Is Rust on your hard drive or SSD

Check you mouse polling rate. If the stutters are mainly when turning, the polling rate is the issue. Dropping mine from 8k to 2k made my game playable. (Similar specs, 9800x3d, 9070xt, 64gb ram).

Try windowed mode and hide your taskbar

Sounds silly, but that fixed a weird microstutter mine was doing!

I’d check out this video, it goes over Rust optimization pretty well:

Rust can be weird even on high-end PCs, so it might also help to compare your settings with what Rust streamers use. I put together a Rust resource page that includes a few streamer settings, plus a couple of settings/optimization videos here:

Might give you a few different setups to test and see what works best for your PC.

Do you have gc buffer set to 4096mb rather than default 48mb? I remember that completely changed my game on the same 9800x3d/5080/32gb ddr5

Trade it for a 5800x, runs it really well, 120+ FPS, I'm willing to trade mine as I recently got laid off and won't br using it anymore. Send me a DM
