Euro Truck Simulator 2 on Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB
Yes. The Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB meets Euro Truck Simulator 2's recommended spec. We estimate ~58 fps at 1080p high (range 46–70, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1080p, use the medium preset. Its 8 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 | 99 | 69 | 41 |
| medium | 75 | 53 | 32 |
| high | 58 | 41 | 24 |
| ultra | 46 | 33 | 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: medium preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: low 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 5500 XT 8GB back.
- Processor needed for ~58 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, ~58 fps.
Video memory
- Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB: 8 GB
- Minimum spec: 2 GB (+6 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 2 GB (+6 GB headroom)
