How To Boost FPS In Rust [2023]

how you can boost and increase your FPS and the overall performance of Rust on your PC.

Step 1 – Optimize Startup Apps And Processes.

You may have many apps and background windows services running that you don’t use at all, consuming valuable resources such as Ram, CPU, and sometimes even GPU. This can cause you to have fewer resources to run Rust and decrease the overall performance and frame rate. Let’s stop every app you don’t use from running in the background.

The process is identical on Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Now you should see a list of all background apps. To disable all background Windows apps, toggle off “Let Apps Run in the Background”.


Next, navigate to “Startup apps”. You’ll find a list of your apps that automatically start when your computer boots up. You’ll want to get rid of most, if not all, to free up more resources for Rust.

Step 2 – Graphics Optimizations To Increase Fps

This section of the guide will focus entirely on your graphics card. From optimizing the graphics card settings for NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards, uninstalling and then reinstalling the graphics driver, making sure everything works as it should, and ensuring that the graphics card is on MSI Mode to ensure the best performance and frame rate in Rust.

What I want you to do is go ahead and download Display Driver Uninstaller on your PC.



Next, go to the search bar, type System Configuration, and click on it.

The System Configuration tab should pop up; navigate to the Boot tab, and tick the option Safe boot.



After the restart, you should be in a Safe Mode environment.

Go ahead and look for the Display Driver Uninstaller folder you previously downloaded, extract it, and run the “Display Driver Uninstaller.exe” file as administrator.

Once DDU is up and running, go to the top left corner and click on Options, scroll down, and tick the option “Prevent downloads of drivers from “Windows Update”……..”, click OK and Close.



On the right side, click on the option “Select Device Type” and choose GPU, and under that, select the GPU manufacturer (NVIDIA, AMD, INTEL).

Press “Clean and do not Restart”.



Once the process is done, do the following:

Go to the search bar, type System Configuration, and click on it.

Navigate to the Boottab, and untick the option Safe boot.



Click Apply, OK, and then Restart.

Now you should be back in a normal Windows environment. Go ahead and download the latest driver for your GPU and install it.

AMD Drivers / NVIDIA Drivers

Once the driver installation is completed, go ahead and put your graphics card on MSI Mode by following the instructions below.

MSI Mode For Graphics Card

The next step is to go ahead and run the MSI mode for GPU tool As Administrator. It’s a simple tool to put your graphics card driver into MSI mode. This is done by default on the latest graphics cards, and it can give you a little bit of gaming performance on Rust, so it’s worth checking it.

Look for your graphics card, and once you find it ticks the MSI box, click Apply and Exit. That’s all you have to do, don’t edit any of the priorities if you don’t know what you are doing.

Best AMD Radeon Software Settings For Rust

Now let’s go ahead and optimize the Radeon Software graphics settings to achieve the best FPS possible in Rust. You can copy the settings from the photo below, but if you want a more in-depth guide, you can go ahead and read my guide on how to optimize AMD driver settings.

Here is a quick sum-up of what matters:

• Turn animations and effects off.
  
• Turn overlays off.
  
• Almost all settings are turned off and set to performance where applicable.
  
• Do some tests with the Anti-Lag option. I’ve found out that you shouldn’t be using it on a high-end graphics card, but on older ones, it helps. So take like few minutes and do some tests with it.
  
• On resolution settings menu, make sure to choose your screen resolution.
  
• Set the refresh rate to the highest possible to match your gaming monitor’s refresh rate.

Best NVidia Control Panel Settings For Rust

Now, let’s go ahead and optimize the NVidia Control Panel settings to achieve the best FPS possible in Rust. You can either copy the graphics settings from the photo below, or if you want a more in-depth guide, you can go ahead and read my guide on how to optimize NVidia driver settings.

Here is a quick sum-up of what matters:

• Almost all settings are turned off and set to performance where applicable.
  
• Set the refresh rate to the highest possible to match your gaming monitor’s refresh rate.
  
• On the Advanced Display Settings option set your resolution to your monitor’s native resolution.
  
• Choose No Scaling unless you play on stretched resolutions.
  
• On the Resolution Settings menu, make sure to choose your screen resolution.
  

Step 3 – Enable Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling.

If you are streaming Rust on OBS or Streamlabs, don’t enable this setting because it can cause lags and micro stutters in your stream and recording. You will get slightly lower FPS while playing Rust if you don’t enable HAGS, but everything will be smooth and stable.

