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 60 FPS and the 1% low is 33 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 33 FPS, frame drops below 60Hz cause visible stuttering. GTX TITAN X usage at 96% is the bottleneck.

Critical GPU Usage

GPU usage hit 96% while CPU sat at 42%. Your GTX TITAN X is the bottleneck, upgrade, lower graphics settings or resolution to increase FPS.

Hot GPU Temp

GPU peaked at 85°C, thermal throttling detected. Clean dust filters, GPU heatsink, or improve case airflow.

Critical VRAM Usage

GPU VRAM usage averaged 10.9 of 12 GB (peaked at 91%). Lower graphics settings or resolution to avoid stutters from VRAM pressure.
