Low performance on Rust: No apparent solution

[Fucia]

Hi all,

 

I've recently upgraded from a GTX 1080 to a RTX 3070 (around 3 months ago).

 

My favorite game to play is Rust, and I've noticed that my performance is much less than my previous card. I'm stuck at 80-90 fps, no changes in settings help, sometimes even lowering my settings makes my fps go lower. My CPU and GPU utilization are 60% and ~40%, changes the graphics or resolution does not make them go higher.

 

The game is incredibly (stutter-y?), it freezes/stutters like 5 times a minute, the whole game lags pretty much. This happens on no other games, only Rust. With the recent update, I've seen it happen a lot more. It's really frustrating knowing I overpaid for a GPU, only to just get less performance.

 

Specifications:

 

i7-8700k

140mm AIO CPU cooler

AsRock Z370 Pro4

Crucial Ballistic DDR4-3200 16gb 2x8gb

Asus Rtx 3070 ROG STRIX White 8gb

EVGA 850 G3

Game is on a 240gb SSD

 

I am using the Geforce Experience Performance panel to get the utilization stated above. 

 

 

Things I have done:

Deleted and Reinstalled Drivers

Close all unnecessary programs behind 

Check every single connectivity inside the computer

Disabled Windows Game Boost, put computer on High Performance Mode

 

Like I said, lower settings sometimes even lower my fps, and higher and higher settings do not effect it at all.

 

Thanks in advance.
