1080p is still the bread and butter for many gamers. According to the Steam Hardware Survey, it remains the most commonly used desktop resolution. For FPS games, particularly competitive-oriented ones like Rainbow Six Siege X, 1080p is the way to go. Siege X now uses updated visuals and a newer rendering API, such as DirectX 12, which makes the game significantly heavier to run.

More than 40% of players have reported lower FPS values even on unchanged maps. If you are playing on GPUs with 4GB VRAM, such as the GTX 1650, 1050 Ti, or even on laptop models, these competitive settings will likely alleviate all the performance issues you are encountering.

Note: Try turning off MSI Afterburner if the game doesn’t start; BattleEye anticheat is likely flagging it as a false positive.

A few keynotes to consider:

  • For budget gamers and hardcore esports enthusiasts, 1080p remains the sweet spot. On a system with 4GB VRAM, you can still lower VRAM-hungry options, such as textures and shadows, to further improve performance.
  • DLSS/FSR: Any of these upscaling methods can deteriorate image quality. First, these are competitive settings, and second, upscaling lowers the internal render resolution, so you are sacrificing a significant amount of visibility and image quality if you choose to upscale.
  • Always keep your drivers up to date; sometimes updates make significant changes.
  •  Keep shadows at least at medium, and set FOV between 83 and 90. This will give you the edge in spotting enemies from close angles.

Conclusion

That wraps up the Siege X 1080p best settings guide. For users with 4GB VRAM, you explicitly need RTSS (MSI Afterburner) to monitor VRAM usage and adjust settings on the fly. If the 4GB VRAM buffer is exhausted, the game will become increasingly unplayable, resembling a stutterfest.
