imo the most important bit right here
I wondered how all these massive changes would affect the game’s performance. The textures, models and extra bells and whistles certainly make Rust look more striking, but could they also make the game harder to run and necessitate a change in the system requirements? Garry says that this shouldn’t be the case.
“If anything, once you turn the bullshit like SSAO and motion blur off it should run better on lower end rigs than the old version. We're hearing from people that it performs better than the old version with grass off for them - and that's great to hear because you can't turn grass off in the new version.”
Discuss.
