Rust

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is a high-performing combination for Rust, placing in the 82.5th percentile of all tested system combos for this game. With a combo rank of 652 out of 3723 tested configurations, this system sits comfortably in the upper tier of hardware capable of running the survival title. The data indicates that this pairing is far more than sufficient for smooth gameplay, with the RTX 4070 SUPER demonstrating its strength as a 12 GB GDDR6X graphics card that consistently delivers frame rates well above the 60 FPS playable threshold across nearly all tested settings and resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER achieves a rank of 652 out of 3723 tested combos for Rust. This places the system in the top 17.5% of all configurations benchmarked, indicating a strong performance tier. The RTX 4070 SUPER, with its Ada Lovelace architecture and 7168 shading units, is the primary driver of this high ranking. The GPU's percentileVsAllGpus score of 83 means it outperforms 83% of all tested graphics cards, while the Ryzen 7 5700G's percentileVsAllCpus of 79 shows the processor is also well above average. The synergy between the 8-core, 16-thread CPU and the high-end GPU is evident, as the system never dips below the 60 FPS threshold in any playable setting tested, and the rank reflects this capability. The system’s average benchmark score of 27051 for the CPU and 43223 for the GPU further corroborates its position as a powerful mid-to-high-end combination.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains an average of 60 FPS or higher is Ultra, which delivers a robust 108.9 FPS average. This resolution is clearly not a challenge for the RTX 4070 SUPER, as even the most demanding settings produce frame rates that are nearly double the playable threshold. Moving up to 2560x1440, the system again manages the Ultra preset, achieving an average of 73.2 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS playable mark. The performance scaling is linear and predictable here. At 4K (3840x2160), the picture changes slightly. The Ultra preset falls to an average of 43.2 FPS, which is below the playable threshold. However, the High preset at 4K remains playable with an average of 60.4 FPS. The data shows that at 4K, High is the optimal setting, providing a playable experience without sacrificing the fidelity that Ultra offers. Lower settings at 4K, such as Medium (67.5 FPS) and Low (104.5 FPS), also remain playable, but High is the best balance of visual quality and performance.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a clear shift in system bottleneck depending on resolution. At 1920x1080, the GPU is the limiting factor, as the high frame rates (ranging from 193.9 FPS on Low to 108.9 FPS on Ultra) are more dependent on the RTX 4070 SUPER's raw pixel throughput. The CPU's role is less prominent at this resolution, as the 5700G’s 8 cores and 16 threads are sufficient to feed the GPU without becoming a bottleneck. At 2560x1440, the balance shifts slightly. The frame rates drop to a range of 170.8 FPS (Low) to 73.2 FPS (Ultra), indicating that the GPU is still the primary driver, but the CPU is starting to contribute more to the overall performance equation. The most telling evidence is at 3840x2160. Here, the GPU's workload increases substantially, and the frame rate drops to 43.2 FPS at Ultra. This is purely a GPU limitation; the Ryzen 7 5700G is not the constraint at this resolution. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a performance drop of roughly 30-40% across settings, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is more severe, around 40-50%, reinforcing that the GPU is the dominant factor at higher resolutions. The CPU's 16 MB of L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth are sufficient to keep the GPU fed even at 4K, but the GPU's 504.2 GB/s bandwidth is what ultimately caps performance.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G's nearest rivals are all within a 0.6% performance delta. The Intel Core i9-9900K is the closest competitor, with an average benchmark score of 27097, a mere -0.2% delta from the 5700G's score of 27051. This means that in a CPU-bound scenario, the i9-9900K would perform nearly identically. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 is also a close match, with a score of 26936 (0.4% delta), and the Intel Core i7-1370P is slightly behind at 26900 (0.6% delta). The Intel Core i5-14400T is slightly ahead of the 5700G, with a score of 27166 (-0.4% delta). For gaming, any of these CPUs would provide a similar experience, as the differences are within the margin of error. On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 SUPER's nearest rivals are equally close. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB shows an average score of 43262, a -0.1% delta from the 4070 SUPER's 43223. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile is also nearly identical, with a score of 43268 (-0.1% delta). The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (non-24GB) is at 43301 (-0.2% delta), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile is the furthest, at 43667 (-1% delta). In practical terms, a user with any of these GPUs would see nearly identical frame rates in Rust, as the performance differences are negligible.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Rust at 4K with the Ultra settings?

A: No, the data shows that at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the system achieves an average of 43.2 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The High preset is the most demanding playable option at 4K, delivering 60.4 FPS.

Q: What is the playable threshold for this system?

A: The playable threshold is 60 FPS. The system meets this threshold at all settings for 1080p and 1440p, and at Low, Medium, and High settings for 4K. It only fails to reach 60 FPS at 4K Ultra, with an average of 43.2 FPS.

Q: Does the CPU have any rivals that perform better?

A: The Intel Core i5-14400T has an average benchmark score of 27166, which is -0.4% higher than the Ryzen 7 5700G's 27051. However, this difference is negligible and would not result in a perceivable performance difference in Rust.

The Verdict

This PC can definitively run Rust, and it does so with substantial headroom. The verdict by resolution is clear: at 1920x1080, the system can handle the Ultra preset with an average of 108.9 FPS, making it more than capable for high-refresh-rate monitors. At 2560x1440, it also handles Ultra, with an average of 73.2 FPS, offering a smooth and visually rich experience. At 3840x2160, the system remains playable, but users must dial back to the High preset to maintain 60.4 FPS. The 4K Ultra preset is the only configuration that falls below the 60 FPS threshold, at 43.2 FPS. The data confirms that this is a high-performing combination that excels at 1080p and 1440p, and is still fully playable at 4K with reasonable settings adjustments. The RTX 4070 SUPER is the clear workhorse, with the Ryzen 7 5700G providing ample support without limiting the GPU's potential.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates. The Low preset averages 193.9 FPS, while the Medium preset averages 168 FPS. The High preset still produces a very high 143.8 FPS, and the Ultra preset remains smooth at 108.9 FPS. All settings at this resolution are far above the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, performance scales down but remains excellent. The Low preset averages 170.8 FPS, and the Medium preset hits 114.2 FPS. The High preset offers a strong 98.5 FPS, and the Ultra preset maintains a playable 73.2 FPS. This resolution is the sweet spot for visual fidelity and high refresh rates.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is pushed harder. The Low preset still delivers a high 104.5 FPS, and the Medium preset provides 67.5 FPS. The High preset just clears the playable bar at 60.4 FPS. The Ultra preset is the only unplayable configuration, dropping to 43.2 FPS. This breakdown shows that the RTX 4070 SUPER is a versatile card, capable of 4K gaming, but with expected trade-offs at the highest settings.
