Rainbow Six Siege X offers greatly improved visual fidelity, and for that, the game is even more demanding than the original title. 1440p represents the modern-day sweet spot for a balance between visuals and performance. The game now supports DirectX 12 to leverage newer hardware efficiently, but it is now more demanding on the hardware. According to player reports, they are experiencing FPS reductions of 40-50% compared to the original title, even on unchanged maps. If you are among those who require the best settings, particularly with 8GB GPUs such as the 3070 and 3070 Ti, this guide will be highly beneficial to you.

Note: If the game fails to start, try turning off Afterburner and Discord overlays. Battleye is likely flagging these, and the game is not starting.

A few keynotes to consider:

  • 1440p is quite intensive on VRAM to begin with. If you use a GPU with 8GB of VRAM, you should download and set up RTSS (MSI Afterburner) for monitoring. After that, adjust textures and shadows so that the game doesn’t stutter.
  • You can keep shadows to medium; this way, you can at least spot enemies, giving you a slight edge, without tanking your framerates.
  • Confirm your monitor’s refresh rate and set it accordingly.
  • You can use DLSS or FSR in Quality or Balanced mode to boost FPS without significantly compromising visual fidelity.
