Rust on GeForce GTX 1660 Super

Meets minimumEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes, at lower settings. The GeForce GTX 1660 Super meets Rust's minimum spec but not the recommended one. We estimate ~42 fps at 1080p high (range 34–50, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1080p, use the low preset. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the GeForce RTX 3060 12GB (~60 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

Estimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.

Best settings

60 fps at 1080p: low preset
60 fps at 1440p: not reachable
144 fps at 1080p: not reachable

This GeForce card has no tensor cores, so DLSS is not available. Use FSR or XeSS in quality mode before dropping the preset.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce GTX 1660 Super back.
Processor needed for ~42 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Ryzen 7 3700X): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~42 fps.

Video memory

GeForce GTX 1660 Super: 6 GB
