Frame rate will not increase despite being able to.
I play Rust frequently and experienced stutters due to CPU thermal throttling. I purchased a Hyper 212, which resolved the thermal issue, but my frame rate now sits at 40-57fps despite adjusting settings. Both my CPU and GPU operate around 40-50% utilization, while RAM uses 11GB. My previous setup with the same components (excluding the SSD and CPU – upgraded since then) achieved approximately 70 fps with thermal throttling stutters. I have updated drivers, deleted the configuration file, restarted my PC, modified the NVIDIA control panel, and used GeForce Experience.
CPU - FX 8350
GPU - GTX 1050
RAM - 16gb Corsair Vengeance DDR3
SSD - Kingston M.2 120gb (game installation)
Recent software changes, such as a Windows update or NVIDIA Control Panel settings, may be responsible for the reduced frame rates.

I had several Chrome tabs open, which I closed. The only processes running were Steam and Discord, with no downloads or video playback in Discord. I then attempted to remove my two RAM sticks that differed from the other two; the system ran identically. I did not specify a reason for the incomplete state, so I simply redownloaded and retested it.

CPU usage differs from GPU and RAM usage; it can reach maximum levels without reaching 100% utilization. One or two primary threads at or around 100% indicates a CPU limitation. Check the usage for each core in the game.
