High End PC is experiencing frame drops and stuttering during Rust playback.
Hello, I've noticed some frame drops and stutters on the server I've been playing on for about a week now. It happens every few seconds or so, with the game briefly stuttering and dropping 10 to 25 frames before returning to normal. Outside of that, I don't see any performance problems and maintain a high FPS (144+). However, I usually cap my settings at 144 because my monitor is 2K at 144Hz.
Here are my PC specifications:
- Motherboard: Asus Rog Strix 670
- GPU: 4090
- CPU: Ryzen 7800X3D
- RAM: 32GB Corsair DDR5-6000 CL 30 at 6000MHz
- SSD: PCIe Gen 5 4TB M.2
I've looked through many optimization guides on YouTube and checked various forums for solutions, but nothing has worked consistently.
I checked it on a UKN PVP server and didn't see any stuttering. The main issue seems to be with Rust, which is the only problem I encountered. All updates are applied.
Open the NVidia control panel and set your FPS limit to 140hz.
You likely have a 144hz Gsync-supported monitor, but pushing too near the maximum (144) can interfere with Gsync or cause issues.
This has happened before to me...
There’s a method to cap your refresh rate at just a few frames per second (2-5fps) and also turn off VSync, both in the control panel and within games, ensuring smooth performance.
TRY IT!
