About running Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is a 2015 Shooter title. It asks very little of a modern PC, which is a large part of why it stayed popular. The published minimum is built around Intel Core i3-560 paired with NVIDIA GTX 460; the recommended tier moves up to Intel Core i5-2500K and NVIDIA GTX 670. It asks for 8 GB of memory either way, plus about 61 GB of free disk space. On a machine that clears the recommended tier, the thing most likely to cost you frames is whatever else is running at the same time.
How to improve Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege performance
- Close what you're not using. Browsers, chat apps and launchers sit on RAM and CPU while Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege runs. On a machine near the minimum this is usually the single biggest win available.
- Check your actual refresh rate and resolution. Running below your monitor's native resolution costs less than most people expect; running above your refresh rate buys nothing at all.
- Update the graphics driver. New releases routinely ship driver-side fixes. For a 2015 title on an older card this can be the difference between stutter and smooth.
- Put the game on an SSD. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege wants about 61 GB. On a mechanical drive the frame rate may be fine while texture pop-in and load times are not.
- Free the memory before you launch. Windows accumulates background services that never give memory back. FixKon clears them out in one pass, which matters most when you're on 8–8 GB.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege requirements FAQ

- Can I run Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege on a NVIDIA GTX 460?
