This extraction shooter bets on visual fidelity with UE5 and DX12, requiring AVX2 support. It uses volumetric lighting and dense effects, with a recommended baseline of RTX 2070 / RX 5700 XT, indicating it is a demanding title.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 158 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 166 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 119 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 136% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2070) for ARC Raiders. The Core i5-11500T is 28% below recommended, but 4% above minimum.
At lower resolutions (all 1080p settings), the Core i5-11500T sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1440p (low/medium/high), 4k (low/medium/high)), the GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1440p ultra, 4k ultra.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1769. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 158 FPS, equivalent to 0.09 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p ultra, the Core i5-11500T sets the ceiling at about 161 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 199 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 19% (FPS gap: 38 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 4/12 cells, GPU limits 6/12, balanced 2/12.
Your Core i5-11500T 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 13% | CPU Limits GPU 15% | CPU Limits GPU 18% | CPU Limits GPU 19% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 12% | GPU Limits CPU 15% | GPU Limits CPU 8% | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 15% | GPU Limits CPU 17% | GPU Limits CPU 9% | Balanced |
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.

Yes, the Core i5-11500T paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run ARC Raiders smoothly up to 4k achieving around 119 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 136% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 28% below the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1769 ($120 CPU (Rank #165 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your GeForce RTX 4090 provides phenomenal top-tier performance but at a premium enthusiast price. Since you are essentially at the ceiling of current hardware capabilities, there are no meaningful performance upgrades available. However, if you wanted a more cost-effective build that still delivers a great experience, you could theoretically step down to a high-end card with a significantly better value rating.
Your GeForce RTX 4090 is already a top-tier graphics card. While it's technically the limiting factor here (which means you are fully utilizing your GPU's visual horsepower exactly as intended), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your ARC Raiders performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high. CPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p 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 setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth 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.
