American Truck Simulator on GeForce RTX 2060 12GB
Yes. The GeForce RTX 2060 12GB meets American Truck Simulator's recommended spec. We estimate ~87 fps at 1080p high (range 70–105, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the high preset (~61 fps on high). Its 12 GB of video memory covers the 2 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 148 | 104 | 62 |
| medium | 113 | 79 | 48 |
| high | 87 | 61 | 37 |
| ultra | 70 | 49 | 29 |
Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Best settings
- 60 fps at 1080p: ultra preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: high preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: low preset
NVIDIA RTX card: turn on DLSS in quality mode before dropping the preset; FSR and XeSS also work if the game lacks DLSS.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce RTX 2060 12GB back.
- Processor needed for ~87 fps: Ryzen 3 3300X or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i5-9600K): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~87 fps.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 2060 12GB: 12 GB
- Minimum spec: 2 GB (+10 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 2 GB (+10 GB headroom)
Cheapest upgrade for each target
Slowest current desktop card (2020+) that reaches each target in American Truck Simulator; usually the cheapest.
