Performance Limiter Analysis

EPYC 72F3|GeForce RTX 4090

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.

📈Analysis

At 1080p medium, the EPYC 72F3 sets the ceiling at about 222 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 273 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 19% (FPS gap: 51 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 9/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 3/12.

Verdict

CPU Limits GPU

Your EPYC 72F3 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 4090 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.

Percentages show how much potential FPS of the stronger component is lost because the other component has a lower FPS ceiling.
🧠Methodology

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.

Performance Summary

The EPYC 72F3 + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 21% and 51% and GPU utilization between 44% and 70%. EPYC 72F3 keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce RTX 4090 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 58% at 1080p to 62% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 42% to 28%.

Load Interpretation

The utilization pattern is relatively even. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 65% average at its highest-load preset, while the EPYC 72F3 peaks at 42% average. This suggests a fairly controlled load distribution, but the actual FPS-limiting side should still be read from the limiter analysis above.

Resolution Scaling

At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 42% and GPU 58%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 41% and GPU 60%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 28% and GPU 62%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.

Optimal Settings Recommendation

4K (Ultra HD) Ultra is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 29% (22-36%) and GPU 65% (60-70%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while EPYC 72F3 remains stable for consistent frame delivery.

Upgrade Insight

Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the EPYC 72F3 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.

  • High GPU Load: You typically want to see High GPU Utilization (90%+) and moderate CPU usage when visual settings are heavy. This indicates the graphics pipeline is under strong load, but the exact FPS limiter should still be confirmed by the FPS ceiling analysis.
  • High CPU Load: If you see High CPU Utilization (85%+) paired with lower GPU utilization, the processor is handling a disproportionate share of frame preparation and game logic. That can point to CPU-side pressure, but it should not be treated as a direct replacement for FPS ceiling analysis.
  • Low CPU and GPU Load: If both CPU and GPU utilization are relatively low, it means the hardware is waiting on something else. This could be a game engine limitation, poorly optimized code, or an artificial framerate cap like VSync holding performance back. It does not mean both parts are equally fast in FPS terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

1Can the EPYC 72F3 and GeForce RTX 4090 run ARC Raiders well?

Yes, the EPYC 72F3 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run ARC Raiders smoothly up to 4k achieving around 98 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 136% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 54% above the recommended requirements.

2Is there a more cost-effective setup to run ARC Raiders?

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.

3Which component should I upgrade first to improve ARC Raiders performance?

For ARC Raiders, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The EPYC 72F3 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 medium, 1440p ultra, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.

4Does this setup support Frame Generation for ARC Raiders?

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.

5What are the minimum and recommended specs for ARC Raiders?

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 EPYC 72F3 and GeForce RTX 4090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.

6How accurate are these ARC Raiders FPS estimates for the EPYC 72F3 and GeForce RTX 4090?

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.
