Rust feels choppy, gameplay is unstable.

[Blagadariu]

As the title says I have bought a new gaming pc, mostly to play rust. After the new update, I am getting around 130 fps average, but if my fps goes lower than 100 my game feels very laggy, and almost unplayable, and this is especially bad on wipe days. I have a monitor with 165hz refresh rate, I have g-sync on, v-sync off, and my specs are - rtx 3060ti, ryzen 5 7500f, 32gb ram 5200mhz speed, 650w power supply, rust installed on sdd, and a maxsun b650 motherboard.

I really need help to fix this issue, so if anybody could help it would be great. Btw I tried locking my fps to something low like 90 or 80, so the frame times are locked, but the issue is always the same. Also on my old laptop I was getting 90fps max, but the gameplay seemed a lot smoother.

I forgot to add that my game looks smooth at 120fps, and anything lower is almost unplayable.

same but with a 2080s and a i7 9700 and 32gb ram,this game is just madly unoptimised...i mean its maybe the hight pop server too when theyre a lot of base arounf outpost i can go from 80 to 20... (300-500 pop) honestly im thinking of getting a pc later this years with a rtx 5080 if i can,nothing is enought for this game.....for god sake i changed my pc all my life since im like 14 for this game...4 time at least,1 time to run legacy rust,1 time when it went experimental,1 time after a whilw of full release,another time later on and now i will again.....this game is my benchmark

(btw using a 144hz monitor)

and if your out of idea you may consider using lossless scaling like i did but remember that it add latency...dont know how much tho..i think its like 30 to 50 or smt

and its normal that a stable framerate seem smoother sometime,but have you setted your gsync/freesync right too? (lock fps 3 under your monitor cap= 120 would be like 117 in the nvidia pannel,also activate gsync in the nvidia pannel on your game,activate vsync too (dw vsync wont activate since you wont go to your max rate) and i think that it it could help if you didnt do it

maybe change your monitor refreshrate to your max fps you get in game or what the closest,dont know if it can help never did it but meh may try it (in display setting or nvidia pannel)

[khrokihh]

also never put vsync in game only in nvidia pannel with gsync manually on each game with a -3 to your hz monitor

i dont remember the reason but gsync work better with vsync even thought vsync wont really activate under your max hz wtv

im gonna be honest i just looked up your and my spec they are really close,since its the case and i know how i run the game just know it will never get perfect,mostly on 300+ server,you maybe able to get something acceptable and fun with some tweaking but this game cant be smooth,it just cant,i mean with lossless it does for me but at cost of latency, i get a lot of time under 100 fps like it seem to be the case for you too,i lived the same.......

You need to brute force the lack of good coding with the latest hardware. Those specs are mediocre at best. That said, I know people with much better hardware who crash 5-10 times per 5-hour session. There’s no solution to this, as the engine has been heavily modified, and based on the forks, it seems many different staff members have contributed to the mess over the years.

Thanks for the answer, but problem for me is not the fps, the problem is that when i play rust on 80 fps my game is not smooth at all, It feels like im playing on 50 fps, my friend gets much lower fps than me, but his game is much smoother than mine. Btw he is playing on 60hz. The lowest fps I get on 1000 pop servers is 70 fps, and it's near outpost areas, and even though it does not go lower than 60 my game is sometimes is almost unplayable.
Any help would help me a lot.

The game is very CPU intensive, ryzen 5 low end will not cut it unless you dumb down all the graphics

[~Varley~]

yep as coop said, its insanely cpu heavy. I have a 2070TI and ryzen 7 so i get about max 100 frames. My brother has a ryzen 5 and a 3060 yet still gets lower frames than I. I suggest upgrading cpu/ensuring your game is on your SSD.

I got it fixed, all you needed to do was lock your fps to the average fps you get in rivatunner statistics server, I thought that by locking it in rust I would get the same effect, but I was wrong. The solution for me was to lock the fps to my average fps on a different app than rust.
