Rust

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers a robust Rust experience across all tested resolutions, with the data showing a clear path to 60+ FPS at every setting tier except for Ultra at 4K. Benchmark results indicate that this combination is more than capable of handling the survival title, though the most demanding preset at the highest resolution will require a slight compromise.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the combo shows its limits under maximum load. The Ultra preset averages 41.9 FPS, which falls well below the 60 FPS playability threshold. Dropping to High improves the situation significantly, yielding an average of 56.1 FPS — still marginally under the target. The Medium preset crosses the line with an average of 66.2 FPS, while Low settings produce a much smoother 105 FPS average. The scaling here is steep: moving from Low to Medium costs roughly 39 FPS, and the jump from Medium to Ultra removes another 24 FPS, indicating that 4K is heavily dependent on GPU headroom.

At 2560x1440, the picture brightens considerably. The Low preset delivers an average of 164.7 FPS, which is exceptionally high for a survival game with dense environments. Medium follows at 117 FPS, High at 100.9 FPS, and Ultra at 75 FPS. Every preset clears the 60 FPS bar with room to spare. The delta between Low and Ultra is 89.7 FPS, showing that even at 1440p, the RTX 4070 SUPER has enough compute to absorb higher visual fidelity without dropping below playable levels. The data suggests that 1440p is the sweet spot for this pairing, offering high refresh rates even at maximum settings.

At 1920x1080, the combo is thoroughly dominant. Low settings produce an average of 186.2 FPS, Medium hits 161.5 FPS, High reaches 141.7 FPS, and Ultra still manages 110.8 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 75.4 FPS, which indicates that the CPU-GPU balance is well-matched at this resolution — neither component becomes a severe bottleneck until the lowest presets. Even at Ultra, the frame rate exceeds 100 FPS, making 1080p gaming exceptionally fluid. Notably, the gap between Medium and High at 1080p is only 20.2 FPS, while the jump from High to Ultra is 30.9 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra preset imposes a disproportionately larger load.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo run Rust at 60 FPS in 4K?

A: Yes, but only on Low or Medium presets. The data shows Low averaging 105 FPS and Medium averaging 66.2 FPS at 3840x2160, while High and Ultra fall short at 56.1 and 41.9 FPS respectively.

Q: What is the best preset for 1440p gaming?

A: Ultra is fully playable at 2560x1440, with an average of 75 FPS. All four presets — Low (164.7), Medium (117), High (100.9), and Ultra (75) — exceed the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: How does the Ultra preset perform at 1080p?

A: The Ultra preset at 1920x1080 averages 110.8 FPS, which is well above the playable threshold. This makes it the best visual option for full HD without sacrificing smoothness.

Q: Is there a resolution where the combo struggles?

A: Only at 4K with High or Ultra settings. High averages 56.1 FPS and Ultra averages 41.9 FPS, both below the 60 FPS line. Medium and Low are fine.

Q: What is the frame rate difference between 1080p and 1440p at High settings?

A: At High settings, 1080p averages 141.7 FPS while 1440p averages 100.9 FPS, a difference of 40.8 FPS. This indicates a moderate GPU load increase when moving up a resolution.

Q: Does the combo rank high among tested configurations?

A: This specific combination ranks 686th out of 3723 tested combos in Rust, placing it in the top ~18% of all tested systems, which aligns with its strong 1080p and 1440p results.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, which produces an average of 66.2 FPS. Low also works at 105 FPS, but Medium offers a better visual balance while maintaining a comfortable margin above the threshold.

For 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, averaging 75 FPS. This is a notable achievement, as it allows players to max out visuals at 1440p without dipping below the playable line.

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 110.8 FPS. The headroom here is substantial, leaving room for future patches or additional background tasks.

The Verdict

The data confirms that this PC can run Rust effectively at all three tested resolutions, but with caveats at 4K. At 3840x2160, the system is playable on Low (105 FPS) and Medium (66.2 FPS), but High (56.1) and Ultra (41.9) fall short of the 60 FPS target. At 2560x1440, every preset clears the threshold, with Ultra reaching 75 FPS, making it the recommended resolution for a fully maxed-out experience. At 1920x1080, all presets are playable, and Ultra still delivers 110.8 FPS, so there is no practical limitation at full HD. The verdictByResolution data reinforces this: 1440p and 1080p are fully playable across all settings, while 4K requires dropping to Medium or below. In short, this combo is a strong performer for Rust, excelling at mainstream resolutions and offering a viable 4K experience only with reduced settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a clear division of labor between the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, depending on resolution. At 3840x2160, the GPU is the dominant factor. The frame rate drops sharply as settings increase: Low (105) to Medium (66.2) to High (56.1) to Ultra (41.9). This pattern indicates that the RTX 4070 SUPER’s rendering load scales almost linearly with visual complexity, and the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU at 4K. The 63.1 FPS difference between Low and Ultra is almost entirely attributable to GPU shader and memory pressure.

At 2560x1440, the balance shifts slightly. The frame rates are higher across the board (Low at 164.7, Ultra at 75), and the scaling from Medium to Ultra is less punishing than at 4K — a 42 FPS drop versus a 24.3 FPS drop at 4K over the same preset range. This suggests that the CPU begins to play a more meaningful role at 1440p, as the Ryzen 5 5600G’s six cores and 12 threads can keep up with the GPU’s output more effectively. The 89.7 FPS spread from Low to Ultra at 1440p is larger than the 4K spread, implying that lower resolution reduces GPU bottleneck and exposes CPU capabilities.

At 1920x1080, the CPU becomes the primary limiter at lower presets. The jump from Low (186.2) to Medium (161.5) is only 24.7 FPS, while the jump from Medium to High is 19.8 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 30.9 FPS. The fact that Ultra still holds 110.8 FPS indicates that the GPU is not fully saturated; instead, the Ryzen 5 5600G’s single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1409) is what caps the maximum frame rate. The data shows that at 1080p, the CPU’s threading capabilities matter more, while the GPU’s raw throughput becomes the deciding factor as resolution climbs to 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific pairing of AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER ranks 686th out of 3723 tested combos in Rust, placing it in the upper fifth of all configurations. The percentile data for each component supports this position: the CPU sits at the 74th percentile among all processors, while the GPU is at the 83rd percentile among all graphics cards. In terms of direct rivals, the CPU’s average benchmark score of 21088 is nearly identical to the Intel Core i3-1220P (21066, delta 0.1%), the Intel Core Ultra 7 256V (21112, delta -0.1%), and the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U (21133, delta -0.2%), meaning the 5600G is not a performance outlier but rather a solid mid-pack Zen 3 part. The GPU’s average score of 43223 is likewise competitive, sitting within 1% of the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (43262), the RTX 5050 Mobile (43268), and the RTX 4090 Mobile (43667). The rank of 686 suggests that while the combo is strong, it is far from the top — likely due to the CPU’s modest core count compared to higher-end Ryzen 7 or Ryzen 9 options. The measured FPS data, however, shows that this rank translates into excellent real-world performance for Rust, particularly at 1440p and 1080p, where the combo consistently delivers high frame rates.
