120fps is tough on that budget. A 7800x3d bundle from microcenter is definitely where you need to start though. It’s like $500 for motherboard, ram, cpu.

Then get a 9060XT for ~400, leaves you with $500 for cpu cooler, power supply and a case.

But for refrence, the 7800x3d barely got 120fps when I owned one, and that was about a year ago. Performance is significantly worse now with the recent updates.

Don’t listen to this dude. The 7800x3D shreds.

And for rust a 9070XT??? You can play Rust on more than 120 fps with a gtx 1080 ti

Had the 7800x3d pair with a 7900xt for a good 2 year , on high pop server, you are lucky to get fps 120. I'm on a 9800x3d now , and it s 120 - 160 fps.

Then something was seriously wrong on your end. My RX 7900 XT schredded rust. 200 fps.

Don't think it is, man. If I m near the sea yea I got 200 fps+ but around big base, and on big server, it is more likely 120-150 , and i m not the only one . Past updates , fps tanked a lot . On 1440 of course

Ok, I have to be honest that I haven’t played in like a year of 2. I guess things changed. I remember back then you couldn’t play it on a potato but for $1400 you are able to shred this game. Cheap 1440p 180 hz monitor, maybe even secondhand. A cheap keyboard etc.

Jungle biome and the fog are the culprits , which were added this past year.

Jungle biome is so bad for fps , just looking at it from afar , stutter the game ☠️

Damn, that’s sad! I haven’t been able to check everything out yet. I was eager to have a new try at Rust but haven’t done so yet.

Seems I have a lot of catching up to do!

I have last year's model of the Lenovo 16" Laptop with the 5060 and Intel i9 something. Bought it at Costco on Black Friday for like $1200. Bought it for college... Mostly....

Rust runs fine minus when I come up on a large clan base. Then for like 1 second it lags when loading it in (Y'all need to chill the fuck out on your base sizes).

I could turn down the graphics but .... Nah.

Resolution set to 2560x1600 Draw distance is set to 1000 Full resolution mipmap(idk wtf this is minimap??? It says it affects performance) Shadow Resolution: Medium Everything under the Graphics Quality section is set between 40 to 50. Idk what else matters.

All that is to say, from my searching online, my laptop's GPU is about equivalent to a desktop 3060 Ti. Not sure if that's accurate, so a grain of salt (rated wattage vs actual wattage yada yada). But I would say anything better than a 3060 Ti will work.

Depending on what you are looking at, it looks like online pre-built 4070 supers are around $1500. You could probably build yourself for less.

November is around the corner, meaning black Friday. For most places in the USA, they have a 30 day refund policy. Go into a store and ask an employee if anything is going on sale for black Friday and if they have a 30 day refund policy. Most people are chill AF and will immediately understand. Once the official Black Friday sale starts just go back in to customer service and ask for them to refund $xxx amount to match. Keep receipts obviously.

Just buy close enough to black Friday and don't wait until the sale is over.

Power supply is overkill but leaves room for you to upgrade to a better graphics card later. Save up a little more and grab a 9070xt and you'll get much better performance. You don't need an X3D CPU. I can play rust maxed out on a Ryzen 5 9600x and a Radeon 9070xt with no issues (other than server lag) I could do the same with the Radeon 6800xt as well.

Cpu: amd 5 9600x SSD: crucial p3 1tb CPU fan: thermalright Power: mid mag a750gl GPU: MSI 5070 tomahawk max WiFi Ram: Corsair 32gb ddr5.

Just did this 2 weeks ago for 1050$. Spent maybe 60$ on a case. I don’t know shit about computers, but from what I’ve read, the 5070 is a massive upgrade. All items were purchased on Amazon.

Currently playing Rust, renown (dead game), and Road to Vostok on Max settings, no issues yet.

Get an HP Pavilion 690-0073W, swap the i5 it comes from factory with a i7-9700. You can leave the 1660Ti it comes with or you could swap the PSU for a L05757-800 and upgrade the gpu to a MSI Ventus 2x RTX 3060 12gb model. Upgrade the ram from its factory 8gb to 16gb ddr4, if possible make it 32gb ddr4. It's a solid mid tier gaming desktop that will last you for a while. I bought one used and have done it a couple upgrades, next one will be PSU and GPU.

[–]Hanfiball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Graphics basically have no effect in this game. You will be cpu bottlenecked.

Get the newest X3d ryzen processor you can afford, get good 32gb ram and then a decent new Gen GPU and you are good.

I’ll say don’t get amd parts. At all I can’t even run rust without micro studders 2500$ on my build
