The PC struggles during Rainbow Six Siege at the lowest configurations, experiencing frame drops from 144fps to lower rates even when using a weaker GPU. Despite this, it still manages to deliver over 200 frames per second. You can watch the full performance review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wtfy-7i3Qis. In the end, he opts for lower settings to maintain stability.
My GPU is a GTX 1070 Ti with 1060 MHz, it delivers nearly double the frames per second compared to your setup.
Well then, if the game relies heavily on the CPU, the graphics card becomes irrelevant. Running both machines at maximum settings would likely give you an edge over him.
He only achieved 200fps during that drone mode. In regular gameplay he usually hit around 120-140 fps. Lowering graphics settings reduces strain on the GPU but puts more load on the CPU. If he boosts his CPU, it actually improves performance.
Occasionally your performance problems might simply require a BIOS update. I've noticed significant improvements in CPU, GPU, and M.2 NVMe speeds just by ensuring the latest BIOS version is installed. If you've checked all other settings, try resetting the BIOS, updating it to the newest release, reconfiguring it, and then restarting.
