Best Rust settings for the NVIDIA RTX 4060 (2026)
On a NVIDIA RTX 4060 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i7-10700K-class CPU), Rust runs at roughly 102 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 102FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|
| 1080p | 102 | 102 |
| 1440p | 61 | 61 |
| 4K | 31 | 61 |
💡 Rust: Large servers lean on the CPU; lower Object Draw Distance first.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSOff
Rust supports DLSS and FSR. A free FPS boost - enable it first, though large servers also lean on your CPU.
Object Draw DistanceMediumbaseline
How far bases and objects render - one of the heaviest settings on big servers. Medium is the value pick.
Shadow QualityLowbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. Many players run Low for FPS.
Water QualityMediumbaseline
Reflections and detail on water. Medium is plenty.
Grass / FoliageMediumbaseline
Grass and plant density. Lower it for both FPS and clearer sightlines.
Particle QualityMediumbaseline
Smoke, fire and effects - a cost during raids. Medium keeps fights smooth.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface sharpness - cheap on FPS if it fits your VRAM.
