Can I run Rust on my PC?
Use the checker above to find out in seconds. Pick your graphics card and processor and it compares them against Rust's official requirements. As a quick guide, you need at least a AMD Radeon RX 470, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, Intel® Arc™ A580 graphics card, a AMD Ryzen 5 1400 or Intel Core i5-6600 processor, and 12 GB RAM of RAM to play at 1080p.
Can I run Rust on my laptop?
Yes, if your laptop has a dedicated graphics card around a AMD Radeon RX 470, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, Intel® Arc™ A580 or better and 12 GB RAM of RAM. Laptops with only integrated graphics usually fall short. Enter your laptop's GPU in the tool above to check. Keep in mind that the laptop version of a card runs a little slower than the desktop card of the same name, and heat can lower sustained frame rates.
To run Rust you need at least a AMD Radeon RX 470, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, Intel® Arc™ A580 graphics card, a AMD Ryzen 5 1400 or Intel Core i5-6600 processor, and 12 GB RAM. Use the checker above to see whether your PC or laptop clears the bar, then check the full requirements below.

Can I run Rust? Your questions answered
Pick your graphics card and processor in the checker above and it compares them to Rust's requirements. As a guide, you need at least a AMD Radeon RX 470, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, Intel® Arc™ A580, a AMD Ryzen 5 1400 or Intel Core i5-6600, and 12 GB RAM.
The minimum is a AMD Ryzen 5 1400 or Intel Core i5-6600 processor, a AMD Radeon RX 470, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, Intel® Arc™ A580 graphics card, and 12 GB RAM. The full minimum and recommended specs are in the table above.
For a smoother experience Rust recommends a AMD Ryzen 7 3700X or Intel® Core i7-6700K processor, a AMD Radeon RX 6600XT, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, Intel Arc B580 graphics card, and 16 GB RAM.
Yes. The RTX 3050 clears Rust's minimum. Expect 1080p on low to medium settings, and turning on DLSS or FSR gives a smoother frame rate.
Yes. The GTX 1650 clears Rust's minimum. Expect 1080p on low to medium settings, and turning on DLSS or FSR gives a smoother frame rate.
Yes. The GTX 1060 6GB clears Rust's minimum. Expect 1080p on low to medium settings, and turning on DLSS or FSR gives a smoother frame rate.
Yes. The RX 580 clears Rust's minimum. Expect 1080p on low to medium settings, and turning on DLSS or FSR gives a smoother frame rate.
Yes, comfortably. The RTX 4060 is at or above Rust's recommended graphics card, so you can play 1080p on high settings and 1440p is realistic.
