Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 159 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 175 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 120 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 136% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2070) for ARC Raiders. The Core i7-1355U is 20% below recommended, but 15% above minimum.
At lower resolutions (all 1080p settings), the Core i7-1355U 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.
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p ultra, the Core i7-1355U sets the ceiling at about 162 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 199 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 19% (FPS gap: 37 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 4/12 cells, GPU limits 6/12, balanced 2/12.
Your Core i7-1355U 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 11% | CPU Limits GPU 12% | CPU Limits GPU 16% | CPU Limits GPU 19% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 13% | GPU Limits CPU 17% | GPU Limits CPU 10% | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 15% | GPU Limits CPU 16% | GPU Limits CPU 7% | 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.

The Core i7-1355U + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 32% and 76% and GPU utilization between 60% and 96%. Core i7-1355U stays in a controlled operating range, while GeForce RTX 4090 carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 79% at 1080p to 85% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 68% to 41%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 4K (Ultra HD) Ultra, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 91% usage (86-96%), while the Core i7-1355U stays at 42% (35-50%). This shows the graphics pipeline is carrying most of the workload, but utilization alone does not define the FPS limiter.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 68% and GPU 79%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 44% and GPU 82%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 41% and GPU 85%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1440p (2K QHD) High is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 42% (34-51%) and GPU 86% (79-92%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Core i7-1355U remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Core i7-1355U 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 i7-1355U paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run ARC Raiders smoothly up to 4k achieving around 120 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 136% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 20% below the recommended requirements.
Price data is not currently available for this combination. In general, look for setups where the CPU and GPU are balanced — this ensures you're not overspending on one component that the other can't keep up with.
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.
