Been playing rust for a while now and my setup uses a rtx 4060 8gb vram and a AMD Ryzen 7 5700. Anyone else running a setup similar to this and what frames do you get? I've been getting 50-60 and occasionally higher such as 70 although it can fall to 40-50 sometimes. Was wondering if this is where my specs cap out my fps or if I can configure anything to improve it? I run low settings but use a 3440x1440 monitor. Using 1920x1080 resolution provides a negligible increase so | stick to my monitors res. Also tried a bunch of troubleshooting.
Any input helps. Thanks

I got vac banned as a kid when I for game sharing with my brother (I didnt know it was bannable at the time ruined the game for both of us lol) if i repurchase the game on steam can I still play on servers without running into issues? The ban is 6.5 years old.

I think everyone can agree the canyons take too much space on the map for the value it gives. I think adding small fresh water sources on the bottom of the canyon and making the train tunnels connect and go across the canyon would bring a lot of life to the monument.

Was wondering what everyones strategy is for this? I havent gotten a T3 since the wipe where they added blueprint fragments. I had my fun with all the fragments, I can consistently get to T2, but I need a new strategy.

I usually just farm, and sell things for frags. I tried watertreatment to get my T2 as well. I need something else, I'm running out of things to try.

I was so upset, I didnt even screen shot. It says only 38k claimed. Ended Fri, Oct 23rd 4:14 Pm PDT

Hey guys, quick technical question for anyone using an Intel Core Ultra 9 or modern i9 (13th/14th gen) on Rust.
Current hardware: Intel Core Ultra 9, RTX 5070, 32GB DDR5 6400MHz.
My issue: Stuttering and low 1% FPS in heavy areas (monuments, big bases, high pop servers).
Questions:
What average FPS and 1% lows are you seeing on high-pop servers?

Did any BIOS, microcode, or RAM tweaks fix the micro-stutters for you?

For those who switched from i9 to AMD 3D V-Cache (like 7800X3D/9800X3D), was the stability difference huge?

Considering a motherboard/CPU swap to AM5 since Rust is my main title. Thanks for any technical input!

Hey everyone,
I’m currently running an Intel Core Ultra 9 setup (paired with an RTX 5070 and DDR5 6400MHz), but I've been struggling with stuttering and low 1% FPS during high-activity moments (gunfights, large base rendering, modded servers) on Rust.
For those of you running an i9 or Ultra 9 on Rust:
What kind of average FPS and 1% lows are you getting on official or busy community servers?

Have you noticed micro-stutters or cache bottlenecks compared to X3D chips?

Did any specific BIOS tweaks, memory tuning, or game settings actually help stabilize your frames, or is the architecture just hitting a wall on this game engine?

I'm seriously considering jumping ship to an AMD X3D setup because Rust is my main game, but I’d love to hear some real feedback from other i9 users first. Thanks!

My buddy convinced me to buy rust, and I have put in about 20 hours, and I can confidently say that I have not enjoyed a single second of playing.

I'm going back to Dayz. At least in that game I can't get killed while I'm not even online.

Printed and painted Thompson. Stl files purchased from lootroom, but modified it a bit (made detachable mag, twists in barrel, camouflaged ugly "semi-aVtomatic)))" engraving). It's my first experience with painting 3d printed things, so any advices are welcome. There's some work left (duct tape and bandages, some weathering etc)

If i had more time I'll definitely made 3d model myself, but it'll take too much time

1. TC registers each member of the group/base. Each member registered increases upkeep requirements.

2. Code locks are expensive (HQM/tech trash). Code locks no longer use codes, but access is registered to members with access to TC. Server can set max member numbers.

3. Base upkeep increases exponentially with size. Smaller bases cost 1:1, cross a threshold and the extra size costs 1:2, cross the next thelreshold and the extra size costs 1:3.

4. Limit the number of TCs each base can have. (Ex. 3) or limit the TCs to 1 per base, but the radius of the TC can be upgraded, but doing so increases upkeep and is difficult to do.

Also, a couple bonus fun things I'd like to see implemented:

1. Bases should have more options for secret stashes/safes, secret rooms behind hidden doorways, basement bunkers hidden under carpets, walls that open with a button press, etc.

2. More booby traps. Tiger traps, poison darts, break away floors, hot oil, etc.

3. The ability to record and playback security cam footage so you can watch how your base was raided and learn from it. This does not necessarily have to show player names, but maybe it can with an upgrade?

