/high/ultra)), the Arc A730M becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p ultra, 1440p (medium/high), 4k low.
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages. Adjacent heavier settings are lightly stabilized to remove prediction jitter that would otherwise create impossible reversals.
At 4k ultra, the Arc A730M sets the ceiling at about 110 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has headroom up to 157 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 30% (FPS gap: 47 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 4/12 cells, CPU limits 4/12, balanced 4/12.
Your Arc A730M is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 29% | CPU Limits GPU 22% | CPU Limits GPU 19% | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 14% | Balanced | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 21% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 12% | GPU Limits CPU 15% | GPU Limits CPU 30% |
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 and then monotonic-smoothed across heavier presets and resolutions, 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 126% below recommended and your GPU is 16% below recommended, but both meet minimum specs. Playable at Low/Medium settings, 1080p or below.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with the Arc A730M can run Euro Truck Simulator 2 smoothly up to 4k achieving around 93 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 16% below the recommended specs, and your CPU is 126% above the recommended requirements.
Price data is not currently available for this combination. In general, look for setups where the CPU and GPU are balanced — this ensures you're not overspending on one component that the other can't keep up with.
For Euro Truck Simulator 2, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Arc A730M is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 1440p ultra, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra. CPU fully utilized at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1440p low.
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.
