This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the Core i3-10300T sets the ceiling at about 68 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 119 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 43% (FPS gap: 51 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 11/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 1/12.
Your Core i3-10300T is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 4090 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 36% | CPU Limits GPU 28% | CPU Limits GPU 29% | CPU Limits GPU 42% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 15% | CPU Limits GPU 7% | CPU Limits GPU 11% | CPU Limits GPU 32% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 21% | CPU Limits GPU 27% | CPU Limits GPU 43% |
We estimate the maximum FPS the processor can sustain and the maximum FPS the graphics card can sustain in each setting, then compare those limits directly.
Limit Factor formula: (stronger - weaker) / stronger. Example: if CPU ceiling is 200 FPS and GPU ceiling is 140 FPS, then GPU limits CPU by 30%.
CPU Limits GPU means the processor ceiling is lower. GPU Limits CPU means the graphics ceiling is lower. Balanced means the FPS ceilings are close enough that the gap is negligible.
A component can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

The Core i3-10300T + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 34% and 78% and GPU utilization between 41% and 66%. Core i3-10300T stays in a controlled operating range, while GeForce RTX 4090 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 52% at 1080p to 57% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 74% to 43%.
The utilization pattern is relatively even. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 58% average at its highest-load preset, while the Core i3-10300T peaks at 74% average. This suggests a fairly controlled load distribution, but the actual FPS-limiting side should still be read from the limiter analysis above.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 74% and GPU 52%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 46% and GPU 55%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 43% and GPU 57%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
4K (Ultra HD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 43% (35-51%) and GPU 58% (49-66%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Core i3-10300T remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Core i3-10300T and GeForce RTX 4090 remain reasonably matched for this title.
Understanding Hardware Utilization: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. They describe hardware load, but they do not directly tell you which component sets the FPS ceiling.
Important: a CPU or GPU can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. Two processors can both show 40% usage and still deliver very different frame rates, depending on per-core speed, cache, engine threading, driver overhead, and frame preparation efficiency.

Yes, the Core i3-10300T paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run ARC Raiders smoothly up to 4k achieving around 69 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 136% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 55% below the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1749 ($100 CPU (Rank #251 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Since the CPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger processor will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, the Ryzen 9 9950X is a great upgrade option for around $649 (Rank #5 for value).
For ARC Raiders, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Core i3-10300T is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 4090 has extra headroom that a faster processor could take advantage of. This is especially noticeable at 1080p where CPU performance matters more. CPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
ARC Raiders does not currently support Frame Generation technologies like DLSS 3 or FSR 3. Your performance is based entirely on native rendering. If the game adds support in a future update, newer GPUs will benefit the most.
ARC Raiders requires at minimum a Core i5-6600K (CPU) and GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (GPU) with 12 GB RAM and 35 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-9600K and GeForce RTX 2070 with 16 GB RAM. Your hardware falls below the minimum requirements for this game, which may result in poor performance.
These ARC Raiders FPS results are not arbitrary numbers. They come from calculations informed by thousands of real gaming benchmarks, and the typical accuracy range is around 10% to 15%. That makes them far more useful than generic FPS calculators that simply invent values without a benchmark foundation. Actual in-game performance can still vary with drivers, updates, RAM configuration, cooling, and the exact scene being rendered.
Performance estimates are based on synthetic benchmarks and hardware capabilities.
Results may vary based on drivers, OS, and background processes.
