What hardware does RUST like?

[Jerochy]

Hey guys,

I'm very torn at what the game rust likes a lot of. I have a couple rigs that all yield results that don't point to a single piece of hardware preference. So far, the only thing I can really see is that it really likes 8gb or more of ram. Also, it doesn't help I can get MSI afterburner to open up with rust.

 

Main Desktop: 

i7 3770 3.4Ghz

12gb DDR3

gtx 960 4gb VRAM

stored on a 7200 rpm hdd

I can get 60fps at 1080p on smaller servers and around 40-60fps on servers like rustified

 

Laptop:
i7 920xm 2GHz

8gb DDR3

gtx 460m 1.5gb VRAM

stored on an older SSD

I can get in the lower 40's playing at 720p on medium settings on most servers

 

Desktop at GF's house:

core 2 quad q6600 2.4GHz

4gb DDR2

HD 7770 1gb VRAM

stored on a 7200 rpm hdd

I am lucky if I hang around the 30's on all lowest settings at 720p

The only common thing I really get from this data analysis is that rust runs like crap with 4gb of ram. I thought that the i7 920xm would run like crap being a quad core that runs at 2GHz, but the processor isn't struggling at all. Is it because rust is utilizing all 8 threads? I'm wondering if I upgraded the 4gb of ram on the secondary desktop if it would increase at all, or if the 7770 is holding it back (which I don't think is the case). In any event, I'm going to be selling the current desktop at my GF's house and I am wondering if I should be leaning more towards a fast dual core with hyperthreading like the i3 550 if rust likes a fast processor with 4 threads, or if I should be looking more into a slower quad core like the i5 750. Since it is a secondary computer and I wanna keep the cost cheap, I'm doing a LGA 1156 build as I've done them in the past and I am super impressed with what the first generation i3,i5,i7's can do for how old they are and for how dirt cheap the processors are on eBay. 

If anyone knows what rust actually likes hardware-wise, please leave comments below. 

 

Thanks

None evidently

its not optimized, but it can run on a 860k and r7 260 at 30 fps on med setting DX9

I play max settings and I have an r9 390 and an i5 3470, i also know an i3 4360 will play it max matched with the r9 390.

How much RAM do you have?

well thats my old build and i tested it 2 weeks ago and it still ran like that, it had 8gb of ram

I can run with high settings with 30 FPS +
