Our Top Picks
Rust is notorious for being one of the most resource-intensive games to host. The game's open-world survival mechanics, combined with complex building systems and large player counts, mean your host needs serious hardware.
We focus our Rust benchmarks on single-threaded CPU performance, memory handling during wipe cycles, and stability over 48-hour test periods.
