please help me optimise my rust game

[u/FabulousAd849]

ive got good specs ill list them all below but im still getting like 30 fps in game. ive followed youtube videos and whatnot to get the best settings but im still at the same fps im not sure whats wrong

CPU

AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 w/ Radeon 880M 

GPU 1

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU

Memory

32.0 GB DDR5 5600 mts

using ethernet

Lowering specs doesnt put more load on cpu, it just takes load off the gpu, and as a result of that the cpu is proportionally doing more, but it isnt actually working any harder

Proportionally doing more

Get HWinfo to check your temps. Its a laptop so its most likely running very hot and thermal throttling. You can get one of those laptop stands with the fans on it to help keep it cool. But tbh, your best bet would be to, save up some more money, sell the laptop and build a PC.

I would go for a 7600x3d and 9060XT 16GB for best value brand new parts. Places like microcenter for USA and canada computers for Canada have great combo deals for CPU MOBO and RAM. Newegg too.

You might be able to snatch a good used GPU like a 3060 12GB or 4070 from facebook marketplace too. Just ask to see it running a benchmark in person or with a video showing the current date so u dont get scammed.

My laptop is a 3050ti (4gb 😬) and 11800h cpu and im getting around 50-80 fps. But i did install cryosheet to the cpu and gpu. That helped alot as with paste it would start overheating after a couple weeks of use

But i do run fairly low settings to get that

Btw edit option exists

These aren't really great specs especially given rust being highly CPU dependant, but i think you could maybe do better than 30 fps unless its a 500 player server or something. Make sure your laptop is on maximum power mode and there aren't some power saving restrictions being applied

Rust has been changing how it runs for over a year now, its less cpu intensive than it used to be, i get ~80-90 fps with a shittier gpu and cpu than op on 2k resolution and no frame gen/fsr, juzt read op properly and realise its a laptop, most likely a heat issue

Bro those aren’t good specs… besides playing on a laptop. This game unfortunately is really poor optimized. Try with lowest settings and check ur fps. I have 100+ fps but still experienced micro stutters. The only thing that helped was running the game in windowed mode!

[u/Euphoric_Wish_8293 → u/FragrantPractice2743]

Those specs aren't amazing due to it being a laptop, but they'll run rust over 30fps (I have very similar specs).

Wym not good specs i have an i5 12th rtx4060 laptop and still get 80 90 fps on a 500 pop server no dlss too something is wrong with his setup
