FPS drop

[Ninomae Lanceris]

I'm having an FPS drop in the cities and i don't know why is that
I have pretty good PC (RTX 3060Ti | i7-11700F | 32Gb) and this game is still can't give me more than 30-40 fps in cities
PC is not loaded by anything, GPU is fully loaded by ETS2, still FPS drop when parking and it makes it uncomfortable

Try using V-Sync in game...and set everything in NVIDIA Control Panel to DEFAULT.
I have tried every possible tweak and "fix" and nothing works to reduce frame drops and stuttering except V-Sync in game. I have a 144hz laptop display @ 1080P and I set V-Sync to Economic (saves power on laptops) and it locks my frames to 72FPS (half of my 144hz)
I have my scaling set to 300% and everything set to High and Ultra except mirrors are at Medium (all 3 settings) I also have Secondary Vehicle Lights turned off and In-game Antialiasing OFF and In-Game SSAO OFF... These settings work well for me.

My Gaming Laptop is a Lenovo Y740...I7 9750H...RTX2070 Max-Q 16GB and 144hz Display @ 1080P
With your PC you should be able to run 400% scaling and everything High and Ultra but try to reduce mirrors to Medium...they are notoriously frame killers....Also..if you are running a 60hz Display then V-Sync will lock your frames at 60FPS which should be nice and stable....otherwise it will lock at whatever your refresh rate is (or set to if you have a variable refresh monitor)

Hope any of this helps!

Are you using any mods?

[Cotaks]

let me guess you got the render option on 400% in gamesettings? reduce it. 200 should be fine.

No, it's 125

Disabling secondary vehicle lights and SSAOhelped and made it stable 50-60 which i'm comfortable with
I firstly thought that it was because of 1440p 155hz display, but chaning it to 1080p didn't make difference
Thanks

@Ninomae - secondary vehicle lights should not affect FPS so much, try to turn it on and see the difference. By the way, scaling 125% is much better than 100%? Can notice it?

I don't see an effect of scaling higher than 100%
I was on crossroads in a rush it was 40-30 fps, turned off SSAO and SVL - 50-60

[kaki_gamet]

@Ninomae - thank you, was just curious about why you wrote you have scaling at 125% ; )

SSAO is one of those features, the majority of players turning off. The very little visual effect just doesn't justify the performance impact.

Wish developers optimized their game better

You can not do much in the regard of SSAO:

It is just very GPU intense. And depending on your scaling and set resoultion (and amount of monitors) it can get extremely GPU intense.

SVL will drag frames down when you come upon any vehicles with a beacon or when a police or fire truck is present...the strobe effect is eliminated with SVL OFF and you will still see the lights...but not the strobe.

Why do you use 400% scaling,how usefull is scaling !?

I am currently using 300% scaling....400% would only look better...if your rig can handle it.
scaling is the most intensive setting...the difference between 100-400 % in 1080P is very noticeable....if you are running 1440P or 4K resolution then you would probably run 200% for 1440P and 100% for 4K with equal quality.....so higher resolution needs lower scaling and vice versa.
