Euro Truck Simulator 2 on GeForce GTX 1650 Laptop GPU
Yes, at lower settings. The GeForce GTX 1650 Laptop GPU meets Euro Truck Simulator 2's minimum spec but not the recommended one. We estimate ~31 fps at 1080p high (range 25–37, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. 60 fps at 1080p is out of reach. Its 4 GB of video memory covers the 2 GB the game recommends. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the Radeon RX 9050 4GB (~70 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 53 | 37 | 22 |

| high | 31 | 22 | 13 |
| ultra | 25 | 17 | 10 |
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: not reachable
- 60 fps at 1440p: not reachable
- 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable
This GeForce card has no tensor cores, so DLSS is not available. Use FSR or XeSS in quality mode before dropping the preset.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce GTX 1650 Laptop GPU back.
- Processor needed for ~31 fps: Core i3-9100F 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, ~31 fps.
Video memory
- GeForce GTX 1650 Laptop GPU: 4 GB
- Minimum spec: 2 GB (+2 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 2 GB (+2 GB headroom)
