Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 run Rust?

Yes, below recommended

Yes, though the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 is fast enough for Rust's recommended card but has 8 GB of video memory against the 12 GB listed. Expect about 60 FPS at 1080p on high, with textures turned down a step.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 and Rust: questions

Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 run Rust?

Yes, though the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 is fast enough for Rust's recommended card but has 8 GB of video memory against the 12 GB listed. Expect about 60 FPS at 1080p on high, with textures turned down a step.

How many FPS does the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 get in Rust?

Modelled on high settings without upscaling: 60 FPS at 1080p, 37 at 1440p and 22 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.
