Can someone help ? :lol:

Okay so a few days ago I found some footage of the game Rust , it looks awesome so I brought it.

Computer specs and DXdiag at bottom of post ⇩ ⇩

The only problem is my FPS is quite low avg of 26-27 FPS. I have all setting on pretty much the lowest without making the game look like its made of Play-Doh or modeling clay HAHA. :lol:

Sometimes I will go in certain parts of a map that's populated and the FPS drops all of a sudden to 17-FPS which is kind of understandable but then there are other times where my game drops to 6 FPS and I can't move my character model for 5 or 6 seconds then the FPS increases again and I can proceed with what i was doing.

I play Rust with two friends one has a R9 270 2GB and the other a GTX 750ti 2GB. The one with a 750ti can run the game at similar FPS as my with no random 6FPS freeze and the one with the R9 270 has no problems avg fps = 45-50-60 at some places with settings turn up more than me or the 750ti guy. AM i able to run directx 12 with my card XFX AMD HD 6870 1GB GDDR5 ? as I am currently using 11.2 (DIAG BELOW)

Sorry to say, that's a very old card.
In fact, it's in legacy support, meaning they are not making driver updates for this card.
I would guess the issues you see are from out dated drivers.
So as you can probably guess, dx12 is out of the question.
Might be time for an upgrade bud.

Rust supports directx 12, and windows 10 has directx 12 implemented into it already, i ws just wondering if it would increase my fps if i used it.

Thanks for the help. Installed the last Legacy Driver 16.x.x.x I was on the latest catalyst drrivers on 15.x.x.x. I used DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to remove all trace of the last driver then installed the latest and final legacy driver for my card. Thanks Bro
