RTX 3060 Ti Specifications
These are the basic specs. The full RTX 3060 Ti page adds the rest of the technical data and its FPS game by game, not just in Rust.

Rust benchmark on RTX 3060 Ti: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Rust FPS with a RTX 3060 Ti and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 98FPS min 68Good | 77FPS min 60Good | 38FPS min 34Acceptable |
| High | 128FPS min 89Excellent | 100FPS min 78Good | 50FPS min 44Acceptable |
| Medium | 167FPS min 116Excellent | 130FPS min 102Excellent | 65FPS min 57Good |
| Low | 216FPS min 150Excellent | 169FPS min 132Excellent | 85FPS min 75Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 30% | CPU 15% | GPU 39% |
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 7 9800X3D downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3060 Ti. There is 19% 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 3060 Ti with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 98 | 123 | 142 |
| 1440p | 77 | 104 | 127 |
| 4K | 38 | 55 | 70 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3060 Ti 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.
With that CPU, the RTX 3060 Ti has headroom to spare in Rust: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RTX 3060 Ti Enough for Rust?
The RTX 3060 Ti delivers 98 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Rust. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 77 FPS and at 4K 38 FPS at Ultra quality.

Our guide collects the settings that give between +40% and +90% FPS in Rust with barely any visual loss. Recommended settings, GPU-specific tips (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel) and solutions to common game issues.
RTX 3060 Ti or RX 6750 XT for Rust?
In Rust at 1080p Ultra, the RTX 3060 Ti gets 98 FPS and the RX 6750 XT 101 FPS. The RX 6750 XT is 3% ahead.
