How American Truck Simulator runs on the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Our estimate puts the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB at about 57 fps on High at 1080p in American Truck Simulator, which means it runs acceptably. On Low the same card manages about 109 fps, and on Ultra about 41.

The graphics card is the limit here, so lowering the resolution or the quality preset is what raises your frame rate.

For a steady 60 fps, our estimate says: 1080p: Medium (about 80 fps); 1440p: Low (about 78 fps); 4K: under 60 fps at every preset, best is 44 fps on Low.

Settings advice

American Truck Simulator lists 8 GB of RAM (recommending 12 GB) and a processor of the Intel Core i5-9600 class. Our estimate assumes a processor that does not limit the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, so enter yours in the checker above if it is older than that.

The cheapest card we list that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p is a GeForce RTX 3050 6GB (launch price $169), and until then upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS, if American Truck Simulator offers it) and one resolution step down are the biggest wins.
