Rainbow Six Siege X Settings for Low-end PC & Laptops: RTX 3060 & RTX 4060

Rainbow Six Siege X recommends a GeForce RTX 2060 or a Radeon RX 6600 for 1080p 60 FPS+ for high-quality settings. Our low-end setup features an RTX 4060 Laptop, which performs similarly to an RTX 3060 desktop GPU. Here’s how Ubisoft’s competitive shooter performs on RTX 60-class GPUs.

Best Settings for Six Siege X: RTX 3060 & 4060 + Laptop GPUs

Rainbow Six Siege X averages 80-90 FPS on the GeForce RTX 4060 laptop GPU using the “Ultra+” quality settings at 1440p. It’s certainly playable, but we’ll aim for 144-160 FPS, which is more apt for competitive gaming.

We achieved average frame rates of 140-160 FPS with lows of 110-120 FPS at 1440p using the following settings on the RTX 4060 laptop GPU:

• The Shading and Shadow Quality were turned down to “High.”
• The Reflection Quality was set to “Low,” and Ambient Occlusion was disabled.
• LOD was set to “Ultra,” and VFX to “High.”
• We opted for DLSS-Balanced upscaling, but older GPUs (RTX 3060M) might require switching to performance mode.
• We don’t recommend installing “Ultra” textures for 8 GB GPUs. Leave the VRAM Limit at the maximum.

Running at 1080p gives us more headroom. You can enable Ambient Occlusion (SSBC) and medium-quality Reflections (half-res SSR). The shadows and VFX can also be raised to “Very High.”

• The RTX 4060 (laptop) 180-200 FPS using these settings at 1080p with balanced mode upscaling.
• An RTX 3060 should achieve 140-160 FPS using these settings. The mobility variant might require low-quality reflections for a consistent 144 FPS gameplay.

Windows/System Settings to Optimize

• Enable Resizable BAR.
• Turn on Game Mode.
• Enable Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS) and Windowed Optimizations.
• Use the Windows “High Performance” power profile and set your GPU power management mode to the same.
• Overclock your GPU if you’re narrowly missing the 60 FPS mark.
• Ensure you use the proper XMP/EXPO memory profile (if available).
• Disable Memory Integrity.
• Disable Virtual Machine Platform.
• Here’s a guide with more detailed instructions.

CPU Bottlenecks & VRAM Usage

Rainbow Six Siege X uses up to 8 GB of graphics memory even at the highest quality settings, so 8 GB GPU owners shouldn’t have any trouble with VRAM bottlenecks.

Six Siege X is mildly CPU-bound at 1080p, posting a GPU-Busy deviation of 5% on the Core i7-13620H/RTX 4060 laptop. This was mainly felt during scene transitions, so it shouldn’t be an issue.
