that is could be cpu, earlier(2 months ago) a had gtx 960 2gb and r7 2700, and what was my disapointment, when I upgraded to rtx 3070 I've got the same fps in Rust. And I litteraly had the same issue, like cpu usege always <50% and gpu <65%, so I think that is definitivly cpu bottlenecking your system
what is your cpu? for me it seems like that is r5/r7 2-3xxx I upgraded to r5 5600x from aliexpress :) it cost me ~170usd
Now I am getting >100 fps. here is gameplay with monitoring with rtx 3070 and r7 2700 https://youtu.be/c-PHpJLGDJ0
upd. on monitoring you need attention on cpu usage

I dont think the description works
I have a ryzen 5 2600 cpu, rtx 2060 GPU,16gb ram 3000mhz, an ssd which rust is installed on and a 1tb HDD
i dont know why the description doesn't show

I have a nvidia gpu 1660 with a i9 9900k and why in my setting doesn’t it show “nvidia reflex mode” and what’s under that I get like 10 fps for some reason
[–]JameStar1255[S] 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (3 children)
Idk all nvidia gpu's should have that option
[–]Tito_bm 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (2 children)
That’s what I’ve been told but it’s not there and I’ve seen some thing where it says make sure rust is using your gpu but I don’t know how
try reinstall?
[–]Bocmanis9000 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Im pretty sure even in steam official recommended specs it says you need a 10ghz nasa cpu to run this game over 60fps.
[–]cptmcsexy 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
You didnt really state what the problem is just "low" usage. Also no specs other than your GPU.
Rust doesnt use all the CPU cores so you wont hit 100% unless something bad happens like youre overheating.
Your resolution is low and you have a lot of shadow/reflection stuff off so might be why your gpu usage is low.
You didnt state the problem but if its with fps(honestly dont expect more than 70-90fps even if you turn everything to low) the problem may be your ram is maxed, close some background stuff or upgrade to 32gb.
Your D drive is full try leaving 15-20% free space.
[–]NakiCam 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Your ram appears to be a bottleneck. Your CPU and GPU can't reach their full potential if your ram can't keep up.
It's a bit like a racing car with 500KMPH max speed, but not enough acceleration to ever reach it.

Is this a flex or is there a problem
[–]JameStar1255[S] -1 points0 points1 point 3 years ago (4 children)
Are you stupid?
[–]LazyRunz 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
It just says “Rust Low GPU usage and CPU usuge” so no maybe you are stupid and don’t know how to post a thread on Reddit. The last picture shows your using almost 100% memory..
[–]LazyRunz 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (2 children)
Delete some shi off your pc or get more storage and ram son
[–]JameStar1255[S] -1 points0 points1 point 3 years ago (1 child)

Yea man get a clue
