Best Euro Truck Simulator 2 settings for the NVIDIA GTX 950 (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 950 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Euro Truck Simulator 2 runs at roughly 70 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 52FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 950 is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Euro Truck Simulator 2 is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 70 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 52 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 70 FPS at 1080p and 60 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 38 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	52	70
1440p	31	60
4K	18	38

💡 Euro Truck Simulator 2: Runs on very modest hardware; Shadows and Mirror Quality are the heavy hitters, and big traffic can be CPU-bound.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSRQuality+35% FPS

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.
