Hey everyone! I recently built my first PC and I'm facing some serious performance issues. My setup includes a Ryzen 5 7600 CPU and an ASUS TUF Radeon RX 9060 XT with 16GB of RAM, but I can barely get 30 fps on Rust. Here's a rundown of my components:
- CPU: Ryzen 5 7600
- GPU: ASUS TUF Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB
- RAM: Team T-Force Delta 32GB DDR5 6400
- Motherboard: MSI PRO B650-S WIFI AM5
I'm really worried that the motherboard might be the culprit but I hope it's just a software issue. I would love any advice on what to check!

I’m worried you’re experiencing a bottleneck with your Ryzen 5 7600. What settings are you using in the games? Sometimes, the GPU's full potential isn't being utilized. Confirm that your Windows is configured properly too—have you set your refresh rate to 144Hz instead of 60Hz? That might be impacting your experience as well!
I'll definitely look into that. Thanks for the heads-up!
First off, make sure your monitor is plugged directly into the graphics card (GPU) and not the motherboard. That’s a common oversight and could totally affect your performance!
You might need to run a few benchmarks to see if your components are performing as expected. It’ll help determine if something’s off. Also, what resolution and settings are you playing at? Running games at 4K can definitely strain your card. Try lowering the resolution and settings to see if that helps!
Yeah, if it's 4K, that could be causing a big drop in your FPS. Lowering to 1080p might give you a much smoother experience.
I’ll give that a try! Thanks!
It sounds like you might not have installed the necessary drivers. Did you get the latest AMD drivers for your RX 9060 XT and the chipset drivers for your motherboard? It's essential for optimal performance. Also, double-check that you're not running any background apps that could interfere with your gaming. Sometimes, even things like Discord can mess with your FPS!
Also, did you enable the EXPO profile in the BIOS? It can boost your RAM performance a bit.
Good tip! I need to check that.
Did you check that the power cables for the GPU are properly connected? Sometimes it’s easy to miss those, but they’re critical for the card to work correctly. Also, make sure your BIOS is updated and check if all cables are seated firmly.
Exactly! And don't forget to check if the GPU is actually recognized in the BIOS.
That’s a good point! It’s worth checking the display settings in Windows.
