The Rainbow Six Siege X system requirements have landed, and we now have an idea of what PC hardware we'll need to run the tactical shooter at resolutions up to 4K and frame rates of up to 120fps. This long-awaited update brings some major graphical upgrades, but I still wasn't expecting to see an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super Ti listed in the specs.
While you won't need the Rainbow Six Siege system requirements shows just how far we've come in the last decade of PC hardware.
Here are the Rainbow Six Siege X system requirements:

Take our Rainbow Six Siege X system requirements PC benchmark test to answer the question… Can I run Rainbow Six Siege X?
The Rainbow Six Siege X minimum requirements show what you need to play the game at 1080p and 60fps, which is what all minimum specs should ideally be targeting, but it's especially important in a competitive shooter.
You'll need an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650, AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT, or Intel Arc A380 paired with an Intel Core i3 8100 or AMD Ryzen 3 3100. The RAM requirements are also set at 8GB, which is great news for older or budget gaming PCs, as are the modest U and GPU requirements.
As for the Rainbow Six Siege X recommended specs, they take a slight jump up with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 or AMD Radeon RX 6600 required, alongside an Intel Core i5 10400 or AMD Ryzen 3600.
The RAM requirement also doubles here to 16GB, which could catch out some gamers. Luckily, upgrading to some of the best gaming RAM is one of the cheapest and easiest upgrades currently available. The recommended specs are what you'll need to meet for 120fps gameplay at 1080p.
Here are the Rainbow Six Siege X high and ultra system requirements:
| High (120fps, 1440p) | High (120fps, 4K) | Ultra (120fps, 4K) | |
| OS | Windows 10 or later | Windows 10 or later | Windows 10 or later |
| U | Intel Core i5 10400 AMD Ryzen 5 3600 |
Intel Core i5 11600K AMD Ryzen 7 3700X |
Intel Core i5 11600K AMD Ryzen 5 5600X |
| GPU | Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT |
Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT |
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT |
| VRAM | 8GB | 10GB (Nvidia) 16GB (AMD) | 16GB (Nvidia) 20GB (AMD) |
| Storage | 65GB SSD | 65GB SSD | 110GB SSD |
| RAM | 16GB | 16GB | 16GB |
The Rainbow Six Siege X Ultra specs are what you'll need if you're aiming for 120fps at 4K. You'll need an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super or AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT alongside an Intel Core i5 11600K or AMD Ryzen 5 5600X.
These GPU requirements are quite high for a competitive shooter, even at 4K, but given that Rainbow Six Siege X includes a heavy graphical upgrade, the high-end GPU demands were always expected to climb considerably.
Meanwhile, the Rainbow Six Siege X size currently sits at 65GB, with the best gaming SSD you can afford recommended at all tiers. The overall file size can grow to as big as 110GB if you're aiming for the Ultra graphical preset, where additional textures can be ed.
