CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear shift in component roles depending on the resolution. At 1920x1080, the system shows strong performance with 118 FPS on Low settings, suggesting that the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU. The Ryzen 5 5600G, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, provides sufficient processing power for Rust's simulation and world logic at this resolution. The GPU, however, begins to show its limits as settings increase, with Ultra dropping to 51 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the GPU becomes a more significant factor. The drop from 81 FPS on Low to 54 FPS on Medium is a 27 FPS reduction, which is steeper than the 39 FPS drop seen at 1080p. This pattern indicates that the Intel Arc B570 is working harder at this resolution, and its performance ceiling is being approached more quickly as settings are raised. The CPU's role diminishes here, as the frame rate is increasingly dictated by GPU rendering capabilities.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant bottleneck. The best result is 48 FPS on Low, and even the Medium preset only manages 32 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K shows a dramatic performance loss, indicating that the Arc B570's 10 GB of GDDR6 memory and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for the pixel workload at 4K. The CPU's contribution becomes negligible at this resolution, as the GPU cannot produce enough frames to stress the processor.

The performance scaling between presets also highlights the component balance. At 1080p, going from Low to Medium reduces FPS by 39 FPS, but going from Medium to High only reduces it by 12 FPS. This nonlinear scaling suggests that certain settings have a more significant impact on GPU load than others. The same pattern appears at 1440p, where Low to Medium drops 27 FPS and Medium to High drops 8 FPS.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution is clear: this PC can run Rust at playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, but not at 4K. At 1920x1080, the system clears 60 FPS on Low, Medium, and High presets, with the best playable preset being High at 67 FPS. At 2560x1440, only the Low preset achieves playable performance at 81 FPS. At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS threshold, making 4K gaming impractical with this hardware.

For a 1080p gamer, this combo offers a solid experience with room to adjust settings. The 79 FPS average on Medium is a balanced choice, while High at 67 FPS provides better visuals with a smaller performance cushion. The 51 FPS average on Ultra is a clear indication that the highest settings are beyond this system's capabilities.

For 1440p gaming, the system is limited to Low settings for a consistent 60 FPS experience. The 54 FPS average on Medium with a 46 FPS minimum shows that this preset will experience noticeable dips during intense gameplay. The 81 FPS on Low provides a comfortable margin above the threshold.

The 4K results are straightforward: this hardware is not suited for 4K Rust. The 48 FPS on Low is the maximum achievable, and even that falls well below the playable threshold. The 21 FPS on Ultra is a slideshow by comparison.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, which delivers an average of 67 FPS. This provides a playable experience with higher visual quality than Medium's 79 FPS or Low's 118 FPS. The High preset is the recommended choice for 1080p, as it balances visual fidelity with performance.

At 2560x1440, the only preset that maintains 60 FPS or higher is Low, with an average of 81 FPS. This is the recommended setting for 1440p gaming. The Medium preset at 54 FPS falls short of the threshold, so players seeking smooth performance must use Low.

At 3840x2160, there is no playable preset. The best result is 48 FPS on Low, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. The verdict data confirms that no settings at this resolution are recommended for playable frame rates.

For players prioritizing performance, the 1080p Low preset at 118 FPS offers the highest frame rate of any tested configuration. This is ideal for competitive play or for users with high refresh rate monitors. The 1080p Medium preset at 79 FPS is a strong middle ground, while High at 67 FPS is the best visual option that remains playable.
