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
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 87 FPS. At 1440p, frame rates range from 50 to 110 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 18 to 50 FPS.
The GeForce GTX 780M is 28% below recommended, but 69% above minimum for Rainbow Six Siege. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 420% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-2500K).
The GeForce GTX 780M sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $444. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 87 FPS, equivalent to 0.2 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k high, the GeForce GTX 780M sets the ceiling at about 23 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 359 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 94% (FPS gap: 336 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your GeForce GTX 780M is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 75% | GPU Limits CPU 78% | GPU Limits CPU 79% | GPU Limits CPU 81% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 83% | GPU Limits CPU 87% | GPU Limits CPU 88% | GPU Limits CPU 89% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 88% | GPU Limits CPU 92% | GPU Limits CPU 94% | GPU Limits CPU 94% |
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.
A component can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.
See how your processor and graphics card compare against the game official minimum and recommended system specs. The placement of your hardware is calculated using relative synthetic performance scores to help you gauge overall playability.
Your CPU is 420% below recommended and your GPU is 28% below recommended, but both meet minimum specs. Playable at Low/Medium settings, 1080p or below.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the GeForce GTX 780M can run Rainbow Six Siege smoothly up to 1080p achieving around 87 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 28% below the recommended specs, and your CPU is 420% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $444 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $60 GPU). Since the GPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger GPU will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, upgrading to the GeForce GTX 1080 SLI (móvel) (Rank #2 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Rainbow Six Siege, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The GeForce GTX 780M is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D 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 setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth performance.
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.
