Question Greatly under performing for the quality of my GPU

I bought a 3060 a couple of months back mainly to play rust at higher fps, but I still consistently underperform. Does anyone know why this is happening? I feel like I have tried every little trick whether that's drivers or in-game settings. If anyone could help me out that would be great.

I get roughly 60-70 fps in unpopulated and outskirt portions of the map, and around 40-60 in the normal areas.

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor 3.59 GHz, 32.0 GB of ram, RTX 3060, 2560x1440 144hz, Motherboard ROG STRIX x570-e Gaming, I also got my SDD but I don't exactly remember the name but its really good, and my PSU which I don't remember what it is and I can't check right now but I'm pretty sure it's strong I remember doing research in the past over it. Edit- I can check soon maybe all along that could be the problem

The RTX 3060 is a 1080p class of GPU; using it to play a modern game like Rust at 1440p is going to result in frame rates like the ones you have been observing. If you wanted to play Rust at 1440p and high frame rates, you should have upgraded to something like a RTX 3060 Ti, RTX 3070, or RTX 3070 Ti.

Should I play in 1080p?

Playing in 1080p on a 1440p monitor looks horrible in my opinion due to uneven pixel mapping.

I'm not sure which came first, your RTX 3060 or your 1440p monitor, but they aren't matched very well. You should have either bought a more powerful GPU to fit your monitor, or bought a 1080p monitor to fit your less powerful GPU. The way I see it, you have a few options (some good, some not so good):

  1. Upgrade your GPU (again)
  2. Play in 1080p on your 1440p monitor (won't look very good)
  3. Play Rust on low settings to boost your frame rate higher

Ok I already have optimized and reduced my rust settings as much as possible, but I'll begin to renter the market for a better 30 series GPU. I do think I have an older monitor to spare to use for playing which can help me in the meantime. Any chance you can help me with my PC's performance as it's pretty bad from what I see from the userbenchmark test or should I just leave it to the other guy. Thanks for helping me I'm kinda new to forums stuff like this and it's pretty great getting the answers and solutions to my problems.

Sure, I'd be happy to help.

It seems to me like there is another issue with your build: your RAM is running at 2133 MHz which is very slow. Ryzen CPUs are very sensitive to RAM speed and run slower when paired with slow RAM. A slow CPU can reduce your frame rate, so having RAM of an adequate speed is important.

Go to your PC's BIOS and enable XMP (RAM overclocking). This should allow your RAM to run at a higher speed and should make things run better overall. Once this has been done, run userbenchmark again and post your results again.

Rust is very cpu intensive and this should make a decent improvement

is your GPU pegged at high usage in game?

UBM run: Incomplete. It failed during the gpu portion of the test; that's why there's nothing listed next to the gpu.
1)Background cpu activity was too high. Left the browser or some other program(s) running. Should've been 10% or lower.

2)Cpu. Well, it was preoccupied with something(s) other than running the benchmark, so of course it did poorly.

3)Ram. XMP/DOCP wasn't enabled. Ram possibly in the wrong slots on the motherboard.

I'm gonna rerun the test for you guys with only that specific tab open on my PC and nothing else, then I'll try your guy's solutions. Not sure what it means to have my gpu pegged at high usage but I'll google real quick (Sorry I'm not the most experienced when it comes to PCs, I built mine on barebones knowledge) Thanks guys!

Hey guys I reran the test with nothing open and CPU usage below 10% hopefully its more accurate now. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/46195303

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X - 81.4%
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3060 - 86.2%

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB - 104.1%
RAM: Corsair CMW32GX4M2D3600C18 2x16GB - 68.2%
MBD: Asus ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING
(I have not done the ram fix yet)

I can see now after in the more accurate test I have dropped even father in the percentile

Did you DDU-remove the previous gpu drivers before installing the current ones?
[DDU is Display Driver Uninstaller.]

Maybe, I did some stuff earlier with DDU but my first time using it is today so I'm not 100% sure how to work it. I did the clean and do not restart option for my GPU and restarted it later. I'm going to do the clean and restart now hopefully that fixes the issues. I did the DOCP change in the BIOS, I'll send another test when I complete this restart with DDU.

Did you install your NVIDIA drivers after running DDU? It sounds to me like you're running DDU but not installing drivers afterwards
