I'm using an Intel i7 9700k paired with an RX 6750XT and 16GB of RAM, but I'm getting really bad performance in certain games. For example, in RUST, I struggle to maintain even 60 FPS at 1080p on the lowest settings. This doesn't seem right for my setup, and I'm looking for some advice or insights on what might be going wrong.

Check your CPU and GPU usage while playing. RUST can be tricky; it tends to rely heavily on single-core performance, which might be limiting your FPS, especially if one core is maxed out. However, I've heard the game's optimization isn't the best, so that might be contributing too.
Sounds like you're having some serious performance issues. Are you experiencing lag during gameplay?
Yes, it's definitely bad FPS. Even on the lowest settings and custom tweaks for max performance, I still only hit around 60-70 FPS at 1080p.

I'll definitely check the core usage, but I've also seen that RUST has poor optimization overall.
