As soon as i got Rust, I noticed severe stuttering, and FPS dips from 70 to 15. After this went on for about 10 mins I rebooted the game with MSI Afterburner. Apparently my GPU usage doesn't go above 70% and my CPU doesn't go above 40%... It's the same result when using super potato graphics, and fantastic graphics. As far as i know, this doesn't happen in any other game.
btw my specs are
CPU - i5 7600k
GPU - AMD RX 480
8 GB Ram
HDD
Any help would be appreciated, would love to play with my friends.
First problem is 8GB of RAM is the minimum system requirements for Rust, so you're probably running into problems with stuff getting shoved into swap.
Not every game is capable of utilizing the absolute limits of your PC's hardware, and in Rust's case a lot of that is going to be because of the underlying Unity engine. Rust is also still in active development so it may have performance problems and optimization inefficiencies, and usually does. Software is hard and the devs are still adding to the game, not focusing on polishing off performance because they're never changing the code again and can buff it until it shines and runs as perfect as possible. Prematurely trying to hit that perfect polish level is a bad idea because if you go and change things the next month and the performance shits the bed again, all that work you did polishing stuff that got changed went to waste.
Thanks for the reply, makes sense. But are you saying there is basically nothing I can do?
Adding more RAM to your system so it isn't constrained at all would help performance and might lessen the bottlenecks so that the computer can spend more time actually processing the game instead of getting stuck on something, which would improve your CPU and GPU utilization.
Making sure you don't have memory-hungry programs like web browsers open when you're going to play Rust is also a good idea, and doesn't require buying RAM sticks, but can only help so much.
If changing the graphics settings and the resolution doesn't help, and buying RAM either isn't an option or it didn't help much, the problem isn't something you can control, it's the program doing what it's doing.
I got the same issue, my GPU usage seems to increase whenever the ingame graphics are demanding, lowering the graphic settings will lower the GPU usage behind it.
I have Ryzen 5 2400G
RTX 2070
2 x 8 GB RAM 2400mhz
7.2k rpm seagate hdd
My GPU usage was stuck on 33 all the time but I overclocked my CPU and it hopped on to go over 70% most of the time since the overclock of the CPU.
Basically the CPU is too weak.
(I wasn't expecting to get a GPU that good that's where the problem got to exist)
I later found out I have a CPU bottleneck which I can't help cause of course I'm not made of money am I...
Your CPU doesn't look like it's weak at all.
Try overclocking your RAM if you can't afford a second stick of it
Go to BIOS > X.M.P. > Profile 1 and try watching some videos on how can you overclock your RAM cause each RAM needs specific voltage parameters or whatever.
That's all I can advice hope it helps.
You can give DDU a try and reinstall the drivers you never know...
Wish you luck on that one
Don't over clock to fix a problem....
overclocking produces heat & shortens system life. 10 Deg. extra reduces expected component life by about 50 % for every 10 Deg. over 25 deg. (what the semi industry bases their data sheets on)
Before wasting money on RAM.... check your windows swap space & swapping...
Also if you are swapping is it to spinnig rust or SSD ?
if swap is zero, then it is unlikely you need more RAM.
Ensure all other programs are stopped and not sitting in the menu bar.
learn to analise why you have an issue before randomly doing shit you read on the internet.
50% every 10 degrees? So a CPU/GPU running at 75c has 3% the lifetime of a CPU/GPU running at 25c?
Go read the figures......, it's not my statement , nor my peer reviewed research and has been known since the 60's-70's
and it ties VERY VERY tightly into MTBF,
did you really really think they test for 50k hours , or do you think it's like some sort of "guesstimate"
nope.... they do something called accelerated testing where they TIGHTLY control temp & humidity then use the temp to accelerate the testing...
and then amortize the results because it is THAT accurate......
Can you send where these figures are? I'm not trying to argue, I'm just surprised and want to know more.
i have the same issue useage is really low looks like a bottleneck from the game because i play other games smoothly such as BF1 mp 60+fps
i got
intel i7 7700
GTX 1060 6gb
16 Gb RAM
game installed in SSD
Going to bump this. I'm also interested in these figures - linky please.
