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 103 FPS and the 1% low is 41 FPS. A small gap between average and 1% low means consistent frame delivery with minimal stuttering.

Tips & Tricks6

Moderate 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 41 FPS, frame drops below 144Hz cause visible stuttering. CPU peaked at 92°C, thermal throttling detected.

Low Utilization

GPU at 43% and CPU at 44%, neither is fully loaded, yet 1% low FPS drops below your 144Hz refresh rate.

Critical CPU Temp

CPU peaked at 92°C, thermal throttling detected. Reapply thermal paste, clean dust, or improve case airflow.

Critical RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 97% of 16 GB. Close background apps to free up memory, or upgrade to more RAM.

Critical VRAM Usage

GPU VRAM usage averaged 7.2 of 8 GB (peaked at 94%). Lower graphics settings or resolution to avoid stutters from VRAM pressure.

FPS Limit 144

Max FPS reached 240 of 144 cap. Remove the 144 FPS limit in Rust settings to increase FPS.

Answers About Your Benchmark

speedHow many FPS does RTX 3060 Ti get in Rust at 4K?expand_more

RTX 3060 Ti delivers 103 FPS average in Rust at 4K. 1% lows hit 41 FPS. Some frame drops during demanding scenes.

compressIs Ryzen 7 5800X3D bottlenecking RTX 3060 Ti in Rust?expand_more

No bottleneck detected. Ryzen 7 5800X3D (44%) and RTX 3060 Ti (43%) are well balanced.

memoryIs 16GB RAM enough for Rust?expand_more

Rust used 91% of 16GB RAM. Running tight, upgrading to 32GB is recommended if you multitask.

thermostatWhat are normal GPU and CPU temperatures while gaming?expand_more

The RTX 3060 Ti reached 68°C and the Ryzen 7 5800X3D reached 91°C. On the warm side, check your case airflow and thermal paste.

trending_downWhat does 1% low FPS mean?expand_more

The lowest FPS drops, your lag spikes. Here it's 41 FPS vs 103 FPS average. The gap suggests noticeable frame drops during intense scenes.

boltHow do I get more FPS in Rust?expand_more

Both GPU and CPU are well balanced, lowering graphics quality or resolution will give you the biggest FPS boost. Your temperatures are high, clean your fans, check case airflow, or repaste your cooler. Thermal throttling kills FPS. Check the Tips & Tricks section above for specific fixes based on your benchmark data, including background apps, driver issues, and hardware settings.
