Rust - How to BOOST FPS and PERFORMANCE (2025)

[@christiandodart9624]

Why are we downloading and running unofficial files? Commands are being sent through power shell? The only thing that seemed reasonable was changing the registry and even then that’s very dangerous from what I’ve heard. Feels like a “trust me bro” vibe. This is dubious. Your video quality is good though I did a double take that you only have ~200 subs.

Hey! So I wanted to highlight this comment so I can break down what everything does, and why... But I want to preface this with the fact that I would suggest your own judgement, and you're welcome to ignore or not use any of these steps. Stepping into things, let's look at each file, one by one, and explain what they do. The Assets folder houses all of the physical installers for VisualC (that are addressed later) along with a .pow file which is a powerplan file for Windows. Power plans can only adjust things like screen timeout, processor affinity, etc. Back to the main folder we go. We have the official DirectX installer package, self explanatory. I'll also ignore the docx files as they're simply text documents. The first .cmd/.bat file is the Performance Power Plan Creator. All CMD and Bat file source code can be viewed via right-click+edit. Inside, you'll find this simply imports the power plan file, and sets it as the active plan. Next, the powershell "Remove Bloatware" script. These can also have their source code viewed via right-click+edit. Inside, you'll see every command run "Remove-AppxPackage" or "Remove-WindowsPackage" That is because it is only removing the autoinstalled bloatware in windows (3dviewer, officehub, zunemusic, yourphone, maps, soundrecorder, etc) Clearly, this script is only removing already installed items, and you can view what each one is inside of there but they're all misc items. Nothing essential. Next up is the Update and Install VisualC bat/cmd file. Again, we'll right-click+edit it to view it's source. Inside, you will see it simply launches the installers one by one from that Assets folder we spoke about earlier. Next is the Registry Tweaks (.reg file) Again, we can view the source code via right-click+edit to see this simply adjust the following: Elevate powershell to remotesigned, enable hardware acceleration, backgroundmode, and startupboost, disable edge update, disable edge elevation service, disable edgeupdate manager, do the same things to chrome that we did to edge and windows explorer... and finally set policies for fileexplorer to disable keywording and recently added app suggestions. There's a lot more to it than that, so I encourage you and others to view the files yourself and decide. That brings us to the Windows Timer Resolution Tweak, the only .exe in the folder. The file is signed and written officially from timerresolution.com/; we simply sourced the "minimal" version released on Github. You can view it's source code there. I hope this clears things up, and takes away from the "trust me bro" vibe. Thank you kindly for the quality compliment, be sure to like comment and subscribe if you'd like to see more as I try my best to screen these things myself; or in this videos case, I actually wrote the bat files myself too!

It would be rad if you took the time to edit your comment, having learned what things do and how to check them now.

You could have shown how much you boosted your fps after all these actions taken

[@jayfromjax]

@@tomaszsz9021 I did something like that for my seven days to die video, but I felt like it was inaccurate for most people because the differences will be rather different for each system however, I will probably start including it again since you mentioned it

[@tomaszsz9021]

@ is this worth doing on high-end pcs?

[@jayfromjax]

@@tomaszsz9021 I personally have a R5 2600, 32 GB DDR4 RAM, and a 5700XT and still saw some decent benefit. The thing is, your goal/target moves as your pc specs do. For example, these steps might help a low-end spec system achieve closer to 60 fps which is great, but for the higher end guys like myself, we want 100fps for our 100+ hz monitors, and therefor it would still seriously benefit to improve frames. I was getting 60-70 fps on avg prior, and 90 to 120 fps avg now. It's way smoother. In short, I believe it will benefit anyone with any system, it just depends what you're trying to do.
