As The Subject says above

Anyways i would like to see if anyone with a silmer spec to see how well it perfroms?
With the base game its performs very well and very rarely goes below 60fps on max settings (400% scaling)
I heard that Promods takes a huge hit through GPU wise

So my specs
Intel Core I7-8750H
GTX 1060 (6GB) (M/Laptop)
8GB Ram
1TB HHD
128 SSD

Laptops are never ever recommended for gaming.

You can just try it and see for yourself. If it doesn't run as you please, you can lower your scaling first. That doesn't have much of an effect anyhow.

Some say, I'm addicted to ETS2. But then I say. No, it's ProMods, it's a way of life.
No. 3 forum spammer!

You want a game map?

Thank you for the quick reply yeah I'm aware especially really demanding games it's better to play on desktop dispute the improvements in recent years

I would of gotten one but due to lack of space/portability a gaming laptop was the better choice

Upon looking around it's expected to he the same as a desktop gtx 960/970 still a reasonable card

And seems to run well with other users with similar specs

Again thank you for the response and if any issues come up I make sure to post

You should be just fine, and if you need to, start by lowering scaling to 300% or 200%.

I would normally not recommend Promods on a laptop but both of you have I7 CPUs with a GTX 1060 so it should run ok.

It's all a matter of what you can afford, what your priorities are, and what you are satisfied enough with in-game. I play ATS and ETS2 with or without ProMods (and previously with like 10 other maps as well) on my five-year-old ThinkPad. It's not like I wouldn't want to play with max settings, but it's what I can afford right now and I do just fine.
