Video memory (VRAM)
4 GB min · 6 GB rec
The minimum spec lists 4 GB of video memory and the recommended spec 6 GB. On a card with less, lower texture quality first: running out of video memory shows up as stutter or blurry textures, not as a lower average.
Settings to lower first in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege
- 1Resolution or render scale, or upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) where Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege offers it. Rendering fewer pixels is the biggest single saving.
- 2Then shadows, volumetric effects (fog, clouds, lighting) and ambient occlusion: in most games these cost the most frame rate for the least visible difference.
- 3Texture quality only if your card has less than 6 GB of video memory. With enough memory, textures cost little frame rate, so keep them high.
