Best Rainbow Six Siege settings for the ROG Ally X (Z1 Extreme) (2026)

On a ROG Ally X (Z1 Extreme) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Rainbow Six Siege runs at roughly 113 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 114FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The ROG Ally X (Z1 Extreme) is a handheld 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 great at 1080p — about 113 FPS with 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 113 FPS at 1080p and 68 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 63 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
