Rainbow Six Siege is one of the most competitive tactical shooters on PC. Here are the specs for smooth, high-FPS gameplay.

What Is Rainbow Six Siege?

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is a tactical 5v5 shooter developed by Ubisoft. Attackers breach a building defended by another team, using unique operator abilities, destructible environments, and gadgets. Since its 2015 launch, it has grown into one of the most-played competitive shooters with 50+ million players.

PC Requirements

Minimum (720p, Low, 60 FPS):
  • CPU: Intel Core i3-560 / AMD Phenom II X4 945
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 / AMD Radeon HD 5870
  • RAM: 6 GB
  • Storage: 85 GB
  • OS: Windows 10 64-bit
Recommended (1080p, High, 60 FPS):
  • CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K / AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 / AMD Radeon HD 7970
  • RAM: 8 GB
Competitive (1080p, Low, 144+ FPS):
  • CPU: Intel Core i7-9700K / AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
  • GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1060 / AMD RX 580 or better
  • RAM: 16 GB

The BattleEye Anti-Cheat

Siege uses BattleEye, a kernel-level anti-cheat. It must be allowed through security software to function properly.

Competitive Optimization

Siege players drop all settings to Low for maximum FPS:
  • Render Scale: 100% (never below 100% — clarity matters for spotting)
  • Texture Quality: Medium (enemies need to be readable)
  • Shadow Quality: Low or Off
  • Ambient Occlusion: Off
  • Anti-Aliasing: FXAA
With these settings, even a GTX 1060 can maintain 144 FPS at 1080p.
