Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra. The measured average FPS at Ultra is 107.7. This is the highest quality setting available, and it more than doubles the playable threshold. No setting at this resolution comes close to falling below 60 FPS, as even the most demanding preset maintains a comfortable margin.

At 2560x1440, the best playable preset is also Ultra, with an average FPS of 73.8. This is above the 60 FPS threshold, but the margin is smaller than at 1080p. The High preset runs at 97.4 FPS, Medium at 116 FPS, and Low at 173.1 FPS, but Ultra is the most demanding option that still clears the bar.

For 3840x2160, the situation changes. The Ultra preset averages 42.2 FPS and High averages 56.6 FPS, both below the 60 FPS threshold. The best playable setting is Medium, which averages 67.7 FPS. This is the highest quality preset that remains playable at 4K. The Low preset is also playable at 103.5 FPS, but Medium offers better visual fidelity while still exceeding 60 FPS.

The Verdict

The data shows this PC can run Rust at all three tested resolutions, but the quality ceiling varies. At 1920x1080, every preset from Low to Ultra is playable, with the Ultra preset averaging 107.7 FPS. This is a definitive yes for 1080p gaming, with plenty of headroom above the 60 FPS threshold. At 2560x1440, the verdict is also positive across the board. The Ultra preset maintains an average of 73.8 FPS, which is playable, and lower presets offer even higher frame rates. This makes 1440p a sweet spot for this combo, offering high visual quality without sacrificing smoothness.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is conditional. The High and Ultra presets fall below 60 FPS, with 56.6 FPS and 42.2 FPS respectively. However, the Medium preset averages 67.7 FPS, which is playable. The Low preset averages 103.5 FPS. Therefore, the system can handle 4K, but only if the user is willing to dial back settings to Medium or lower. The best playable setting at 4K is Medium, providing a stable experience above the threshold. The overall verdict is that this combo is fully capable for 1080p and 1440p gaming, and it is functional at 4K with moderate settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a detailed look at performance across all combinations of resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are consistently high. The Low preset averages 190.4 FPS, which is the highest score in the entire dataset. Medium averages 164.1 FPS, High averages 140.2 FPS, and Ultra averages 107.7 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 82.7 FPS, showing that Rust scales significantly with quality settings at this resolution. All values are far above the 60 FPS playable threshold, indicating that users have complete freedom to choose any preset without performance concerns.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong but show a wider gap. Low averages 173.1 FPS, which is still very high. Medium averages 116 FPS, and High averages 97.4 FPS. The Ultra preset averages 73.8 FPS, which is the minimum playable value at this resolution but still comfortably above the threshold. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 99.3 FPS, demonstrating that resolution scaling has a noticeable impact. The data shows that even the most demanding preset at 1440p stays above 60 FPS, making this resolution entirely viable for high-quality play.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops significantly. Low averages 103.5 FPS, which is still excellent for 4K. Medium averages 67.7 FPS, just above the threshold. High averages 56.6 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS line, and Ultra averages 42.2 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 61.3 FPS. This data clearly shows that the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K, as the CPU’s performance is sufficient to support even the lowest preset at over 100 FPS. The High and Ultra settings at 4K are not playable according to the 60 FPS standard, but Medium and Low offer playable experiences.

The absence of min and max FPS values in the data means that only average frame rates are available for analysis. However, the averages alone provide a clear picture: this combo delivers smooth gameplay at 1080p and 1440p across all settings, and at 4K only with reduced quality.

How This Combo Ranks
