Hello guys i really love the game and everything but my fps is really bad..
Specs:
Cpu:Intel i5 4200M 2.5 Ghz.
Ram:6 gb.
Graphics(switchable):Intel Hd 4600/AMD Radeon R5 M200(HD 8500M)
My specs are not that bad, and i have 0 problems with switchable graphics on all other games.(i know the catalyst thing)
So at first i thought that my amd card was not working but as many people say, it's a bug and it will show intel hd ingame, i checked with gpu-z and it was working.
I am playing on 720,with every single graphics settings lowered/off trying to get some fps but im always 15-25 max,i'm really sure that i should get around 60 if i lower eveything but it is not helping :/..i tried doing everything stated in all forums and youtube videos but nothing is really helping at all.
Some things that i tried:many launch option, tried running dx9,unparked cpu,override my gpu... and many more things..
I would really appreciate it if you guys help me out with any suggestions, and as i said i have no problems with switchable graphics and im sure i should get more fps when im on extremely low settings.
Thanks
If rust says its using the on board graphics, it means it's using your on board graphics...
The game's unoptimized, performance issues are going to happen. However, if Rust says Intel HD Graphics, I'm pretty sure it's not a bug but is literally not using your Radeon and that will cause terrible performance on top of the normal alpha issues.
Make sure your computer is set to high performance, and force the Radeon as the default card. Unity games love to glom onto Intel HD Graphics chips - it's not even a Rust-specific issue.
I dont know... i saw many people say it's a bug and i checked with gpuz while ingame and my amd card was working, i have it on high performance on my catalyst(both rust.exe/client)
any suggestions? :/ ty for replying.

i tried disabling my intel card in device manager but it switched to windows basic card, also i dont have an option in my bios for amd only.
I meant to set High Performance in Windows' power settings.
GPU-Z doesn't make any difference to what Rust is actually doing - GPU-Z is not a component of Rust and is kept in a separate segment of memory from Rust. The people you saw saying it's a bug are uninformed.
Yes i have that too :P i really have no issues with other games, so any suggestion for why rust is not recognizing my amd? ty
Set a profile with [URL="http://www.radeonpro.info/"]RadeonPro[/URL]. Your card isn't that powerful for a gaming card, however; the performance gain you'll get over the Intel HD is not going to be immense.
Should i choose Rust.exe or RustClient? Also i really noticed a hige difference when i figured out that i had 2 cards when i first got my laptop :P let's hope that works for rust too because i am running it on very low and getting around 20 fps only.
I'd set a profile for both to make sure, but RustClient.exe is the one that matters for graphics (Rust.exe bootstraps EAC before passing control to RustClient.exe, the actual game).
I added 2 profiles set overDrive and game still says intel hd 4600..idk what should i do :(
If the game says it's using Intel graphics it'using Intel graphics!
The bug is that Windows doesn't recognize that it should use the GPU for rust. On my son's laptop I tried setting a profile, but it still didn't take. I went into power settings and told Windows to always use the GPU and the problem was solved. It will consume more power, but you can't game for long on battery power.
Ty for replying, can you tell me how to do that exactly?

It might be a bit different for you since you are running an AMD/AT I gpu but it is probably something similar.
Right click on desktop and select nvidia control panel. (Might be catalyst controls for you)
Under "3D settings" there is a tab for "manage 3d settings". In that window is Global Settings where you can select preferred graphics processor. Set that to your gpu. Again, this is for a GeForce card, but yours should have something similar.
Keep in mind that by making the change "global" you are forcing your laptop to use the more power hungry gpu for everything, so if you use your laptop on battery power, remember to change that back to extend battery life.
I wish amd was like that :/ sadly i dont have an option to choose my preferred gpu. Any other suggestions are really welcome people :)
What make and model is your laptop?
[QUOTE=Schock;49621243]What make and model is your laptop?[/QUOTE]
My laptop is lenovo g510.
A quick Google search shows that it is a common issue with that laptop. The most common advise seems to be to uninstall and reinstall both Intel drivers and amd drivers. You should check Lenovo's site for driver updates.

I am 99% sure it's not the laptop because i have no problems with other games and they use my amd card amazingly,rust is the only game not recognizing it.Also when i disabled intel hd from my device manager my amd card stopped working so i had to reinstall both but still nothing :(
.
I googled and tried everything on all forums, couldn't find anyone with my problem...this is really frustrating...hasn't anyone ever faced my problem? still looking for fixes.
If your OS is still pre Win8.1, then some improvements have been introduced since then that might help, like for example the ability to disable the intel GPU in the desktop.
There is a EGPU community out there that deals with this problem a lot and they have some workarounds to get stuff working, might be worth checking out.
You could also install a quick Linux image on a USB stick, and try the game from there if changing Windows is no option.
I think ive got the same problem. Rust says that the gpu in use is the integrated one (Intel HD). But also it says that the memory of the integrated gpu is 997 mb, which is not the integrated card memory. And my nvidia activity panel says that rust is using the dedicated one.
I dont have a good pc to run Rust (i5 2.6ghz, 8gb ram and a 710m) and thats why i didnt ask here why i have 15-25 fps on lowest settings. You all say that if Rust says its using the integrated, its actually using the integrated, but the memory (997mb) and the nvidia control panel says the opposite.
So is Rust wrong and its actually using the integrated?
If you Google "Lenovo g510 not using gpu" you will find a LOT of people with the same problem, just not rust players.
I looked up some benchmarks for your gpu, and I hate to break it to you, but I don't think it is up to the task anyway! It barely beats Intel graphics in some cases! I think you need better hardware if you want to play this game!

It is entirely possible that in some cases it is just a glitch. It was definitely not in my case as the difference between Intel graphics and 970m is night and day.
When it comes to low end laptops the only way to know for sure that it isn't using integrated graphics is to completely disable it so the laptop has no choice but to use the GPU.
Laptop useless......
Get new desktop pc for gaming, no laptop.
Guys im sorry but im looking for some fixes/suggestions on fixing rust not using my amd card..ik a lot of people have problems with switchable graphics but almost all of them don't even know that they should configure their catalyst.Also like i said when i started using amd after finding this out, i got almost double the fps i got with my intel hd (catalyst not configured), i just want to see rust using my amd..also i have windows 8.1, and i cant risk using linux because i never did the usb thing and dont want to mess up,still looking for someone with my exact problem.
I had your exact problem, and I told you how I fixed it. You insist that your system doesn't allow you to disable integrated graphics...I doubt that, you just need to figure out how to do it on your specific hardware. I told you there are people with your exact computer having the same problem as you with different games...you don't think that is relevant... I'm not sure what more you want....someone else trying to run Rust on the exact same low end laptop as you? Good luck with that!

You can force your system to use your dedicated card easily like you said on nvidia, a lot of people fixed it easily by doing what you said,but im looking for a solition for amd there is no option i know that..but im sure there is something to do for rust..
Well, after reading up on your particular laptop, all I can say is good luck! It looks to me like the Lenovo products that run Intel/AMD are very problematic, and Lenovo has not been supporting the product very well. They have been producing those laptops for quite a while, and the problem spans several generations. They just are not gaming machines.

I appreciate you trying to help me,as i stated i have no problems with my switchable graphics on any game but rust. they all work great and i haven't faced any problems with anything except rust.Also im not trying to do some hardcore gaming on my laptop :) im just asking for help getting my amd cant to work with rust on low settings, ty.
