Rainbow Six Siege
About Rainbow Six Siege
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is Ubisoft's tactical, destruction-based 5v5 shooter. Attacking and defending teams choose from dozens of operators, each with unique gadgets; breaching walls to create new sightlines, setting traps, and using drones and cameras for intel form the core of play. Its slower, more deliberate pace sets it apart from many competitive shooters, and it has built a major esports scene over the years, headlined by the Six Invitational.

How can I get more FPS in Rainbow Six Siege?
In fast competitive shooters like this, favour frame rate over looks: use low shadow and effects quality, keep textures moderate, and cap FPS slightly below your monitor's refresh rate for steadier frame times. Rainbow Six Siege recommends 8 GB of RAM, so check your memory before changing any other setting. Keep your graphics card drivers up to date, lower a few graphics settings (shadows, reflections, draw distance), close unnecessary background apps, and try disabling V-Sync.
