On a AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), Rainbow Six Siege runs at roughly 150 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 152FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Rainbow Six Siege is a lightweight, high-frame-rate esports title. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it flies at 1080p — about 150 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.
Across resolutions you can expect around 150 FPS at 1080p and 90 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 69 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
