Check Your PC Performance for Rainbow Six Siege Gameplay Ensure your system is optimized for smooth gameplay.
Hello. I joined the forums recently to ask about this issue: I want to record gameplay of Rainbow Six Siege using my laptop, but even without recording it struggles to maintain 60fps. I’m trying to figure out why my machine isn’t handling the game at that frame rate. My system specs are: Acer Aspire E 14 E5-475G-58WK, Intel Core i5-7200U 2.5GHz with Turbo up to 3.1Ghz, NVIDIA GeForce 940MX with 2 GB VRAM, and 4 GB DDR4 memory. It’s important to note that my CPU is soldered onto the motherboard and can’t be upgraded. After benchmarking with Cinebench, my score was 249. When playing Terrorist Hunt mode with Task Manager open, the CPU usage reached 100%, RAM averaged 91%, and the GPU was around 80%. My question is whether upgrading or replacing my laptop would allow me to reach 60fps and record gameplay, or if a new device is necessary. Thank you.
It won't work, so I don't recommend purchasing a laptop for this. If it functions, consider using it as a laptop and opt for a desktop for gaming.
Eh... Battlefield 1, GTAV and Watch Dogs tend to use more. Yes, for an e-sport title R6 consumes a lot of resources. But using Shadowplay to capture your games, like I do, keeps my CPU usage under 50% even on a 4c/8t processor. Of course, if you plan to stream or record with tools offering more flexibility such as FRAPS or OBS, you'd need more than that CPU power—something like a Ryzen 7 would be better. But just to play the game doesn’t need an R7 CPU right away. @Ashiella also mentioned that R6 appears to distribute the workload across threads, and she observed better performance when SMT is turned off, since the SMT threads are actually slower than the real cores.
