Will reinstalling improve fps?

[HoboJoe527]

So I have rainbow six siege and I've had it installed for a while. There have only been a few minor crashes previously and afterwards not much as happened. I am wondering if reinstalling the game is necessary to improve my fps (i have enough frames atm) I am just wondering if reinstalling will show a noticeable amount of fps increase or should I just leave it as is?

No, FPS should remain about the same unless there was files missing when it was first installed. Verifying the game via Steam or Uplay would help in case there is missing files.

The only way you'll see a performance increase on deleting/reloading is if your drive was fragmented before, or got fragmented during updates. Only way to know for sure you have it installed in a single block (optimal) is to remove > defrag the drive a few times > install. Even then, the gain will 98% of the time be minimal to nothing. This is also assuming you're running it on a HDD, which most people are.

My opinion: if it works, leave it. Not worth the effort.

The only way it would help is if you have lots of apps installed/running combined with possible malware/virus infections.

So clearing all that stuff off of the system would of course help. If that's not the case though, then there won't be a difference.
