Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege on Intel HD Graphics 520

Below minimumEstimate · medium confidence, ±15%

No. The Intel HD Graphics 520 is below Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege's minimum spec (GeForce GTX 1650). Our model still estimates ~9 fps at 1080p low (range 7–10, medium confidence, ±15%), but cards below the minimum may not be supported. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the Radeon RX 5600 XT (~61 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

Intel Arc card: use XeSS (native on Arc) or FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset. DLSS is not available.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Intel HD Graphics 520 back.
Processor needed for ~9 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Ryzen 5 3600): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~5 fps.
