Euro Truck Simulator 2 benchmark on RTX 5090: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 FPS with a RTX 5090 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 317FPS min 156Excellent | 279FPS min 146Excellent | 216FPS min 128Excellent |
| High | 412FPS min 203Excellent | 363FPS min 189Excellent | 280FPS min 166Excellent |
| Medium | 500FPS min 247Excellent | 475FPS min 248Excellent | 367FPS min 217Excellent |
| Low | 500FPS min 247Excellent | 500FPS min 261Excellent | 475FPS min 281Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 65% | CPU 60% | CPU 48% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 5090. There is 6% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
DLSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Euro Truck Simulator 2 at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RTX 5090 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 317 | 396 | 460 | 673 |
| 1440p | 279 | 377 | 460 | 641 |
| 4K | 216 | 313 | 400 | 532 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 5090 does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the RTX 5090 has headroom to spare in Euro Truck Simulator 2: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help.
Is the RTX 5090 Enough for Euro Truck Simulator 2?
The RTX 5090 delivers 317 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Euro Truck Simulator 2. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 279 FPS and at 4K 216 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
