RTX 3050 6GB Specifications
These are the basic specs. The full RTX 3050 6GB page adds the rest of the technical data and its FPS game by game, not just in Rust.

Rust benchmark on RTX 3050 6GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Rust FPS with a RTX 3050 6GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 47FPS min 41Acceptable | 29FPS min 26Poor | 11FPS min 10Unplayable |
| High | 61FPS min 54Good | 38FPS min 34Acceptable | 15FPS min 13Poor |
| Medium | 79FPS min 69Good | 50FPS min 44Acceptable | 19FPS min 17Poor |
| Low | 102FPS min 90Good | 64FPS min 57Good | 25FPS min 22Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 26% | GPU 53% | GPU 82% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3050 6GB. There is 12% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
DLSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Rust at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RTX 3050 6GB with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 47 | 59 | 68 |
| 1440p | 29 | 39 | 48 |
| 4K | 11 | 16 | 20 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3050 6GB does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the RTX 3050 6GB is what caps the frame rate in Rust. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RTX 3050 6GB Enough for Rust?
The RTX 3050 6GB delivers 47 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Rust. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 29 FPS and at 4K 11 FPS at Ultra quality.

RTX 3050 6GB or GTX 1660 Ti Laptop for Rust?
In Rust at 1080p Ultra both land on the same figure: 47 FPS. Price and power draw are what separate them.
