Supercharge Rust Performance (NVIDIA Users Only)

It is very simple to give your game a boost by pushing it to your graphics card.

Steps:

1. Locate your Nvidia Control Panel



2. Get inside your Nvidia Control Panel then select Manage 3D Settings, then make sure everything looks like my setup. (Assuming you know where to look for rust's exe file when prompted.

Now you will have a very fast Rust!

Remove Laggy Grass (Anyone)

It is simple to remove laggy grass. Press F1 in game, and type "grass.on false". You should gain close to 10 FPS or higher.

Downgrade Quality (Anyone)

This one is easy, but you will have to sacrafice some quality... Go to your Options in Rust and make the Graphics slider 50% highlighted. You should get close to 30 FPS from that.

For the people who love caveman junk

I never use this, but there are people who love caveman junk. Go into console in Rust and type "censor.nudity false". Your welcome.

There is no "Select preferred graphics processor for this program" There is only a number 1 and 2 and my number is your not number 3 :I

@Blackjack4800 Good man, I thought you bought it cause you were one of those Alienware master-race guys. Assumptions are silly :P Check out pcpartpicker, it has Pcs you can build, telling you where to get the parts from and stuff. Solves all incompatibility issues.

@C4 I got the Alienware back in 2012, and at the time I didn't do much research. I'm going to build my next rig. Good eye though, I totally agree, Alienware is trash.

@Author Why have an Alienware? Overpriced, for the money you buy an alienware you could build a much better PC yourself.
