Rust

Rust, a survival title released 2018-02-07, is measured here with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT. All frame rates come from measured runs, covering Low, Medium, High, and Ultra presets at 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160. The measured range runs from 198 FPS at 1920x1080 Low to 37.6 FPS at 3840x2160 Ultra.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution ladder shows a clear downward movement in every preset. At 1920x1080, Low averages 198 FPS. Raising the resolution to 2560x1440 drops that to 141.8 FPS, and 3840x2160 lowers it further to 81.5 FPS. The High preset follows the same shape: 115.7 FPS at 1920x1080, 77.2 FPS at 2560x1440, and 45.6 FPS at 3840x2160. Ultra starts at 87.3 FPS at 1920x1080, falls to 58.4 FPS at 2560x1440, and ends at 37.6 FPS at 3840x2160.

This pattern indicates a system that becomes increasingly GPU-limited as resolution climbs. At lower resolution, the CPU has enough headroom to feed high frame rates: even the 1920x1080 Ultra preset produces 87.3 FPS. At 3840x2160, the GPU has to render far more pixels, and the measured results compress downward across all four presets. Low still reaches 81.5 FPS at 4K, but Medium drops to 55.7 FPS, High to 45.6 FPS, and Ultra to 37.6 FPS.

The Low preset makes the scaling easier to read. It moves from 198 to 141.8 to 81.5 FPS as resolution increases, meaning every resolution step removes a large portion of the frame-rate headroom. If the CPU were the limiting component, resolution changes would have a smaller effect. Instead, the consistent drops across Low, Medium, High, and Ultra point to the GPU as the dominant constraint at 2560x1440 and 3840x2160. The 1920x1080 results still show a wide settings spread, but the ceiling there is high enough that the CPU can keep the system moving.

How This Combo Ranks

Against other tested combinations in Rust, this pairing ranks 593 out of 1717. That is a middle-field placement in the combo-specific table, not a top-ranking result. The individual components do not look out of place in their own databases. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT sits in the 78th percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 20740. The AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT sits in the 76th percentile of all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 32619.

The CPU's nearest rivals are tightly clustered. The Intel Core i7-10700 scores 20746 with a deltaPct of 0. The Intel Core i5-12490F scores 20794 with a deltaPct of -0.3. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X scores 20680 with a deltaPct of 0.3. The AMD EPYC 7J13 scores 20845 with a deltaPct of -0.5. None of these rivals are far away from the 5600GT's average score, which means the CPU is positioned in a dense performance band.

The GPU's nearest rivals are also close. The AMD FirePro S9300 X2 scores 32540 with a deltaPct of 0.2. The NVIDIA P104-100 scores 32747 with a deltaPct of -0.4. The NVIDIA T600 Mobile scores 32849 with a deltaPct of -0.7. The AMD FirePro S10000 scores 32388 with a deltaPct of 0.7. The RX 7800 XT's average score of 32619 sits inside that narrow band, so the GPU is not an outlier in either direction.

The Rust-specific combo rank of 593 out of 1717 shows that these two solid components do not translate into an elite pairing in this game. The measured FPS data reinforces that conclusion: the CPU and GPU are both near the 78th and 76th percentiles respectively, but Rust places the combination closer to the middle of its tested field.

Settings Recommendations

The best preset depends heavily on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, High averages 115.7 FPS, while Ultra averages 87.3 FPS. High is the stronger recommendation because it is the highest preset with a measured average in the triple digits, and it leaves a comfortable frame-rate margin over Ultra. Low and Medium are faster at 198 and 138.1 FPS, but they ask the user to give up visual quality for headroom that the combination does not strictly need at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, Medium is the best measured balance. Medium averages 90.9 FPS, which sits well above High's 77.2 FPS and Ultra's 58.4 FPS. Low is the fastest 1440p result at 141.8 FPS, but Medium offers a meaningful quality increase over Low while still keeping the average north of High's result. Ultra at 2560x1440 is the weakest choice among the four settings because it drops below the other presets while carrying the highest visual load.

At 3840x2160, Low is the recommended preset for frame rate. Low averages 81.5 FPS, the only 4K result in the 80s. Medium follows at 55.7 FPS, High at 45.6 FPS, and Ultra at 37.6 FPS. Users who prefer visual quality over smoothness can choose Medium, but the measured data shows a steep cost after Low. The overall recommendation across all three resolutions is High at 1920x1080, Medium at 2560x1440, and Low at 3840x2160.

Measured FPS Breakdown

| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |

|---|---|---|---|---|

| 1920x1080 | 198 | 138.1 | 115.7 | 87.3 |

| 2560x1440 | 141.8 | 90.9 | 77.2 | 58.4 |

| 3840x2160 | 81.5 | 55.7 | 45.6 | 37.6 |

At 1920x1080, Low produces 198 FPS, Medium produces 138.1 FPS, High produces 115.7 FPS, and Ultra produces 87.3 FPS. Every preset step lowers the measured average. At 2560x1440, the same ordering holds: Low 141.8, Medium 90.9, High 77.2, Ultra 58.4. At 3840x2160, the results are Low 81.5, Medium 55.7, High 45.6, and Ultra 37.6.

The 2560x1440 Low result of 141.8 FPS is higher than every 1920x1080 preset except 1080p Low. That shows how much settings matter relative to resolution at the upper end of the range. The 3840x2160 Low result of 81.5 FPS is close to the 1920x1080 Ultra result of 87.3 FPS, which reinforces the same point from the other direction: dropping the preset at 4K can recover roughly the same frame rate as lowering the resolution to 1080p and running Ultra. The dataset does not include separate minimum or maximum values; the minFps and maxFps fields are null for every measured row.
