Help guys low framerate!

HELP SUPER LOW FRAMERATE GAHHHH!!!!
Hey guys, I love Rust and have been playing it non-stop, I even bought almost an entire new rig to run it efficiently, no dice. I run Titanfall on high graphics with great frames! It just sucks I have to play a game that I love on 20 frames. When I'm looking out towards sea or something it's just fine though. But when I look towards mountains or something in the render distance, my frames just go to shit. This is all with my graphics to the lowest of the low. Here are my specs, hopefully a kind soul can help me out! Thanks!

Have you updated your drivers?

[Sievers808]

9.18.13.3523 is the newest driver version for his card, I just checked.

There's likely a boot argument you can set to get better results but I don't know what any of them are off the top of my head... They're posted all over the forums though.

[Kstacks]

Boot argument? And yes my drivers are up to date.

[Warm]

Make sure the game is actually using the Nvidia GPU and not the integrated one.

How do I do that? Sorry not much of a techy :(

[Warm]

Not really sure with Nvidia as I have never user their cards. It should be on the control panel for the drivers.

Make a folder in the main rust folder called "cfg".

Then make a new text file, paste this inside

gfx.ssaa False
gfx.bloom False
gfx.grain True
gfx.ssao False
gfx.tonemap False
gfx.shafts False
gfx.damage True
grass.on False
grass.forceredraw False
grass.displacement True
grass.disp_trail_seconds 0
grass.shadowcast False
grass.shadowreceive True
input.mousespeed 5
input.flipy False
input.bind Left A None
input.bind Right D None
input.bind Up W None
input.bind Down S None
input.bind Jump Space None
input.bind Duck LeftControl Mouse3
input.bind Sprint LeftShift None
input.bind Fire Mouse0 None
input.bind AltFire Mouse1 None
input.bind Reload R R
input.bind Use E None
input.bind Inventory Tab None
input.bind Flashlight F None
input.bind Laser L None
input.bind Voice V Mouse4
input.bind Chat Y Return
render.distance 0
render.frames -1
render.vsync False
sound.music 0.4
sound.volume 1
water.level -1
water.reflection False
footsteps.quality 2

then click save as

change the file type from .txt to "any" and name it client.cfg

put this file inside that folder you made

Hope it helps, if you want to revert back just delete the file and restart the game. Feel free to tweak any of the settings or remove any, this is just what I use.

^^^ I'll try that, I just don't get why even though I just spent money on this rig I have to do shit like this? Can anyone tell me why? It's just frustrating, some of my friends have awful computers and run it better than me...

You're telling me. I have more then enough to run any game on max settings with max res. I even bought 16 gigs of ram for a total of 20, and I only get like 60-90 fps. I was hoping for more 120+ stable but I guess that was too much to wish for.

[Warm]

20gb of RAM, wut?

[newlambton]

my main rig has 64 GIG Ram second rig has 8 gb off Ram :-)

[QUOTE=newlambton;44554700]my main rig has 64 GIG Ram second rig has 8 gb off Ram :-)[/QUOTE]

What fps do you get? Video card? CPU?

[Warm]

Why? More than 16gb is a complete waste.

[Istvan]

@ Kstacks, your issue is software,.

Install a new fresh copy of windows to the small drive,. mobo drivers, gpu drivers, and tripple check windows update,. install steam/rust,.

your system is good, but all that storage space has me wondering,.

FYI, titanfall could run on a toaster oven. perfect notebook game,.

edit, "thought it was a 200g small drive, you should still reinstall windows/drivers.." this is a good time to buy a 120 SSD if you have the cash,. them big slow drives kinda suck to be honest..

Quick question:

Changing this file won't get me VAC banned will it? I heard something about modifying files and as a strict non-cheater I don't want to chance anything!

[LITEN-KAKA]

you wont get banned for use a config man :P

[BearGrylls]

To those people who flagged the post meanly; I wouldn't have asked if I knew the answer, get over yourselves...

That's cool Liten-Kaka, thanks for your response! Helpful!

That's cool Liten-Kaka, thanks for your response! Helpful![/QUOTE]Well... MrTHC wouldn't suggest it if it was VAC ban-able. :P

[BearGrylls]

You say it like everyone knows who he is lol...

[Dramamine0001]

I had major FPS issues with the latest patch until I turned water reflections off...even when not around water. Do you have this setting on?
