What does 1% low FPS mean in Rust benchmarks?

The 1% low FPS measures the worst-case frame rate during gameplay, the FPS that 99% of frames exceed. In this benchmark, the average is 45 FPS and the 1% low is 28 FPS. A small gap between average and 1% low means consistent frame delivery with minimal stuttering.

Tips & Tricks4

Low 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 28 FPS, frame drops below 144Hz cause visible stuttering. Peak RAM usage at 92% is the bottleneck.

Critical RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 92% of 32 GB. Close background apps to free up memory, or upgrade to more RAM.

Critical VRAM Usage

GPU VRAM usage averaged 7.3 of 8 GB (peaked at 96%). Lower graphics settings or resolution to avoid stutters from VRAM pressure.

FPS Limit 240

FPS was capped to 240 but it was not reached. Remove the FPS limit in Rust settings for reliable data.

compressIs i7-8700K bottlenecking RTX 4060 in Rust?expand_more

No CPU bottleneck. RTX 4060 is the limiting factor at 96% usage, while i7-8700K has headroom at 61%. This is normal, most games are GPU-bound.

memoryIs 32GB RAM enough for Rust?expand_more

Rust used 82% of 32GB RAM. Running tight, upgrading to 32GB is recommended if you multitask.

thermostatWhat are normal GPU and CPU temperatures while gaming?expand_more

The RTX 4060 reached 56°C and the i7-8700K reached 59°C. Both within safe limits for gaming.

trending_downWhat does 1% low FPS mean?expand_more

The lowest FPS drops, your lag spikes. Here it's 28 FPS vs 45 FPS average. A small gap means consistent frame delivery.

boltHow do I get more FPS in Rust?expand_more

Your GPU is maxed out, lower resolution, turn down ray tracing and shadows, or cap your frame rate. Check the Tips & Tricks section above for specific fixes based on your benchmark data, including background apps, driver issues, and hardware settings.
