Euro Truck Simulator 2: Best FPS Settings (2026)

**Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2)** is a game that heavily relies on a single processor core. Even with powerful graphics cards in 2026, you may notice FPS drops when entering detailed cities like Berlin or Paris due to traffic and lights. The secret to running smoothly is balancing visual quality with real-time shadow and reflection processing.

This is the most GPU-intensive setting in the game:

Many players set scaling to 400% to remove aliasing. However, this causes the game to render in 4K, even if you have a 1080p monitor.

2026 Tip: Set it to 100% or 125% and use **FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution)** in the graphics settings. This will provide the same sharpness without the extreme performance hit of super-sampling, ensuring stable frames even in heavy capital cities.

Maximize Engine Usage:

On Steam, right-click ETS2 > Properties > General. In Launch Options, enter:

-mm_max_resource_size 100 -mm_max_tmp_buffers_size 1000 -mm_pool_size 4000

This command allows the game to use more memory for model caching, reducing micro-stutters that occur when new AI trucks appear in front of you on the highway.