On the other hand, if you are not streaming, turn it on because it will give you a small fps boost and help you achieve optimum fps in Rust.

We are pretty much done with the video settings part of this guide.

Let’s move on to Windows settings!

Step 4 – Optimize Windows Settings

Xbox Game Bar

Go to your search bar and type Xbox game bar, click on it, and turn both options OFF.



Enable Game Mode

While you are on the Xbox game bar tab, on your left side, you should see Enable Game Mode, click on it, and make sure to enable it. The Game Mode option was not working as intended on previous Windows builds and versions, but that seems to be fixed on the latest versions, it’s running smoothly, and it will give you a slight FPS increase in Rust.



Advanced Scaling Options

Go to Advanced Scaling Options, look for Fix scaling for apps, and toggle it to Disabled. This option doesn’t work, so keep it off.

Step 5 – Best Power Plan For Rust

I’ve tested every single power plan available, and I can say that the one working the best, especially for Rust, is the Bitsum Highest Performance Power Plan.

The Bitsum Highest Performance Power Plan is a custom power plan for Windows that is designed to maximize performance and increase fps. The plan applies various tweaks to the operating system, including disabling certain power-saving features and setting processor and graphics performance levels to their highest setting.

As a result, the Bitsum Highest Performance Power Plan can help to improve system performance, particularly for PC gamers. However, it is important to note that the plan can also lead to increased energy consumption and reduced battery life even on new gaming laptops.

Therefore, it is only recommended for use on any desktop gaming pc.

Step 6 – Optimize BIOS To Boost FPS In Rust

BIOS settings are really crucial when it comes to boosting and increasing your FPS in Rust.

One of the first things to check is the BIOS version; if it’s out of date, it’s worth updating to the latest version since manufacturers provide updates regularly either to address specific issues or to enhance the overall performance.

The thing that will make the biggest difference in performance and fps is to make sure that all your ram modules are working and running at maximum speed.

Next, take a look at the CPU settings; if they’re set too low, the CPU will be underutilized, leading to reduced performance and lower fps. CPU power-saving features could also hinder the performance so that’s worth checking as well.

By taking the time to optimize the BIOS, you can help to ensure that your computer system is running at its best.

Below you can find the best BIOS settings to improve your FPS in Rust.

Optimize AMD System BIOS Settings

• Make sure XMP or DOCP is set to Profile 1 / Enabled.
  
• Precision Boost Overdrive: Enabled
  
• Re-size BAR support: Enabled
  
• Find the options for FAN controls, and if you have a water cooler, make sure to set it to 100% at all times and optimize the rest of the coolers to work at higher speeds to keep temperatures as low as possible.

Optimize Intel System BIOS Settings

The Intel settings below can be found under your BIOS’s CPU features/CPU configuration/Overclocking/Ai Tweaker tabs. If it’s your first time entering BIOS, it may take you some time, but I am pretty sure you will find them easily.

• Make sure that all your RAM modules are the same exact model.
  
• Core Ratio: Set a stable clock ratio for your CPU. (If you don’t know what to do here, do some research on Reddit or forums)
  
• Ring Ratio: Set a stable ring ratio for your CPU. (If you don’t know what to do here, do some research on Reddit or forums)
  
• Make sure XMP or DOCP is set to Profile 1 / Enabled.
  
• Intel SpeedStep: Disabled
  
• Intel Speed Shift Technology: Disabled
  
• Intel C-state: disabled
  
• Turbo Mode: Enabled
  
• CPU Ratio Offset when running AVX: 0
  
• Re-Size BAR support: Enabled
  
• Find the options for FAN controls, and if you have a water cooler, make sure to set it to 100% at all times and optimize the rest of the coolers to work at higher speeds to keep temperatures as low as possible.

Once you are done with all the settings, you can go ahead and save these settings as a profile and then find the option to Save & Exit BIOS.

I can’t install my geforce drivers it keeps saying download failed pls help

[FilthyPig3323]

you have viruas

[poop buttass™]

did you make sure your framerate isnt capped at 120, cause maybe you have vsync on and your monitor is only 120 hz. Surely your rig should be able to pull 200+ fps @f1

[jonkler1945]

bro i have a 4070 and a i713700KF they have 0 percent bottle neck and i only get 120 fps it cant be my pc so i guess this game is horribly optimized

[Noobking29]

It is very obvious that some of you in this comment section have no idea what their talking about

[ゕ]

get a better pc
