Please see this screenshot of task manager (Windows 10): enter image description here

As you can see, for any other game (like Counter Strike, Half Life), software like Adobe Photoshop, the GPU engine is shown GPU 1 (that is my NVIDIA 940MX graphics card).

But the cell under GPU engine is empty for Euro Truck Simulator game. It should either be GPU 0 (Intel HD) or GPU 1. But it's empty.

I noticed it suddenly today, when I realized my game is not that smooth even when I have a good laptop. I had a cheap laptop and had similar performance for the same game.

I also checked NVIDIA settings, where GPU is enabled for this game. See this also:

So what is the issue? Can it be fixed?

Is Euro Truck Simulator 2 CPU or GPU intensive?

^^Correct like most any game (the higher the resolution and quality settings, the more the GPU matters than the CPU). But his question is if ETS2 is more CPU or GPU bound out of the gate. Unless one is running a 720p laptop on integrated graphics with no details cranked up, it's more GPU bound.

Will Euro Truck Simulator 2 work on my laptop?

The specs for Euro Truck simulator 2 are very consumer-friendly so there is a good chance you can run it. All you need is an Intel HD Graphics 4000 or GeForce GTS 450 for your GPU alongside a 2.4 GHz Dual-Core CPU. ETS2 also needs at least 4 GB of RAM to run smoothly.

Which graphics card is best for ETS2?

The game can be played on integrated graphics such as the Intel HD 4000 series. But, according to the developers, for the best experience they recommend a graphics card equal to or better than an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760.
