The Best Rainbow Six Siege Settings For High Performance On PC

Players from around the world who indulge in competitive first-person shooters are always trying to find ways to gain an advantage over their enemies, whether that's for competitive play, or simply to gain higher FPS for a trouble-free experience. Rainbow Six Siege players rely on their trusty gaming rigs to provide a smooth and responsive experience, enabling them to play the competitive shooter to the best of their ability without hindering or disadvantaging them.

The following article features the best settings within Rainbow Six Siege to provide high FPS for those aiming to reach a playable state or simply obtain the FPS they need for their monitor refresh rate. These settings provide the best optimization among all Rainbow Six Siege maps and will hopefully not limit your competitive play! 

High FPS Settings For Rainbow Six Siege

These are the general settings to obtain high FPS within Rainbow Six Siege, however, if you decide to change any of the settings for personal preference, the less optimized the configuration will become.

Here are the best graphics settings for high FPS within Rainbow Six Siege:

• Texture Quality: Medium
• Texture Filtering: Anisotropic 4X
• LOD Quality: Medium
• Shading Quality: Low
• Shadow Quality: Low
• Reflection Quality: Low
• Ambient Occlusion: Off
• Lens Effects: Off
• Zoom-In Depth of Field: Personal Preference 
• Anti-Aliasing: Off

Further Recommendations

Players are recommended to cap their FPS at their refresh rate, this is to prevent FPS drops that will lag your computer. For example, if your FPS rests at 100 and suddenly drops to 40 FPS, players will feel slight discomfort and hindrance within their play. Whereas if your FPS is capped at 60, the FPS drop won't affect the player experience as much. Additionally, players who don't achieve high FPS from these settings are likely due to a PC upgrade, however, you're able to turn down the texture quality and texture filtering to make room for further FPS, although the gameplay will be affected due to bad visibility owing to the low settings.
