RX 6600 Specifications
These are the basic specs. The full RX 6600 page adds the rest of the technical data and its FPS game by game, not just in Rust.

Rust benchmark on RX 6600: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Rust FPS with a RX 6600 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 64FPS min 56Good | 45FPS min 40Acceptable | 19FPS min 17Poor |
| High | 83FPS min 72Good | 59FPS min 52Acceptable | 25FPS min 22Poor |
| Medium | 109FPS min 95Good | 77FPS min 68Good | 33FPS min 29Acceptable |
| Low | 141FPS min 123Excellent | 100FPS min 88Good | 42FPS min 37Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | balanced | GPU 27% | GPU 69% |
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 5600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 6600. There is 20% 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.
FSR 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 RX 6600 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 64 | 80 | 93 |
| 1440p | 45 | 61 | 74 |
| 4K | 19 | 28 | 35 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 6600 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 FSR 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.
The RX 6600 and that processor are well matched in Rust: neither clearly holds the other back, so the table figures are a fair reflection of the pair. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RX 6600 Enough for Rust?
The RX 6600 delivers 64 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Rust. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 45 FPS and at 4K 19 FPS at Ultra quality.
Want more FPS in Rust?
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.
RX 6600 or RTX 2060 12GB for Rust?
In Rust at 1080p Ultra both land on the same figure: 64 FPS. Price and power draw are what separate them.
