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 178 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 134 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 89 FPS.
The Quadro M5500 is 48% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 670) for Rainbow Six Siege. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 506% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-2500K).
The Quadro M5500 sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages. Adjacent heavier settings are lightly stabilized to remove prediction jitter that would otherwise create impossible reversals.
At 1440p ultra, the Quadro M5500 sets the ceiling at about 134 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has headroom up to 468 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 71% (FPS gap: 334 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Quadro M5500 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 53% | GPU Limits CPU 57% | GPU Limits CPU 61% | GPU Limits CPU 66% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 57% | GPU Limits CPU 63% | GPU Limits CPU 67% | GPU Limits CPU 71% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 58% | GPU Limits CPU 64% | GPU Limits CPU 67% | GPU Limits CPU 71% |
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 and then monotonic-smoothed across heavier presets and resolutions, not generic utilization heuristics.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with the Quadro M5500 can run Rainbow Six Siege smoothly up to 4k achieving around 89 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 48% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 506% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $665.38 ($465.38 CPU + $200 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 Quadro RTX 4000 (móvel) for around $900 (Rank #105 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Rainbow Six Siege, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Quadro M5500 is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D 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 9800X3D and Quadro M5500 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.
