Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB run Rust?

How many FPS does the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB 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.

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.
