Best Rainbow Six Extraction PC Settings: FPS & Performance

Exputer is pulling all the stops to bring you all the latest and greatest content for Rainbow Six Extraction. This best Rainbow Six Extraction settings guide will help you play the game at great performance without compromising on FPS.

Update: Due to Rainbow Six Extraction failing to meet the developer’s expectations, they’ve shut down the development of the game. This means some bugs may get patches here and there won’t be any major updates or content additions.

Best Rainbow Six Extraction Settings

The graphics settings for Rainbow Six Extraction are almost identical to Rainbow Six Seige. However, the optimization isn’t. Rainbow Six Extraction isn’t optimized as well as Seige. But since I had the early access version, hopefully, the optimization will get better with updates.

Quick Graphics Settings Summary

The first section we’ll optimize is the Display section which contains the main settings that affect your screen resolution and viewing experience etc. 

Display Settings

1. Display Mode: Set the game to full-screen to allow your PC to prioritize the game, enhancing frame rate performance.
2. Resolution: Use your monitor’s native resolution (e.g., 1920×1080, 2560×1440) to avoid image degradation and to optimize performance over increasing FPS by lowering resolution.
3. Monitor: For multi-display setups, choose your primary display. The game defaults to the first display if only one is connected.
4. Refresh Rate: Set to the highest available to enhance your gameplay experience, even if the game isn’t as competitive as its counterpart, R6 Siege.
5. Aspect Ratio: Set to auto to allow the game to detect and apply the best aspect ratio for your display.
6. VSync: Turn off to reduce input lag and prevent FPS capping by your monitor’s refresh rate. Enable it only if you experience screen tearing.
7. Field of View: A higher Field of View can show more details but might affect FPS. Adjust between 75 and 100 based on your preference and performance.
8. Brightness: Keep at 50% or adjust higher to ensure visibility in darker game areas without compromising display health.
9. Widescreen Letterbox: Disable this setting to remove unnecessary screen bars, providing a full visual field.
10. HDR: Enable on HDR-compatible displays to significantly enhance visual quality. Be mindful of potential eye strain in darker environments.

Graphics Settings

1. Overall Quality: Set to Custom, allowing you to adjust each setting individually based on your preferences and system capabilities.
2. Resolution Quality: Keep fixed at 100% to prevent dynamic resolution scaling from blurring the visuals.
3. Texture Quality: High – Essential for spotting small traps and environmental details critical to gameplay.
4. Texture Filtering: Set between 8X to 16X. Higher settings like 16X offer clearer textures without a significant performance hit.
5. Nvidia Reflex Low Latency: Enable with the ‘Boost’ option to significantly reduce input lag and enhance response times.
6. Latency Flash Indicator: Keep off, as it serves only to test the Reflex technology and has no gameplay benefit.
7. Nvidia DLSS: Set to Performance mode to maximize FPS. Adjust to Quality if you notice excessive blurriness.
8. Shadow Quality: Medium – Shadows in Extraction are primarily aesthetic, reducing this setting boosts performance.
9. Shading Quality: High for smoother in-game textures, though Medium can be used if prioritizing performance.
10. Reflection Quality: Medium or Low – This setting is resource-intensive due to shiny surfaces in the game; reducing it can help maintain stable FPS.
11. Level of Detail Quality: Medium – Balances the rendering distance with performance, ensuring enemies are visible without overloading the GPU.
12. Effects Quality: Medium – Maintains good visual quality for dynamic effects like explosions and wall breaking without major performance sacrifices.
13. Anti-Aliasing: T-AA with an option to adjust sharpness up to 50% or more, smoothing out textures effectively with minimal hardware impact.
14. Ambient Occlusion: Medium – Enhances visual depth and shadow detail without a significant hit to performance.

Bonus Windows Optimization Tips

Now I’ll be covering all the Windows 10/11 tweaks that will make your game run buttery smooth. So without further waiting, let’s begin. 

• Update Windows: Update your OS to the latest build to get the best features and optimization patches.
• Run R6 Extraction As An Admin: Running Rainbow Six Extraction with administrator privileges will ensure that your game has the highest level of clearance and no other policy or setting can influence it. This results in the best, uninterrupted performance.
• Enable Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling: Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling helps improve gaming and heavy workload performance significantly. You can turn on this setting in Windows Settings > System > Display > Graphics > Change Default Graphics Settings.
• Switch To Ultimate Power Plan: Using this power plan will result in maximum performance in games. You can unlock this option by entering this command in Windows Power Shell: “powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02 -d5df -448d -aa00 -03f14749eb61.”
• Terminate Unnecessary background Apps: This will clear out the load on the CPU to help improve performance in-game.
• Use Windows Game Mode: It helps boost the performance of games but stops any unnecessary background applications. This will divert all the valuable system resources towards Rainbow Six Extraction.

Performance Overview For R6 Extraction

I was fortunate enough to play Rainbow Six Extraction on launch and explore every setting in detail.

The game’s optimization could get better over time, but generally, the state of the game is not bad. With a 3070, I was getting solid performance on 1600p, but switching to 1080p Ultra settings got me over the 100 FPS threshold which was great considering the high-detailed texutres of environments and enemies. 

There have been instances of the game failing to launch or getting FPS drops randomly. This mainly happens when players are running the game on outdated GPU drivers (as also pointed out by Abdul Haddi in his R6 Extraction review).

The game’s optimization is good. Couple that with my best settings and you’ll have the best performance in the game without any issues. I hope that this guide helped you gain more FPS, and for any more questions, you can comment below.
