• I have a rtx 3080 12gb vram, 32gb ddr4, ryzen 9 5900x
• I'm on custom settings but tailored to medium - low.
• I used to get over 100 frames like 2 years ago, ive reinstalled earlier this month and barley keep a steady 50. My GPU sits at 38% and my CPU sits around 40% or so.

I've tried several fixes like launch options, going into windows -> settings and graphics and prioritizing 3080 for rust. Tried setting rust to high priority in task manager but "Access was denied" apparently could be cuz of EAC. So then I created an entry in the windows registry editor to prioritize High priority and still no change. Most fixes were suggested by good ol gpt and gemini but to no avail.

Also made me download GPU Z and give them certain readings. YES my monitor is plugged into my GPU. YES i dont have rust limited to a frame limit. NO i dont have vsync on.
