Rust

The short answer is: barely, and only at one setting. The pairing of Intel's Core i5-13400F, a ten-core Raptor Lake desktop processor sitting in the 77th percentile of all CPUs in the database, with the Intel Arc B370, an integrated Xe3-LPG graphics solution ranked in just the 5th percentile of all GPUs, produces a severe imbalance in Rust. The processor is more than capable; the graphics side is not. Measured results show exactly one playable configuration, 1920x1080 at Low preset averaging 69 FPS, and nothing else comes close.

Best Settings per Resolution

• 1920x1080 (Full HD): Low preset, averaging 69 FPS. This is the only resolution and preset combination in the recorded data that clears the 60 FPS playability threshold.
• 2560x1440 (Quad HD): No playable preset. The best result is Low at 48 FPS average, which falls well short of 60.
• 3840x2160 (4K): No playable preset. Low averages 28 FPS, the strongest figure recorded at this resolution but far below the threshold.

In practical terms, the answer to "what settings should I use" is straightforward: 1080p at Low, or nothing.

FAQ

Q: Can the Intel Core i5-13400F + Intel Arc B370 run Rust at 60 FPS?

A: Yes, but only in one configuration. At 1920x1080 with the Low preset, the measured average is 69 FPS, the sole result above the 60 FPS playability threshold. Every other resolution and preset combination falls short.

Q: Is the Core i5-13400F the bottleneck in this pairing?

A: The data strongly suggests it is not. The i5-13400F ranks in the 77th percentile of all CPUs in the database, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22604 and a single-core score of 3191. The Arc B370, by contrast, sits in the 5th percentile of all GPUs. The processor is doing heavy lifting that the graphics solution cannot match.

Q: How does 1440p compare to 1080p in the measured results?

A: Steeply. At 1080p Low the average is 69 FPS; at 1440p Low it drops to 48 FPS. Medium follows the same pattern, falling from 46 FPS at 1080p to 32 FPS at 1440p. The integrated graphics solution scales poorly as pixel count rises.

Q: What is frame rate behavior like at Medium settings?

A: At 1920x1080 Medium, the recorded range is 39 FPS minimum, 46 FPS average, and 53 FPS maximum. At 2560x1440 Medium it is 27 to 37 FPS with a 32 FPS average. At 3840x2160 Medium it drops to a 16 to 22 FPS range with a 19 FPS average. Even the best Medium result never approaches the threshold.

Q: How does this combo rank against other tested hardware pairings in Rust?

A: It ranks 3437 out of 3723 tested combinations, placing it near the very bottom of the database for this game.

Q: Does the Arc B370 use its own video memory?

A: No. Memory is listed as "System Shared," meaning the integrated GPU draws from system RAM, and memory bandwidth is therefore system dependent. This shared-memory design is one reason the results scale so poorly at higher resolutions.

Similar Performance Alternatives

On the CPU side, the Core i5-13400F sits in a tight cluster of rivals. The database lists the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS with an average score of 25284 against the i5-13400F's 25292, a difference of essentially zero percent. The Intel Core 5 120 averages 25362 (0.3 percent ahead), the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D averages 25365 (also 0.3 percent ahead), and the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H averages 25201 (0.4 percent behind). Any of these processors would deliver effectively identical CPU-side behavior in Rust; the processor is not the variable that decides playability here.

The GPU side is where alternatives matter, and the Arc B370's neighborhood is revealing. Its nearest rivals are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (average score 1186, within 0.2 percent), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190, 0.5 percent ahead), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M (1192, 0.7 percent ahead), and the AMD FirePro M2000 (1168, 1.4 percent behind). The Arc B370's sole recorded 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184 places it alongside these much older, much weaker graphics parts. A system built around any of these GPUs would behave very similarly in Rust: capable at 1080p Low, overwhelmed everywhere else.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution is unambiguous. At 1920x1080, the playable settings list contains exactly one entry, the Low preset, at 69 FPS average. At 2560x1440, the playable settings list is empty, with the best result being Low at 48 FPS. At 3840x2160, the playable settings list is also empty, with Low managing only 28 FPS.

So can this PC run Rust? Technically yes, at 1080p Low. But the phrase "run the game" deserves qualification. Rust is a survival game released in early 2018, and even with a processor in the 77th percentile of the database, this configuration ranks 3437th out of 3723 tested combos for this specific title. The Arc B370, with its 25 W TDP, 1280 shading units, and shared system memory, simply cannot push Rust's demanding open world at mainstream resolutions. Anyone using this pairing should treat 1080p Low as the ceiling, not a starting point.

Measured FPS Breakdown

All figures below are from measured data in the database.

1920x1080:

• Low: 69 FPS average (no min/max recorded)
• Medium: 46 FPS average, 39 FPS minimum, 53 FPS maximum
• High: 39 FPS average (no min/max recorded)
• Ultra: 30 FPS average (no min/max recorded)

2560x1440:

• Low: 48 FPS average (no min/max recorded)
• Medium: 32 FPS average, 27 FPS minimum, 37 FPS maximum
• High: 27 FPS average (no min/max recorded)
• Ultra: 20 FPS average (no min/max recorded)

3840x2160:

• Low: 28 FPS average (no min/max recorded)
• Medium: 19 FPS average, 16 FPS minimum, 22 FPS maximum
• High: 16 FPS average (no min/max recorded)
• Ultra: 12 FPS average (no min/max recorded)

The pattern across the table is consistent and steep. Each step up in resolution roughly halves throughput at the Low preset: 69, 48, 28 FPS. Each step up in preset tier at 1080p also cuts hard: 69 at Low becomes 46 at Medium, 39 at High, and 30 at Ultra. The Medium preset, the only tier with full min/avg/max records, shows frame time consistency that is reasonable in relative terms but at absolute levels far below playability outside of 1080p. Even the 4K Medium maximum of 22 FPS is less than a third of the 60 FPS threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database's Rust leaderboard, the Core i5-13400F plus Arc B370 pairing ranks 3437 out of 3723 tested hardware combinations. That placement, near the bottom of the entire field, reflects the GPU's 5th percentile standing dragging down a processor that would otherwise rank comfortably in the top quarter of all CPUs. The contrast between the two components is the defining story of this configuration: a 10-core, 16-thread Raptor Lake chip with a 4.60 GHz boost clock, support for DDR4 and DDR5 memory, and a Geekbench multi-core score of 11068, paired with an integrated graphics solution whose only recorded benchmark score of 1184 places it alongside hardware generations behind it.

For Rust specifically, the ranking tells the story the raw FPS table already implies. The processor contributes strong single-thread performance (a 3191 Cinebench R23 single-core score, a 1996 Geekbench single-core score) that Rust's simulation-heavy world would normally reward, but the graphics solution converts none of that headroom into higher resolutions or presets. Users who already own this processor and want to experience Rust beyond 1080p Low would need a different graphics solution; users evaluating this exact pairing should expect a single viable setting and nothing more.
