The GeForce RTX 4090 is 136% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2070) for ARC Raiders. The Core Ultra 5 235T is 81% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-9600K).
ARC Raiders supports: DLSS Frame Gen, FSR 3 Frame Gen, AFMF. The GeForce RTX 4090 can use DLSS Frame Gen and FSR 3 Frame Gen, providing up to 2x-3x frame rate boost.
At lower resolutions (1080p (high/ultra)), the Core Ultra 5 235T sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1440p (low/medium/ultra), 4k (low/medium)), the GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p (low/medium), 1440p high, 4k (high/ultra).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1896. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 188 FPS, equivalent to 0.1 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1440p medium, the GeForce RTX 4090 sets the ceiling at about 208 FPS, while the Core Ultra 5 235T has headroom up to 233 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 11% (FPS gap: 25 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 5/12 cells, CPU limits 2/12, balanced 5/12.
The Core Ultra 5 235T and GeForce RTX 4090 stay close in effective frame-generation ceiling across most presets, so neither side consistently suppresses the other by a large margin.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | Balanced | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 8% | CPU Limits GPU 7% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 7% | GPU Limits CPU 11% | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 7% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 9% | GPU Limits CPU 11% | Balanced | 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 Ultra 5 235T paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run ARC Raiders smoothly up to 4k achieving around 125 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 136% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 81% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1896 ($247 CPU (Rank #96 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 ultra, 4k low, 4k medium. CPU-limited at: 1080p high, 1080p ultra.
Yes! ARC Raiders supports DLSS Frame Gen and FSR 3 Frame Gen and AFMF, and your GeForce RTX 4090 is compatible with DLSS Frame Gen and FSR 3 Frame Gen. With Frame Generation enabled, you can expect a 2x-3x FPS multiplier on top of native framerates, significantly boosting perceived smoothness.
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 Ultra 5 235T 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.
