I get some unplayable FPS drops, what causes that?

[Brandon316]

I get those FPS drops in Rust, I know it's an Alpha game...
But there's a bunch of people running this game with barely any problem, yes, they lag - but it's playable...
I get those FPS spikes every time I load something, such as player built structures (mainly)

Specs:
GTX 960 4 GB
8 ram - 2x4
i5 2400 3.10
P67X-UD3-B3 - Mobo
600 wats PSU

Other people running the game dont have the same hardware. I would go to userbenchmark.com and run a bench. It will test all of your hardware and compare it to other entries. This will tell you if something in your system is not performing as it should.

Obviously they're using a different hardware, I've seen people use the 'Alpha' statement as the only reason why the game preformed like this.

You dont have the greatest GPU in the world and the game is in early access. If the people running the games has a 1080 then they are not going to have nearly as many problems running the game as you do. You also have to consider what resolution and settings they are using. If they are playing on lower resolution with lower settings, they will get better fps.

I don't think it has something to do with my GPU, and let me tell you why.
My friend has the same GPU as I do, he's able to run the game smoothly on higher resolutions.
He plays on 1920 1080
I play on 1280 1024.
He's CPU is i5 around 6000, not sure.
