Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 180 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 174 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 130 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 136% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2070) for ARC Raiders. The Core i9-14901E is 71% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-9600K).
At lower resolutions (1080p (medium/high/ultra)), the Core i9-14901E determines the performance ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1440p (low/medium/high), 4k (low/medium/high)), the GeForce RTX 4090 takes over as the primary performance factor. The system is well balanced at 1080p low, 1440p ultra, 4k ultra.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $2338. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 180 FPS, equivalent to 0.08 FPS per dollar.

At 4k low, the GeForce RTX 4090 sets the ceiling at about 157 FPS, while the Core i9-14901E has headroom up to 190 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 17% (FPS gap: 33 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 8/12 cells, CPU limits 3/12, balanced 1/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4090 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Core i9-14901E frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 8% | CPU Limits GPU 11% | CPU Limits GPU 11% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 15% | GPU Limits CPU 11% | GPU Limits CPU 10% | GPU Limits CPU 6% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 17% | GPU Limits CPU 13% | GPU Limits CPU 11% | GPU Limits CPU 6% |
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.
The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

Yes, the Core i9-14901E paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run ARC Raiders smoothly up to 4k achieving around 130 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 136% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 71% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $2338 ($689 CPU (Rank #362 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 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 Core i9-14901E and GeForce RTX 4090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
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.
