Rainbow Six: Siege Low FPS
Rainbow Six: Siege Low FPS
Hey everyone, I'm facing a problem with Rainbow Six: Siege that hasn't changed since the game's official release. I recently reinstalled Windows 10 Pro x64 to try and fix it, but nothing has helped. The issue happens occasionally during gameplay—just before a round starts, I notice a sudden drop in my FPS. Normally I'm around 45-50 FPS at 1080p, but it plummets to 5-10 when the problem appears. It's frustrating because I can't manually adjust anything to restore normal performance. Sometimes I close the game and switch contexts for about a minute during low FPS periods (ALT+Tab), but it doesn't seem to solve it. My CPU is running at 3.98GHz with usage around 40-47%, and RAM peaks at 3.3GB. The game tends to use more RAM than expected, which might be contributing. I've shared my PC specs and a DxDiag file for reference.
I've just purchased Arctic Silver 5 thermal grease for my CPU. Right now it's running at around 45°C with the CPU idle and 50°C with the GPU idle. During gameplay it warms up to about 81°C for the CPU and drops to 55°C for the GPU.
