Rust on Radeon RX 6600 XT

Meets recommendedEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes. The Radeon RX 6600 XT meets Rust's recommended spec. We estimate ~64 fps at 1080p high (range 51–76, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the low preset (~45 fps on high). 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: high preset
60 fps at 1440p: low preset
144 fps at 1080p: not reachable

AMD card: use FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset (XeSS also works). DLSS is not available on Radeon.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Radeon RX 6600 XT back.
Processor needed for ~64 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, ~64 fps.

Video memory

Radeon RX 6600 XT: 8 GB
The publisher lists no video memory requirement.
