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 82 FPS and the 1% low is 49 FPS. A small gap between average and 1% low means consistent frame delivery with minimal stuttering.

Tips & Tricks5

Moderate 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 49 FPS, frame drops below 200Hz cause visible stuttering. CPU peaked at 100°C, thermal throttling detected.

Critical CPU Temp

CPU peaked at 100°C, thermal throttling detected. Reapply thermal paste, clean dust, or improve case airflow.

Critical RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 99% 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 93%). 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.

Answers About Your Benchmark

speedHow many FPS does RTX 4060 get in Rust at 1080p?expand_more

RTX 4060 delivers 82 FPS average in Rust at 1080p. 1% lows hit 49 FPS. Some frame drops during demanding scenes.

compressIs i5-12400F bottlenecking RTX 4060 in Rust?expand_more

No bottleneck detected. i5-12400F (77%) and RTX 4060 (63%) are well balanced.

memoryIs 16GB RAM enough for Rust?expand_more

Rust used 94% 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 4060 reached 53°C and the i5-12400F reached 100°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 49 FPS vs 82 FPS average. A small gap means consistent frame delivery.

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.
