Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 170 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 177 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 129 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU is 80% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2070) for ARC Raiders. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 94% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-9600K).
At lower resolutions (all 1080p settings), the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1440p medium, 4k (low/medium)), the GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1440p (low/high/ultra), 4k (high/ultra).
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p high, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the ceiling at about 209 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU could reach 242 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 14% (FPS gap: 33 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 4/12 cells, GPU limits 5/12, balanced 3/12.
The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU 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) | CPU Limits GPU 12% | CPU Limits GPU 11% | CPU Limits GPU 14% | CPU Limits GPU 13% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 8% | GPU Limits CPU 6% | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 7% | GPU Limits CPU 10% | GPU Limits CPU 6% | 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 Ryzen 7 7800X3D + GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 21% and 54% and GPU utilization between 63% and 100%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 86% at 1080p to 90% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 43% to 26%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 4K (Ultra HD) Ultra, the GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU averages 99% usage (98-100%), while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays at 26% (22-31%). 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 43% and GPU 86%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 33% and GPU 90%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 26% and GPU 90%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1440p (2K QHD) Medium is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 33% (27-39%) and GPU 86% (73-98%), which keeps GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 7 7800X3D remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade priority should be the GPU. The GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU reaches 99% average load at 4K (Ultra HD) Ultra while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has headroom, so a faster graphics card would deliver the largest uplift.
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 Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU can run ARC Raiders smoothly up to 4k achieving around 129 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 80% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 94% above 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.
For ARC Raiders, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU 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. GPU fully utilized at: 1440p medium, 4k low, 4k medium.
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 Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU 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.
