What does 1% low FPS mean in Rust benchmarks?

The 1% low FPS measures the worst-case frame rate during gameplay, the FPS that 99% of frames exceed. In this benchmark, the average is 152 FPS and the 1% low is 100 FPS. A small gap between average and 1% low means consistent frame delivery with minimal stuttering.

Tips & Tricks5

Good 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 100 FPS, frame drops below 165Hz cause visible stuttering. RX 6650 XT usage at 85% is the bottleneck.

High GPU Usage

GPU usage hit 85% while CPU sat at 49%. Your RX 6650 XT is the bottleneck, upgrade, lower graphics settings or resolution to increase FPS.

Critical RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 95% of 16 GB. Close background apps to free up memory, or upgrade to more RAM.

Critical VRAM Usage

GPU VRAM usage averaged 7.6 of 8 GB (peaked at 98%). Lower graphics settings or resolution to avoid stutters from VRAM pressure.

FPS Limit 120

Max FPS reached 213 of 120 cap. Remove the 120 FPS limit in Rust settings to increase FPS.
