Rust

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is a measured combination for Rust, ranking 868th out of 1,717 tested combos. The CPU posts an average benchmark score of 28,631 (85th percentile among all CPUs), while the GPU averages 35,327 (79th percentile among all GPUs). The CPU sits within 0.2% of its nearest rivals — the Intel Core i5-12600, i5-12600H, AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT, and EPYC 7203P — while the GPU trails the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 by 1.3% in average score. These synthetic scores set the stage for the measured frame rates below, which span four presets across three resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear, consistent drop as resolution increases, indicating that the GPU is the primary limiting component in Rust for this combo. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 97.6 FPS at 1920x1080 to 70.2 FPS at 2560x1440, then to 37.4 FPS at 3840x2160. The 4K figure is less than half of the 1080p figure, a pattern that holds across all presets. For Low settings, the drop is from 154.3 FPS at 1080p to 121.4 FPS at 1440p and 70.4 FPS at 4K. Medium goes from 117.9 to 79.2 to 48.8, and Ultra from 72.5 to 49.2 to 31.8.

This scaling behavior is typical of a GPU-bound workload: the frame rate falls roughly in line with the increase in pixel count. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, is unlikely to be the bottleneck at these settings, especially given its benchmark parity with the i5-12600 (delta of -0.1%). The fact that even at 1080p Low the GPU still delivers 154.3 FPS — a high value that still drops by more than half at 4K — reinforces that the RX 6750 XT is the limiting factor. The CPU's single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2,694) is sufficient to feed the GPU at these frame rates, but the resolution scaling leaves no doubt about where the performance ceiling lies.

GPU Role

The RX 6750 XT brings 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s. Its base clock is 2150 MHz, boost clock 2600 MHz, and game clock 2495 MHz. These specifications support the measured frame rates in Rust, particularly at higher resolutions where memory bandwidth and capacity become more critical. The 12 GB frame buffer is ample for 4K textures, and the 432.0 GB/s bandwidth allows the card to feed the render pipeline without stalling, as evidenced by the smooth scaling from 1080p to 4K.

The GPU's compute capabilities — 2,560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 40 ray-tracing cores — contribute to its 13.31 TFLOPS FP32 throughput. In Rust, which is not a ray-tracing-heavy title, the raw rasterization performance is what matters, and the measured FPS reflects that. The GPU's average benchmark score of 35,327 places it just 1.3% below the RTX 3080, a card with a much higher power envelope. This parity in synthetic scores translates to competitive frame rates in Rust, though the 4K Ultra preset still only reaches 31.8 FPS, indicating that even this GPU is not sufficient for maxed-out 4K gaming.

The GPU's memory clock of 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective) and 192-bit bus yield a bandwidth that is well-matched to the card's compute throughput. In the measured data, the gap between Low and Ultra presets at each resolution is substantial — for example, at 1440p, Low delivers 121.4 FPS while Ultra drops to 49.2 FPS. This spread is typical of a GPU that is capable at lower settings but becomes the bottleneck when effects and draw distances increase. The 12 GB VRAM is not a limiting factor in any of the tested presets, as even the highest settings at 4K do not show a sudden drop that would indicate memory capacity issues.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists all measured average FPS values for this combo in Rust.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

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

| 1920x1080 | Low | 154.3 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 117.9 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 97.6 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 72.5 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 121.4 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 79.2 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 70.2 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 49.2 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 70.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 48.8 |

| 3840x2160 | High | 37.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 31.8 |

At 1080p, the combo delivers playable frame rates across all presets. Low and Medium exceed 100 FPS, while High and Ultra stay above 70 FPS. The 1440p results show a clear step down: only Low reaches 121.4 FPS, with Medium at 79.2 and High at 70.2 — both still suitable for 60 Hz displays. Ultra at 1440p falls to 49.2 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. At 4K, only Low manages 70.4 FPS; Medium, High, and Ultra all sit below 50 FPS, with Ultra at 31.8 FPS. These numbers indicate that the RX 6750 XT is a solid 1080p and 1440p card for Rust, but 4K gaming requires dropping to Low settings to maintain a smooth experience.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS, the optimal preset depends on the target resolution and refresh rate. For 1920x1080, High settings deliver 97.6 FPS, which is sufficient for a 60 Hz monitor and leaves headroom for 100 Hz panels. If a higher refresh rate is desired, Medium at 117.9 FPS or Low at 154.3 FPS are better choices. Ultra at 72.5 FPS is still playable but offers diminishing returns over High for a 25 FPS cost.

At 2560x1440, Medium provides 79.2 FPS, which is the best balance for a 60 Hz display, while High at 70.2 FPS is also acceptable. For 144 Hz gaming, only Low at 121.4 FPS comes close, though it may not sustain a full 144 FPS. Ultra at 49.2 FPS is not recommended for smooth play. For 3840x2160, Low is the only preset that exceeds 60 FPS (70.4 FPS). Medium at 48.8 FPS and High at 37.4 FPS are below the 60 FPS threshold, and Ultra at 31.8 FPS is only suitable for slower-paced scenarios. In summary, the combo is best used at 1080p with High or Medium, or at 1440p with Medium, while 4K should be reserved for Low settings. The data shows no preset that achieves 60 FPS at 4K with this hardware, so users targeting 4K should consider lowering resolution or accepting lower visual fidelity.
