You should be running directx, otherwise you're wasting your card..

This game is meant to run on Directx with windows..

I have GTX 1080 Ti OC 11gig card, running with an i7 4790, with 16 gig of ram..on windows 7 64 bit..

If I don't run vsync, I get 120+ in the open, but can drop to 45-50 in the city..

People say the games are the same, but, to me, they are different.

I say that because ATS has only ever been 64 bit, whereas ETS2 has really only recently dropped 32 bit..

In ETS2 I rarely drop below 60, maybe a 50+ sometimes in Italy or France cities..

when i run in direct x i get 10 fps everywhere ETS2 100 fps everywhere with DLCs. ATS sucks fps and i dont know why

I find the FPS is about the same ATS often a little better with a 1060. Though it's worth pointing out I use the NVIDIA control panel to let the card do all the work than rely on the game's AA and what not.

You will lose around 10/20FPS if you have hood mirrors in ATS as that is essentially an extra game world rendering per mirror.

Why in God's name would you run an i5 with a GTX1080Ti? Does your motherboard even have enough PCIe lanes to ensure the video card isn't bottlenecked? Need to know how many PCIe lanes your mobo has. Also, what resolution are you running? 1080p? 1440p? 4K?

Need to know more info about your PC, and yes, you definitely should be running in DirectX, no OpenGL.

your comments on bottlenecking 7600K with 1080Ti makes no sense, specially as you think that at 1440p CPU is more utilised than on 1080p which is exact opposite. On 1440p GPU will do most of the workload, while on 1080p CPU is much more utilised. :)

you know how to read i already said i run 1080p for now in opengl i have in ats abot 40-75 fps in ets2 100+ fps everywhere in DIRECTX BOTH GAMES HAVE ~10fps


Also a thing to remember is this is DX9 and newer cards don't really run DX9 as well as they should. When SCS(ATS and ETS2) finally get DX11 out you guys should be golden.

I highly doubt that even the GTX 1080 Ti does max out the PCIe lanes unless it were a B150 or H110 chipset, although I admit that this GPU is a little bit over the top paired with a four core i5. CPU could actually be the part bottlenecking here, but considering ATS uses only one core and said CPU is overclocked, I don't think this is it either.

Nevertheless, said rig should easily handle ATS with maxed settings even at 4k resolution, at least we are talking about the top-end consumer grade GPU dealing with a pretty simple game.

If you have any mods active, remove them temporarily and see if this helps. Outdated graphics mods or truck mods have reportedly caused severe issues. As you are using DLCs, make sure they are installed properly by checking their status in Steam.

Further I suggest removing GPU driver and replacing it with its newest version. Preferably you should pick the driver from NVIDIA directly and not a customized one from ASUS.
Next, lower CPU overclocking. Afaik ATS doesn't mind overclocking, but still it can be a cause for your issue.

Consider also to reinstall DirectX 9[www.microsoft.com], as this is the API to be used by ATS in Windows OSs.

Edit: Newer cards having issues with DirectX 9 is new to me. So far I had no issues with any game that still uses it. Heck, even old Unreal which uses DirectX 8 runs flawlessly with my GTX 1060.

Yea, you didn't say you ran it at 1080p. But since you do, it is very strange that your running into framerate issues. I assume you're running the latest NVidia drivers. Very weird. I'm running an i7 5960X and a GTX 1080 and at 1440p resoultion, and have no problems whatsoever. Running at 1440p, I average about 90fps. Sometimes it'll dip down to around 60fps in cities, and 165fps out in the open desert, but no problems that I can recall otherwise.

As far as the PCI lanes go, since I have no idea what kind of motherboard you're running, I bought up that as being one of the possible issues to rule out.

Have you contacted SCS tech support to see if they can help with the problem?

Go into the nvidia control panel (right click on desktop to access) and look carefully at the ETS 2 driver settings and the ATS settings - there may well be an issue with the ATS settings that need to be changed.

There have been a number of folk experiencing some of these settings reset or change after a Windows update.

motherboard is asrock z170 fatality gaming k6
Dr. Droga Jul 12, 2018 @ 2:47am 
and i5 7600k has plenty of juice for 1080 ti i have no problems with other games like witcher 3 fallout 4 ESO rust csgo wolfenstein 2(graphic settings MEIN LEBEN) on ULTRA --> no lags at all. all my games run over 100fps except csgo 300fps and fallout 4 75fps there is no bottlenecking on cpu.. ATS has been sorted out now i get 180fps out of the city and in the city 90fps everything maxed out no lags

Be interested to know what you did to fix it, so would others who may come across this post looking for answers..

Dr. Droga Jul 12, 2018 @ 5:41am 
i just restored to default in nvidia control panel maybe that was the fix for me idk , but tbh i still think that the ETS2 and ATS arent optimised in directX well and the dev should update their game engine soon as possible. still running in openGL 150+ fps :)
