Best Rainbow Six Siege X PC settings

Rainbow Six Siege X is now out on PC. The game runs well on systems with modest hardware, thanks to the robust optimization Ubisoft is shipping the shooter with. However, expect requirements to be much higher than R6 Siege, as this is a ninth-generation-ready title that requires modern hardware for a high framerate. The minimum system requirements list just an RX 460 2 GB card for 720p 30 FPS. Most modern systems can handle the game at high settings.

In this article, we have listed the ideal settings for a comfortable experience in Rainbow Six Siege X and optimized the lists for a triple-digit framerate, which is important in competitive titles.

Note: For these recommendations to work, ensure your system meets the recommended system requirements for Rainbow Six Siege X (AMD Ryzen 3 1200 @ 3.1 GHz, Intel Core i5-4590 @ 3.3 GHz, or better).
