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 88 FPS and the 1% low is 70 FPS. A small gap between average and 1% low means consistent frame delivery with minimal stuttering.

Tips & Tricks4

Moderate 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 70 FPS, frame drops below 180Hz cause visible stuttering. RTX 5070 usage at 64% is the bottleneck.

Moderate GPU Usage

GPU usage hit 64% while CPU sat at 59%. Your RTX 5070 is the bottleneck, upgrade, lower graphics settings or resolution to increase FPS.

High VRAM Usage

GPU VRAM usage averaged 10.7 of 12 GB (peaked at 89%). Lower graphics settings or resolution to avoid stutters from VRAM pressure.

FPS Limit 200

FPS was capped to 200 but it was not reached. Remove the FPS limit in Rust settings for reliable data.
