Best Euro Truck Simulator 2 settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Euro Truck Simulator 2 runs at roughly 100 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 100FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super is a entry-level graphics card with 6GB of VRAM, and Euro Truck Simulator 2 is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs great at 1080p — about 100 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 100 FPS at 1080p and 67 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 65 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

CPU-bound: in Euro Truck Simulator 2, a Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU caps you near 100 FPSregardless of graphics settings — lowering them won't raise your frame rate much here.
💡 Euro Truck Simulator 2: Runs on very modest hardware; Shadows and Mirror Quality are the heavy hitters, and big traffic can be CPU-bound.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSROff
ETS2 has no DLSS, but the Scaling slider sets internal render resolution — the biggest single GPU saving. (Above 100% it supersamples and costs FPS.)
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
The heaviest graphics setting in the game. High to Medium is a big FPS gain you barely notice while driving.
Mirror Quality / DistanceMediumbaseline
Mirrors re-render the world behind you — expensive. Lower them first for a quick win.
Grass / Vegetation DensityMediumbaseline
Roadside grass and foliage amount. Medium is fine and helps on long highway stretches.
Reflection DetailMediumbaseline
Reflections on your cab and wet roads. Subtle at speed — a safe trim.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM.
