Set all settings to low
set resolution to 720
set your nvidia panel to Prefer max performance
( you might be able to set the graphics slider to 2 or 3 and lower the other options and still get your 50 - 60fps fine )

you should be able to run it fine with a solid 45 - 60fps with enjoyable experience.
also depending on the server also.

(if you get 16gb RAM, youll see much shorter loading times and a smallll FPS gain also since it wont be constantly paging/choking for RAM swap)


Optional: Overclock that GT 1030 by 240...

Originally posted by CaptainNebulous: Half of the streamers in the past two drops basically did 12 to 24 hour streams at the beginning and then were never seen again. So if you weren't there on day 1 or 2 you missed out. I think facepunch should make daily minimum hour requirements for streamers it recruits or risk being them blacklisted from future events.

Long streams like that are unsustainable. Streamers need sleep and need to do other things too.

We don't want streamers to get burned out of Rust and we definitely don't want them to be forced to play Rust when they aren't feeling like it. However, we of course have some minimum expectations from streamers (both in total hours streamed and occurrences).

200,000 people got their drops - not sure how since apparently they were barely online?

There's no way a streamer can adjust their schedule to suit every single Rust player. Between timezones, sleep, personal life, work schedules, etc. You will need to compromise - it's easy to get notifications when someone starts streaming.

What's the server name or IP(s)?
