You should really have a minimum of 16gb system memory. if you notice the other post on here with the older gpu he has 16gb system memory,

I run 8gb ram do fine in ATS and ETS2. You dont need 16 gb makes no difference in frame rates in ATS and majority of games. I have 1070 gtx and I5 3570k with 8gb you will be fine.

But he is running a overclocked AMD cpu, this is just my expeience with cpu overclocking and memory. memory for his system isn't very exspensive so another 8 gb wouldn't hurt, it might even help with other programs he has.

True I may just need another 8gb

I used to have a PC with worse specs then that and could get about 30 FPS on low settings. There is something not right.

You do know that both ETS2 and ATS have poor fps in cities yes? But for the cost of ram for your system I would try with 16. I run everything maxed with my OLD system and with vsync off I get up to 80 fps on the open road and 50+ in the city, I run a 122 hz 29 inch wide screen.
my specs
asus sabertooth x58
intel i7 970 6 core at 4.0ghz
24gb gskill ripjaws
msi gtx 1070 gaming
2 ssd's
1 hdd for games which is a wd velociraptor
I have a large amount of ram as I edit videos.
soon I will be building a new intel i9 system as I need more ram for editing and my current boards max is 24gb

and you have more than 8gb ram as I been trying to make my point on. by the way the MSI GTX 1070 Gaming is overclocked by MSI, thats why it's called the gaming edition. unless of course you used MSI Afterburner to down clock it to stock speed.

@Civ.Monroe - my PC was acting sluggish. So I shut down my PC and then reboot it. It was installing updates to my PC. Have you done this? And have you gotten the lastest driver for your graphic card?

I run my ivylake potato i5 3570k at 4K HDTV get avg of 50 frames on my 1070gtx gpu but I stick vanilla ATS and throw out mods not optimized.

Anything above 50 fps outside urban areas is acceptable. Play online with other drivers oh course frame rates will drop if person is driving modded truck.

I've got a AMD 8350,GTX 1060 6GB, 16GB Ram and I can run it at 2560 x 1440 resolution 400% scaling with just a slight flicker every now and then when it loads more map. Everything set to High except mirror view distance I have on medium.I turned off vsync and AA in the game and set it up thru the 3D profiler in the Nvidia control panel to have my GPU handle it. I'm using adaptive vsync thru my GPU set at half refresh. I get 30 FPS and it runs smooth as glass. If I try and run it at full refresh rate 60MHZ it lags a lot.

Edit: I also don't use the front mirrors for the truck. They are a huge drain on FPS.

The extra 8 gb of ram sure helps
Thats my typo, Its out of the box,the 1070.
In new mexico im seeing 50-55 in towns and have seen upto 100 fps out side of them
