Rust

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Intel Arc B370 in Rust shows a clear performance ceiling imposed by the graphics side. At 3840x2160, the results are uniformly below playable thresholds. The Low preset averages 28 FPS, which is the best result at this resolution. Medium drops to 19 FPS on average, with minimum and maximum readings of 16 and 22 FPS respectively. High falls further to 16 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 12 FPS. None of these figures approach the 60 FPS playable threshold defined in the database.

Moving to 2560x1440, the pattern repeats but with modest gains. Low settings produce an average of 48 FPS, still short of the 60 FPS target. Medium averages 32 FPS, with a minimum of 27 and a maximum of 37. High reaches 27 FPS on average, while Ultra manages only 20 FPS. The data indicates that even the least demanding preset at this resolution cannot sustain a smooth frame rate.

At 1920x1080, the picture improves substantially. The Low preset is the only configuration that clears the 60 FPS threshold, delivering an average of 69 FPS. Medium trails at 46 FPS, with a range of 39 to 53 FPS. High averages 39 FPS, and Ultra drops to 30 FPS. The jump from Low to Medium represents a 33% reduction in average frame rate, which highlights how sensitive this game is to preset changes on this hardware.

It is importantly the database only records minimum and maximum values for the Medium preset at each resolution. The other presets have null entries for these fields, so the analysis relies primarily on average FPS for those configurations. Across all resolutions, the spread between presets is consistent: Low is always the fastest, followed by Medium, then High, with Ultra as the slowest.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Intel Arc B370 ranks 3437 out of 3723 tested combos in Rust according to the database. This places it in the bottom 8% of all configurations tested for this game. The percentile ranking for the GPU alone is 5, meaning it outperforms only 5% of all GPUs in the database. The CPU, in contrast, sits at the 83rd percentile, indicating a massive imbalance between the two components.

The data suggests that the Intel Arc B370 is the limiting factor in this pairing. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D produces strong synthetic scores, including a Cinebench R23 multicore result of 16817 and a single-core score of 1713. Its average benchmark score across all tests is 33079. Meanwhile, the Arc B370 has an average benchmark score of just 1184, based on a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. This GPU score is comparable to integrated graphics from over a decade ago, which explains why frame rates in Rust remain low even at 1080p.

Given this ranking, the combo is positioned far below what would be considered a balanced gaming system. The CPU is capable of handling modern workloads with ease, but the GPU cannot translate that capability into high frame rates in Rust. The nearest rivals for the CPU include the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G and Intel Core i7-13650HX, both with average scores of 33089, a 0% delta. For the GPU, the closest competitors are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 at 1186 (-0.2% delta) and the ATI Radeon HD 5770 at 1190 (-0.5% delta). These comparisons underscore the GPU's age and limited performance class.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Rust at 60 FPS on any settings?

A: Yes, but only at 1920x1080 with the Low preset. The database records an average of 69 FPS for that configuration. No other resolution or preset combination reaches the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: What is the best average FPS this combo achieves at 2560x1440?

A: The highest average at 2560x1440 is 48 FPS, which occurs with the Low preset. This falls short of the 60 FPS playable threshold by 12 FPS.

Q: How does the GPU compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The Intel Arc B370 has an average benchmark score of 1184. Its nearest rival, the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, scores 1186, which is 0.2% higher. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5% higher. These deltas are negligible, meaning the Arc B370 performs similarly to these older cards.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the bottleneck in this system?

A: The data strongly indicates the GPU is the bottleneck. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D ranks in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, while the Arc B370 ranks in the 5th percentile of all GPUs. In Rust, the combo rank is 3437 out of 3723, reflecting the GPU's limitation.

Q: What is the lowest average FPS recorded for this combo?

A: The lowest average is 12 FPS, recorded at 3840x2160 with the Ultra preset. This is 48 FPS below the playable threshold.

Q: Does the Medium preset provide any advantage over Low at 1920x1080?

A: No. Medium averages 46 FPS with a range of 39 to 53 FPS, while Low averages 69 FPS. Low is significantly faster and is the only playable option at this resolution.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU side, the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D's nearest rivals in the database are the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G and Intel Core i7-13650HX, both with an average score of 33089, matching the 7800X3D's 33079 within 0%. The AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX also scores 33091, a 0% delta. The AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H comes in at 33201, which is 0.4% higher. These processors would deliver essentially identical CPU-bound performance in Rust, meaning the frame rates would remain unchanged if the same GPU were paired with them.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B370's nearest rivals are all significantly older parts. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, just 0.2% higher. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5% higher. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7% higher, and the AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, which is 1.4% lower. If a user swapped the Arc B370 for any of these GPUs, the frame rates in Rust would be nearly identical, within a few frames per second at most.

This means that any system built around these rival components would produce similar results in Rust. The CPU is not the constraint, so upgrading or changing the processor would have no measurable impact on the FPS figures reported here. Conversely, the GPU alternatives are all of the same performance class, so none of them would offer a meaningful improvement over the Arc B370.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves the 60 FPS threshold. The best option is Low, which averages 28 FPS. Medium averages 19 FPS, High averages 16 FPS, and Ultra averages 12 FPS. The database does not list any playable settings for this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the situation is similar. Low is the fastest preset at 48 FPS, but it still falls below 60 FPS. Medium averages 32 FPS, High averages 27 FPS, and Ultra averages 20 FPS. No playable settings are recorded for this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the Low preset is the only playable option, averaging 69 FPS. Medium averages 46 FPS, which is below the threshold, and High and Ultra average 39 and 30 FPS respectively. For users who prioritize visual quality over frame rate, Medium would be the next step up, but it cannot maintain 60 FPS.

The data shows a clear pattern: the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at any resolution is Low at 1920x1080. There are no other combinations that meet the playable threshold.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Rust? The answer depends entirely on the resolution and settings. At 1920x1080 with the Low preset, yes, it runs at an average of 69 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold. This is the only configuration in the recorded data that achieves playable frame rates.

At 2560x1440 and 3840x2160, the system cannot reach 60 FPS on any preset. The best results at these resolutions are 48 FPS (1440p Low) and 28 FPS (4K Low), both far below the threshold. The verdictByResolution data confirms this: only 1920x1080 has playable settings, and Low is the designated best setting with an average FPS of 69.

For a game like Rust, which is a survival title with a release date of February 2018, the hardware combination is heavily skewed. The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is a high-end desktop processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, boosting to 5.00 GHz, and it ranks in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. The Intel Arc B370, however, is an integrated graphics solution with a 25 W TDP and a 5th percentile ranking. The result is a system that is CPU-rich but GPU-poor, leading to frame rates that are acceptable only at 1080p on the lowest settings.

Users who want to play Rust with this pairing should stick to 1920x1080 and the Low preset. Any attempt to increase resolution or visual fidelity will result in frame rates that fall well short of the 60 FPS target. The data does not support claims of playability beyond this single configuration.
