American Truck Simulator on Radeon RX 5600 XT

Meets recommendedEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes. The Radeon RX 5600 XT meets American Truck Simulator's recommended spec. We estimate ~83 fps at 1080p high (range 67–100, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the medium preset (~58 fps on high). Its 6 GB of video memory covers the 2 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

Estimate · medium confidence, ±20%

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: medium preset
144 fps at 1080p: not reachable

AMD card: use FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset (XeSS also works). DLSS is not available on Radeon.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Radeon RX 5600 XT back.
Processor needed for ~83 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, ~83 fps.

Video memory

Radeon RX 5600 XT: 6 GB
Minimum spec: 2 GB (+4 GB headroom)
