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 183 FPS and the 1% low is 118 FPS. A small gap between average and 1% low means consistent frame delivery with minimal stuttering.

Tips & Tricks6

Good 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 118 FPS, frame drops below 165Hz cause visible stuttering. Peak RAM usage at 89% is the bottleneck.

Low Utilization

GPU at 60% and CPU at 45%, neither is fully loaded, yet 1% low FPS drops below your 165Hz refresh rate.

High RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 89% 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 96%). Lower graphics settings or resolution to avoid stutters from VRAM pressure.

FPS Limit 165

Max FPS reached 236 of 165 cap. Remove the 165 FPS limit in Rust settings to increase FPS.

Browser Running

A browser used 10% CPU and 1% GPU during the benchmark. Close all browser windows for cleaner results.
