Best Rainbow Six Siege settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Rainbow Six Siege runs at roughly 70 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 52FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Rainbow Six Siege is a lightweight, high-frame-rate esports title. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 70 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 52 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 70 FPS at 1080p and 61 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 42 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	52	70
1440p	31	61
4K	18	42

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSRQuality+35% FPS

Siege supports DLSS and FSR. The game is extremely well optimized, so this mostly helps at 1440p/4K or on weaker GPUs.

Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS

Surface sharpness — cheap if it fits your VRAM.

Shadow QualityHighbaseline

The main GPU cost. Note: shadows carry information in Siege, so many players keep at least Medium.

Reflection QualityHighbaseline

Surface reflections. Cheap to lower with little gameplay impact.

Ambient OcclusionHBAO+baseline

Contact shadows. SSBC is a cheaper alternative to HBAO+.

Shading QualityHighbaseline

Surface shading detail. Modest cost; safe to lower for frames.

Level of DetailHighbaseline

World geometry detail and draw distance.

Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline

Edge smoothing. TAA is cheap and clean; FXAA is even lighter.

Texture Filtering16xbaseline

Keeps long hallways sharp — effectively free, use 16x.

Lens EffectsOnbaseline

Lens flares and bloom. Nearly free; pure preference.

Zoom-in Depth of FieldOnbaseline

Background blur while aiming down sights. Cheap; many disable it for clarity.

Multisample Anti-Aliasing2xbaseline

Hardware edge smoothing - heavy at higher steps. Off or 2x for high FPS.
