On tight spaces like you showed (Like in between the wall and the power box) it's noticeable on first person view... but when you are cruising down a road (Where you spend 95% of your time in-game), you can barely notice it, plus, while you are driving, you'll probably be paying attention to the road itself and your surroundings... and not driving through some places staring at walls and corners to admire the details SSAO puts in the game.

For pictures and etc, the SSAO makes some difference, but for the actual gameplay, it's not a valuable element. At least that's what i think... sacrificing my overall performance of the game just to have small details is not worth it for me. And that's not counting the fact i mentioned in my original post (Which is that, SSAO in some cases, makes some parts look worse.).

High will make my 1070 (not ti) miss the 60 fps I want, in some rare places: sequoia forest, northernmost places in Idaho, dense woods.
So medium it is.

@gaillard with my 1050 I get around 40-50 fps with everything on high and SSAO off. I am happy with 30 until the random micro stutter happens in cities.

Well, I feel I need to add that I play nearly everything maxed, 200%, on 3440x1440... Every parameter counts.
I read here several times the GPU is far from THE decisive element for TruckSim.
Stutters, yes, they are there (SSD disks for both program and Documents folders)

I play everything on maximum, except for the mirrors draw distance and quality... I leave SSAO off and i run at 300% scaling on ATS and 200% on ETS2... I get an average of 90fps on ATS with slights drops to 60 while i drive through dense cities an/or forests. And an average of 100fps on ETS2 with slight drops to 70 in heavier places. I've had some stutters before, but after changing to 1.40 they somehow ceased to exist...

I tried ssao again with 1.40 update and I still don’t like the way it looks. I primarily drive the W900 and It has that crosshatch texture on top of the chrome air cleaners and the hood and breaks immersion for me. I can’t tell any difference with it on or off other than that.

@55sixxx What graphics card are you running? I am thinking about turning my settings down to low or medium to see if I can get some more fps and even less stuttering.

I use it on high now (getting 120 fps at 300%). Without it vegetation and trees look really fake. It makes everything alive.

I can only use it in my new PC which has a radeon 6800 xt. The previous laptop I used with an nvidia 1060 max-q had it disabled for more fps.

Another culprit is the Nvidia overlay. I recommend to turn that off. Should greatly reduce fps spikes.
