Low fps with a 3090
I can't seem to get much above 100fps doesn't matter what graphics settings are used fps stays around 80-120.

I'm running
Cpu - Amd Ryzen 9 5950x
Gpu - 3090 FE
Ram - 32GB 3200mhz corsair dominator
Mobo - asus Strix x570-f
games installed on SSD M.2 Drive
Monitor - AlienWare AW2721D QHD 2560 x 1440 at 240Hz

Cpu usage is around 20-30% and gpu on max graphics only hits around 50%

So really shouldn't be struggling in rust. My old 2080 hit 140+ no issues.

I know a lot of people just respond its poorly optimised so does that mean there is no fix or am I missing something?

Did you get a whole new PC and new hard drives/SSDs and such for that 3090, or did you upgrade your old rig with the components while remaining on the same hard drives, SSDs, OS etc?
If it's the latter:
Did you uninstall old drivers from your 2080? Also try updating to the newest drivers.

If this doesn't work then another solution would be a windows reinstall.
I had a similar problem. My 1060 6GB was a bit worse than my old 660. I tried reinstalling drivers dozens of times, eventually I reinstalled windows and boom, everything works smoothly now with full performance. You don't even need to make a fully clean install and wiping all of your drives, just windows alone will do.

If it's the former, then I have no idea.

Yeah just upgraded the gpu was hoping not to install Windows again but looks like I'll have to try it as already tried re doing drivers
have you optimised your gpu through nvidia control panel?
is your cpu overheating and throttling?
have you tried increasing resolution?
are you on a high pop server?
are you settings just unoptimised eg draw distance, shadows and decals?

Hey cpu never overheats or throttles.

Tried on multiple servers as thought that might of been the issue.

And had them all optimised but do need to re do this as I set everything back to default to check if that's it. If you have a settings vid you'd recommend willing to try it.

Don't even worry bro game is the main bottleneck. You can pay hundreds of dollars just to get that few extra frames in this game.

Lol... 32gb 3200mhz ram is more then enough for rust.

did your previous setup have intel ?

maybe check if you need to optimise your ssd through disk defragmentation

what about your graphics card? i heard that 3090s can overheat quite easily.
this game is not optimized well ,bad coders and they cant fix it .so dont worry its not ur fault,even me with 1070 8gig gpu and core i7 and 16 gig ram i play with 40-50 fps on medium/low settings FHD

If you don't want to kill your SSD before its lifetime ends you should never defragment an SSD drive. It doesn't need this, and doesn't benefit from this since all files are stored on the software rather than physical parts like the HDDs. Due to this, SSDs can access any files almost instantly, meanwhile a HDD will take much longer if files are spread on different sectors around the platter. It needs to spin more and more to read all the files.
