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 66 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 165Hz cause visible stuttering. RTX 3060 Ti usage at 83% is the bottleneck.

High GPU Usage

GPU usage hit 83% while CPU sat at 56%. Your RTX 3060 Ti is the bottleneck, upgrade, lower graphics settings or resolution to increase FPS.

Critical RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 96% of 32 GB. Close background apps to free up memory, or upgrade to more RAM.

Critical VRAM Usage

GPU VRAM usage averaged 7.4 of 8 GB (peaked at 94%). Lower graphics settings or resolution to avoid stutters from VRAM pressure.
