The Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Ivy Bridge iGPU) is a entry-level card with 2GB of VRAM, and Rainbow Six Siege is a lightweight, high-frame-rate esports title. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 17 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 7 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 7 | 17 |
| 1440p | 4 | 10 |
| 4K | 2 | 6 |
At 1080p expect around 17 FPS, at 1440p about 10 FPS, and at 4K roughly 6 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
