NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and Rust: questions

Can the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti run Rust?

Yes, though the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is fast enough for Rust's recommended card but has 11 GB of video memory against the 12 GB listed. Expect about 67 FPS at 1080p on high, with textures turned down a step.

How many FPS does the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti get in Rust?

Modelled on high settings without upscaling: 67 FPS at 1080p, 42 at 1440p and 24 at 4K, with a processor that meets the game's recommendation.

Which card would run Rust at the recommended spec?

The lowest launch price among recent cards that meet it belongs to the Intel Arc B580 ($249).

Does my processor change this?

Yes, more than usual: Rust leans on the processor, so an older chip can pull these numbers down. Check the pairing in the bottleneck calculator.
