• Rust Unplayable Due To Framerate (Should not lag at all)
    7 replies, posted
Hi, I just bought the game about 20 minutes ago, 1/30/16. Took me a while to load into a server, and took several tries due to crashes. Once I finally got in, I was very excited...then I moved haha. I'm constanly running at 11-13 fps. It does not go any higher or lower. Any action I do rather it be moving, selecting an item, or attacking a tree..every action is delayed, a kind of framerate lag, not latency. No issues there. Almost like it is when you reinstall your operating system, and not having your cards proper drivers (Which I do.) Also, this is on the lowest settings possible. Ran it both on Direct x9 and the default. I understand this is alpha, but all the same...any help would help and if this isn't a known issue, it is now! Here are my specs: Windows 10 Home 64bit Intel Core i7-4710HQ CPU @ 2.50Ghz (8 CPUs), ~2.5Ghz 16384MB ram Directx version 12 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870M 11141MB memory Here's something I noticed when going to my dxdiag...the graphics card I have installed in the laptop (Came factory but also has the integrated chip as well) is under the tab Display 2. Under Display 1 is my integrated chipset which is...Intel HD Graphics 4600 with 8245MB of memory. Now, when I open Rust I have an option to choose the monitor (display) and default it's on display 1...and I cannot change it to display 2. Now I don't think this would be an issues because every other game I play uses the Geforce GTX card that's installed into the laptop. I believe by default my rig uses the better card by default. I'm wondering if the Display option on launch is what's causing the issue. Or is there a known issue with the Geforce GTX 870M cards? Thanks in advance!
Set your first display to be running on the GTX 870M and the second running on the Intel HD. Also set your 870M to be the default graphics adapter (right-click on the desktop) and set your computer's power options to High Performance if it wasn't set there. Note: This [B]will[/B] accelerate battery consumption. This is a common Unity issue and is not even unique to Rust.
When I go into display settings, it only has 1 display. I clicked detect and still only found one display. Is there another way to go about changing it? It's only showed that way on dxdiag, and no other games have this issue for me at least. I launch them up, and I run them no problem without having to change any settings. The problem is, it's using my integrated GPU when it should be using my GTX 870M

Ok, so I fixed the issue for anyone else that may have the same issue. I right clicked the desktop and then clicked NVIDIA Control Panel. I then went to 3D settings > Manage 3D settings. Under the "Global" tab the "Preferred Graphics Processor" setting is "Auto-select." Apparently it does not think the game is intensive enough for it to use the "High Performance NVIDIA processor." Easy fix, click the box, and select "High Performance NVIDIA processor." Load the game, and now I'm running 95 fps. =) I hope this helps others!

I did that, but thanks for your two cents after the fact.
