This tactical shooter uses the AnvilNext 2.0 engine and features procedural environmental destruction, which can be taxing on the CPU. The Vulkan API helps older hardware maintain performance by better utilizing available resources. Siege is sensitive to RAM speed and latency. The HD Texture Pack can push VRAM usage over 6GB, so cards with 8GB or more are recommended for the best visual experience at 1080p or 1440p.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors

At 1440p ultra, the GeForce RTX 4060 sets the ceiling at about 222 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has headroom up to 445 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 50% (FPS gap: 223 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4060 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 31% | GPU Limits CPU 33% | GPU Limits CPU 26% | GPU Limits CPU 30% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 36% | GPU Limits CPU 44% | GPU Limits CPU 42% | GPU Limits CPU 50% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 22% | GPU Limits CPU 36% | GPU Limits CPU 36% | GPU Limits CPU 39% |
We estimate the maximum FPS the processor can sustain and the maximum FPS the graphics card can sustain in each setting, then compare those limits directly.
Limit Factor formula: (stronger - weaker) / stronger. Example: if CPU ceiling is 200 FPS and GPU ceiling is 140 FPS, then GPU limits CPU by 30%.
CPU Limits GPU means the processor ceiling is lower. GPU Limits CPU means the graphics ceiling is lower. Balanced means the FPS ceilings are close enough that the gap is negligible.
The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D + GeForce RTX 4060 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 14% and 100% and GPU utilization between 36% and 100%. Ryzen 7 5800X3D reaches high load in heavier scenarios, while GeForce RTX 4060 becomes the primary limiter at high visual load. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 74% at 1080p to 73% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 69% to 57%.
This profile is GPU-bound. At 1080p (Full HD) High, the GeForce RTX 4060 averages 98% usage (97-100%), while the Ryzen 7 5800X3D stays at 41% (36-46%), indicating the graphics pipeline is the limiting stage.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 69% and GPU 74%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 57% and GPU 73%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 57% and GPU 73%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1440p (2K QHD) High is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 26% (14-37%) and GPU 96% (91-100%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4060 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 7 5800X3D remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Both components are stressed near their limits in the heaviest presets (Ryzen 7 5800X3D: 96% avg, GeForce RTX 4060: 98% avg). A targeted upgrade should follow your target resolution: GPU first for higher image quality, CPU first for higher minimum FPS.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D paired with the GeForce RTX 4060 can run Rainbow Six Siege smoothly up to 4k achieving around 105 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 265% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 329% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $728 ($429 CPU (Rank #295 Value) + $299 GPU (Rank #12 Value)). Your build is already very cost-efficient, but if you want even more FPS, the next good option is upgrading the GPU. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti for around $599 (Rank #37 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Rainbow Six Siege, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The GeForce RTX 4060 is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 5800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Rainbow Six Siege does not currently support Frame Generation technologies like DLSS 3 or FSR 3. Your performance is based entirely on native rendering. If the game adds support in a future update, newer GPUs will benefit the most.
Rainbow Six Siege requires at minimum a Core i3-560 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 460 (GPU) with 6 GB RAM and 61 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-2500K and GeForce GTX 670 with 8 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 5800X3D and GeForce RTX 4060 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Rainbow Six Siege FPS results are not arbitrary numbers. They come from calculations informed by thousands of real gaming benchmarks, and the typical accuracy range is around 10% to 15%. That makes them far more useful than generic FPS calculators that simply invent values without a benchmark foundation. Actual in-game performance can still vary with drivers, updates, RAM configuration, cooling, and the exact scene being rendered.
Performance estimates are based on synthetic benchmarks and hardware capabilities.
Results may vary based on drivers, OS, and background processes.
