Rust System Requirements FAQ
Can I run Rust on a low-end PC?▼
Rust is a demanding game. To have a playable experience, your PC needs to meet at least the minimum requirements: an Intel Core i7-3770 or AMD FX-9590, Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 or AMD Radeon R9 280, and 10 GB of RAM. Lower specs may result in very poor performance.
What GPU do I need for Rust?▼
For minimum settings and 1080p resolution, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 or AMD Radeon R9 280 is required. For higher settings and resolutions, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 or AMD Radeon R9 Fury or better is recommended.
How much RAM does Rust need?▼
Rust requires a minimum of 10 GB of RAM to run. However, 16 GB of RAM is recommended for a smoother and more stable experience, especially on servers with many players or complex bases.
Will Rust run on integrated graphics?▼
While technically possible, running Rust on integrated graphics is highly discouraged. The game is very demanding, and integrated graphics cards typically lack the power needed for a playable frame rate. Expect very low performance and visual quality, even on the lowest settings.
What is the best graphics settings for Rust?▼
The best graphics settings are subjective and depend on your hardware. Start with the 'Potato' or 'Fastest' preset and gradually increase settings like graphics quality, shadow quality, and draw distance until you find a balance between visual fidelity and performance. Monitoring your FPS is key.
