Rust

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combination delivers a mixed picture for Rust: it clears the 60 FPS threshold at 1080p and 1440p with specific presets, but falls short at 4K across all settings. The measured data shows a system that is firmly mid-range in the current database, with the CPU ranking in the 78th percentile of all tested processors and the GPU in the 62nd percentile of all tested graphics cards. This pairing produces playable frame rates at two of the three tested resolutions, though the margin at 1440p is narrow enough that settings management becomes critical.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU side of this combination sits in a tight cluster of processors with nearly identical aggregate benchmark scores. The Intel Xeon D-2752TER trails by 0.1 percent, the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U leads by 0.1 percent, the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H trails by 0.1 percent, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U leads by 0.3 percent. Any of these four alternatives would behave essentially the same as the Ryzen 7 5700 in Rust, since their average benchmark scores differ by less than half a percent. The Ryzen 7 5700 itself posts an average benchmark score of 25,517 across all recorded tests, which places it at the 78th percentile of all CPUs in the database.

On the graphics side, the RTX 2060 SUPER has a slightly wider spread of near neighbors. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile trails by 0.4 percent, the AMD Radeon Pro 5700 trails by 0.5 percent, the AMD Radeon RX 460 trails by 1.5 percent, and the Intel Arc A770M trails by 1.6 percent. The RTX 2060 SUPER records an average benchmark score of 18,093, putting it at the 62nd percentile of all GPUs. For Rust specifically, any of these four graphics cards would produce frame rates within roughly two percent of the RTX 2060 SUPER, meaning the playable settings at each resolution would remain essentially unchanged. The RX 460 entry is notable because its aggregate score is close despite being a much older architecture, but the measured Rust data here applies only to the RTX 2060 SUPER.

CPU and GPU Roles

Rust responds to both components, but the scaling pattern across resolutions reveals where each part matters more. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 138.2 FPS, and at 1440p Low it drops to 92.4 FPS, a reduction of about 33 percent. At 4K Low it falls further to 55.8 FPS, another 40 percent drop. This steep decline with resolution indicates that the GPU becomes the limiting factor as pixel count rises, since the CPU workload does not scale with resolution the same way. The Ryzen 7 5700 has 8 cores and 16 threads with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, and its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20,655 and single-core score of 2,916 suggest ample headroom for Rust's simulation and server logic at lower resolutions.

At higher settings, the GPU pressure increases further. At 1080p Ultra the system delivers 56.5 FPS, while at 1080p High it delivers 79.9 FPS, a difference of about 29 percent from one preset step. The same pattern appears at 1440p: Ultra yields 42.5 FPS, High yields 52.7 FPS, and Medium yields 65.4 FPS. This indicates that the RTX 2060 SUPER's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K Ultra result of 25.9 FPS shows the GPU is simply outmatched at that resolution. The CPU, meanwhile, maintains its role as the stable foundation: the 16 threads and 16 MB of L3 cache keep the game logic running without becoming the primary bottleneck at any tested setting.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, which records an average of 79.9 FPS. Low runs at 138.2 FPS and Medium at 94.9 FPS, both also above the threshold, but High offers the best visual quality among the playable options. Ultra falls to 56.5 FPS, below the 60 FPS threshold, so it is not recommended.

At 2560x1440, the best playable preset is Medium, averaging 65.4 FPS. Low runs at 92.4 FPS and is also playable, but Medium provides higher visual fidelity while still clearing the threshold. High drops to 52.7 FPS and Ultra to 42.5 FPS, both below the 60 FPS line.

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS. The closest is Low at 55.8 FPS, followed by Medium at 37.8 FPS, High at 32.4 FPS, and Ultra at 25.9 FPS. None of these are considered playable under the 60 FPS standard used in this database.

The Verdict

This PC can run Rust, but the experience depends heavily on resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, the system clears 60 FPS on High, Low, and Medium presets, with High delivering 79.9 FPS as the best playable option. At 2560x1440, Low and Medium both exceed 60 FPS, with Medium at 65.4 FPS being the highest quality playable setting. At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS; the best result is Low at 55.8 FPS, which is below the playable threshold. The verdict by resolution is clear: 1080p is fully comfortable, 1440p is playable with settings reduced to Medium or below, and 4K is not viable for 60 FPS gameplay with this hardware.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete set of recorded frame rates for Rust with this CPU and GPU combination is as follows:

At 3840x2160, Low averages 55.8 FPS, Medium averages 37.8 FPS, High averages 32.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 25.9 FPS. No minimum or maximum values were recorded for any 4K setting.

At 2560x1440, Low averages 92.4 FPS, Medium averages 65.4 FPS, High averages 52.7 FPS, and Ultra averages 42.5 FPS. Again, no minimum or maximum values are available.

At 1920x1080, Low averages 138.2 FPS, Medium averages 94.9 FPS, High averages 79.9 FPS, and Ultra averages 56.5 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 81.7 FPS, which shows how much headroom exists at lower settings. The 1080p Low result of 138.2 FPS is the highest recorded value across the entire test matrix, while the 4K Ultra result of 25.9 FPS is the lowest.

The pattern across all three resolutions shows a consistent drop of roughly 25 to 30 percent when moving from Low to Medium, and another 15 to 20 percent from Medium to High. The Ultra preset costs an additional 10 to 15 percent over High at every resolution. This consistent scaling suggests the RTX 2060 SUPER has predictable performance characteristics in Rust, with no anomalous spikes or bottlenecks indicated by the data.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested hardware combinations for Rust, this pairing ranks 2,586 out of 3,723 total combinations. That places it in the lower-middle portion of the field, which is consistent with the GPU's 62nd percentile ranking and the CPU's 78th percentile ranking. The rank reflects the fact that while the CPU is reasonably strong, the GPU holds the combination back at higher resolutions and presets. Many combinations with more powerful graphics cards will outperform this setup at 4K and at Ultra settings, but the 1080p and 1440p results are competitive with other mid-range pairings. The rank of 2,586 out of 3,723 means roughly 30 percent of tested combinations score worse, while 70 percent score better, but this is heavily influenced by the 4K results dragging down the overall standing. For 1080p gaming specifically, the combination would rank higher than the overall figure suggests, since the 1080p High result of 79.9 FPS is well above the playable threshold.