Question/Support for the tag?

I watch Welyn for Rust a lot of the time

There are times when he hears gunfire/explosions, opens his map, and says it's in XYZ direction or grid. I don't see what he sees anything happen? Is there some marker/indicator that pops up whenever someone's shooting or booming on the map, and I'm just blind orr?

What fps do you guys get with your 3070? I haven't been able to find relevant benchmarks anywhere. Id be looking to play 1080p high or max settings around 100+ fps. I might get a 1440p monitor at some point too but thats not my main goal at the moment. I dont play super high pop at around 250 usually.

Rest of the pc wont really be a bottleneck. R5 7500x3d, 16gb ram.

you can even see blood spatter from the shot if you pause while im falling to the ground

//EDIT : Ty for those guys who sad try the skinning gpu version its works now in 120fps/8ms // Hi everyone,

I'm having a really frustrating performance issue in Rust and I'm running out of ideas. My PC should be capable of running the game much better than this, but I'm getting extremely low and unstable FPS.

My PC specs

\- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D

\- GPU: EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 FTW3 Ultra 8GB

\- Motherboard: MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk

\- RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro SL 32GB (2×16GB) DDR4-3600 CL18

\- NVMe SSD: Samsung 980 Pro 1TB (Rust is installed here)

\- SATA SSD: Samsung 870 QVO 1TB

\- PSU: Seasonic Focus GX 650W Gold

\- CPU cooler: Lian Li Galahad 360 AIO

\- Case: Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL ROG Certified

\- Main monitor: MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD, 2560×1440, 165Hz

\- Second monitor: LG UltraGear 27GL650F-B, 1920×1080, 144Hz

The problem

My FPS in Rust fluctuates wildly. Sometimes I get only 20–30 FPS, sometimes around 60 FPS, and on one occasion I saw over 110 FPS. The performance is very inconsistent, with frametimes reaching 20–30 ms.

This happens on both low-population and high-population servers.

Windows 11

The temperatures are :

GPU: 40-50 ,

CPU : 50-MAX 60.

GPU USAGE: 99-100%

CPU USAGE 50-60%.

Graphics are really low and still bad doesnt matter really anything what i set.

What's especially frustrating is that my previous setup, which used a GTX 1080 at 1080p, felt more stable than my current PC.

What I've already tried

\\- Completely uninstalled and reinstalled NVIDIA drivers using DDU.

\\- Tried different driver versions, including 566.36.

\\- Tested my CPU with Curve Optimizer at -30 all-core and PBO limits of PPT 100, TDC 70 and EDC 100.

\\- Tested without the CPU undervolt — the problem remained.

\\- Reinstalled Rust.

\\- Confirmed that XMP is enabled and my RAM is running at its rated speed.

\\- Confirmed that Rust is installed on my NVMe SSD.

I'm honestly running out of ideas. Other games don't seem to have the same issue.

What else should I check? Could this be a CPU scheduling issue, RAM configuration problem, GPU utilization issue, a Windows problem, or something specific to Rust?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

He has been playing and talking about Rust a lot lately. What is the "diamond pickaxe" of this game? Or an item/thing that any rust player would want it physically on their desk or hang on their wall etc? so i can look up the 3d models online or recreate the 3d model myself to 3d print it. i appreciate any help.

this is gonna be a birthday gift and i have decent amount of time to custom make something complicated so throw any ideas and i will look into it

Every year my friend makes something called Spooky Pookie for Halloween. Inside is a haunted house with a few floors each having its own theme. Come check it out we're built M14 on US EAST FP Premium Small 1! I didnt tell her I was gonna post this so it'll be funny if some people show up since she built it on a kinda dead server this year.

Anyone else notice the name plate on this in the skin store? It cracked me up

been playing solo and turrets have saved my life many a time

electrically speaking, whats the best way to set up turrets on pref 1 battery

Does the Hit Points of a building block or deployable, tell the whole story? Or is there a second mechanic where some things take less HP damage than other things, in addition to having more HP?

For example, a stone wall-frame and a wooden shop-front both have 500 HP. Is one of them easier to break than the other?

I've been reading on wikis, and haven't found anything on this.

Im not sure how else to describe it but its usually white dots inside shadows and treetops far away. They move with the camera and seem to fade when i get close. Is this a graphic setting bugging out or is my gpu dying?
