The optimization was tested in Rust using the same resolution and graphics settings before and after applying the recommended performance tweaks.
| Metric | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Average FPS | 78 FPS | 112 FPS |
| 1% Low FPS | 51 FPS | 74 FPS |
| Frametime | 12.8 ms | 8.9 ms |
| RAM Usage | 9.4 GB | 8.1 GB |
- Operating System: Windows 11 64-bit
- Resolution: 1920×1080
- Graphics Preset: Medium
- V-Sync: Disabled
- Background Applications: Minimal
- Test Scenario: Same Rust gameplay environment
🚀 +43% Average FPS
⚡ +45% 1% Low FPS
📉 Lower average frametime
💾 Reduced background RAM usage
For a consistent benchmark:
- Use the same resolution.
- Keep the same Rust graphics settings.
- Close downloads and unnecessary launchers.
- Disable software you are not using for recording or streaming.
- Repeat the test several times.
- Compare average FPS and 1% lows, not only the highest number shown on screen.
