Is it going to run ETS 2?

#1 Post by Emmanuel Gumbi » 02 Sep 2024 17:36

Hello there guys, how are you doing today?

This is Emmanuel but they call me Max. I'm not sure, maybe someone had asked similar question, but the difference here is the kind of computer that I have attached here. I also went through the Specs requirements of ETS 2 , but I got challenged here because I don't know if this one is below or above the requirements. I'm asking as someone who wants to upgrade little by little. So I need something to build on.

It's my first time being here and I trust you guys, please give me honest answers.

Hello

My computer has all of the following installed:

Processor AMD Ryzen 5 5600 6-Core Processor 3.50 GHz Turboboost up to 4.40 GHz
Installed RAM 64.0 GB
3 HDDs with 2 x 2 TB and one x 4 TB
4 SSD cards with three x 500 GB and one x 1 TB
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 with Vram DDR 6 6GB
Mainboard is an Asus Tuf Gaming B450-Plus II
Operating system Windows 11 64-bit

Let's look at the ETS 2 requirement:

Minimum:
OS: Windows 10 64-bit
Processor: Intel Core i5-6400 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 or similar
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 or AMD Radeon RX 460 or Intel HD 630 (2GB VRAM)
Hard Drive: 25 GB available space (Euro Truck Simulator 2 base game)

Recommended:
OS: Windows 10 64-bit
Processor: Intel Core i5-9600 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or similar
Memory: 12 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 or AMD Radeon RX 590 (2GB RAM)
Hard Drive: 25 GB available space (Euro Truck Simulator 2 base game)

I loaded my ETS 2 onto an SSD card with a read speed of 3500 MB and a write speed of 3250 MB, that's twice as much, so far it's been running without any problems.
So you can see from my data above that my computer far exceeded the recommended one. But I never compare computers with others, so I would increase the RAM memory to 2 x 16 GB.
I can't say anything about your graphics card because it isn't shown in your picture. What kind of graphics card do you have and how much VRam memory does it have?

Regards

Judging by the fact it has a celeron CPU onboard, it probably doesn't have a dedicated GPU.
I wouldn't touch that with a mile long stick unless I wanted to use it exclusively for office work.
If you don't have the budget, buy used. But for the love of all that's holy avoid anything that does not have an Nvidia or AMD graphics card.
Not to mention from a shop that lists the hard drive as 256TB.

That's exactly where I completely agree with you, Aziz.

>4GB RAM.
That's barely enough to run the system and maybe excel.
Read the minimum requirements listed above and start from there, otherwise you're not gonna have a good time.

I have to agree with you again.

Your system is simply too weak for very low requirements, so I have to ask how old is your computer?

Nowdays minimum 16gb of ram in dual channel. The NVMe ssd is also an minimum. For the cpu the minimum performance level should be i3-12gen. For the graphics card minimum performance level of rtx 3060(it could be gpus with lower performance if you play only ets2 or low gpu demanding games, but at least with 8gb vram) . Anythink below for Gaming pc is pointless and it would be throwing money into the trash.

I've managed to run ETS2 on the laptop with: i3-5005U, 8 GB of RAM (one stick), 512 GB SSD on the minimum settings and low amounts of mods.

Celeron I've recently used by myself (N4020) had UHD Graphics 600 on board. The OP's one have UHD Graphics 710.
And G9000 is actually by the quarter better than my 5005u i3 CPU, while the UHD Graphics 710 - 2x better than my GF 920M.

So OP - go for it. Just add some RAM, if you don't have 16 GB, just to be safe (I've noticed some crashes with heavier mods (like ProMods pack) when I had just 8 GB).

I'm thinking about upgrading my old PC - for SCS games only - (AMD FX-8370, GTX 1060 6GB, 16GB RAM), what should I choose to play freely at 60 fps FHD with max settings? Setups with Core i3 (12th gen and up) and RTX 3050 are on my mind but I'm afraid that might be not enough... Maybe some of you have similar experience? Thanks in advance!
