Performance Analysis: Rust on Your System
The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER presents a specific performance profile for Rust, a survival title known for its demanding simulation and rendering loads. The recorded data shows a system that can handle the game smoothly at lower resolutions and settings, but struggles to maintain high frame rates at 4K with higher presets. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS, compares the hardware to nearby alternatives, and provides a clear verdict on what this combination can achieve.
Best Settings per Resolution
To achieve a stable 60 FPS or higher, the most demanding preset that remains playable varies by resolution. The database measurements indicate the following optimal settings:
- 3840x2160 (4K): The most demanding setting that stays at or above 60 FPS is Low, which delivers an average of 63.8 FPS. Higher presets fall below the 60 FPS threshold.
- 2560x1440 (1440p): The most demanding setting that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, which delivers an average of 60.6 FPS. This is a close call, as it just clears the threshold.
- 1920x1080 (1080p): The most demanding setting that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers an average of 63.4 FPS. This allows for the highest visual quality while remaining playable.
FAQ
Q: Can the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER run Rust at 4K with maximum settings?
A: No. At 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the average FPS is only 26.4, which is well below the standard 60 FPS playability threshold. High and Medium settings also fail to reach 60 FPS, with averages of 36.9 and 38.6 FPS respectively.
Q: What is the best quality preset I can use at 1440p while staying above 60 FPS?
A: The data shows that the High preset at 2560x1440 is the most demanding option that still averages above 60 FPS, with a recorded average of 60.6 FPS. Medium settings are more comfortable at 67.7 FPS, and Low reaches 106.3 FPS, but High is the highest quality that clears the threshold.
Q: How does the CPU compare to its closest rivals in terms of overall benchmark score?
A: The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X has an average benchmark score of 53288. This is nearly identical to its closest rivals. It is 0.2% faster than the AMD EPYC 7313P, 0.6% faster than the Intel Xeon 634, and only 0.3% slower than the Intel Xeon Phi 7290. It is also 0.6% slower than the Intel Core i7-14700F.
Q: Is the RTX 2070 SUPER significantly faster or slower than the Intel Arc A750?
A: The performance difference is marginal. The RTX 2070 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 20282, which is 1.5% lower than the Intel Arc A750's score of 20582. This places them in a very similar performance tier.
Q: What is the best overall FPS recorded for this combo?
A: The highest average FPS recorded in the database for this combination is 149.6 FPS, achieved at 1920x1080 with Low settings.
Q: How does the combo rank against all other tested CPU and GPU combinations in Rust?
A: The combination ranks 2157th out of 3723 total tested combos. This places it in the lower half of all possible pairings, indicating a mid-tier performance level for this specific game.
Measured FPS Breakdown
The following data from the database provides a detailed look at the average FPS recorded for each resolution and settings preset. The minimum and maximum FPS values were not recorded.
1920x1080 (1080p)
- Ultra: Average FPS 63.4
- High: Average FPS 87.9
- Medium: Average FPS 103.3
- Low: Average FPS 149.6
2560x1440 (1440p)
- Ultra: Average FPS 45.9
- High: Average FPS 60.6
- Medium: Average FPS 67.7
- Low: Average FPS 106.3
3840x2160 (4K)
- Ultra: Average FPS 26.4
- High: Average FPS 36.9
- Medium: Average FPS 38.6
- Low: Average FPS 63.8
The data shows a clear scaling pattern. Performance drops significantly when moving from 1080p to 1440p, and again from 1440p to 4K. The difference is most pronounced at the Ultra and High presets, where the GPU load becomes the limiting factor. At the Low preset, the CPU and GPU are capable of delivering higher frames, but the gap between resolutions remains.
Similar Performance Alternatives
The nearest rivals for both the CPU and GPU help to identify hardware that should deliver similar in-game performance.
CPU Rivals: The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X has an average benchmark score of 53288. The following processors are its closest competitors in terms of overall computing power:
- AMD EPYC 7313P: Score of 53206, which is 0.2% slower.
- Intel Core i7-14700F: Score of 53620, which is 0.6% more powerful.
- Intel Xeon Phi 7290: Score of 53469, which is 0.3% more powerful.
- Intel Xeon 634: Score of 52974, which is 0.6% slower.
A system with any of these CPUs combined with the same RTX 2070 SUPER would likely produce very similar average frame rates in Rust, as the performance difference between the processors is within a single percentage point.
GPU Rivals: The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 20282. The following GPUs are its closest competitors:
- NVIDIA Quadro M4000M: Score of 20480, which is 1.0% more powerful.
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile: Score of 20534, which is 1.2% more powerful.
- Intel Arc B570: Score of 20556, which is 1.3% more powerful.
- Intel Arc A750: Score of 20582, which is 1.5% more powerful.
Swapping the RTX 2070 SUPER for any of these alternatives would result in a very similar rasterization performance in Rust, with the frames landing within a small margin of error of those recorded for this specific configuration. The Intel Arc A750, for instance, is nearly identical in its average benchmark score.
The Verdict
Yes, this PC can run Rust, but playability is highly dependent on the resolution and settings. The data shows a clear verdict for each resolution:
- 1920x1080: This resolution is the most capable for this combo. All four presets, including Ultra at 63.4 FPS, clear the 60 FPS threshold. Players can enjoy the game at maximum visual quality.
- 2560x1440: The computer can run the game well at this resolution, but not at the highest settings. The High preset (60.6 FPS) and Medium preset (67.7 FPS) are playable. The Ultra preset fails to hit 60 FPS, averaging 45.9 FPS.
- 3840x2160: For 4K, the system is only able to provide a playable experience at Low settings, with an average of 63.8 FPS. All other presets, High, Medium, and Ultra, fall short of the 60 FPS threshold, with averages below 40 FPS. This indicates the GPU is not sufficiently powerful for 4K gaming at higher quality settings.
The verdict is that this is a solid pairing for 1080p and a decent setup for 1440p, but it is not recommended for 4K gaming above the lowest settings.
How This Combo Ranks
The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combination is ranked 2157th out of 3723 tested combos in the database. This puts it in the lower half of all systems tested for this game. Given that the CPU is a high-end processor but the GPU is a mid-range, older-generation model, this ranking is expected. The mid-tier percentile of the GPU, 65th percentile vs all GPUs, is the primary performance limiter. The CPU's strong performance is not fully utilized at higher resolutions, where the GPU becomes the bottleneck. The ranking indicates that while the system delivers a very smooth 1080p experience and a capable 1440p experience, it is outclassed by many other configurations in the database for 4K gaming in Rust.
