This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k high, the Radeon RX 9060 sets the ceiling at about 30 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 150 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 80% (FPS gap: 120 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon RX 9060 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 60% | GPU Limits CPU 63% | GPU Limits CPU 67% | GPU Limits CPU 70% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 65% | GPU Limits CPU 69% | GPU Limits CPU 74% | GPU Limits CPU 76% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 73% | GPU Limits CPU 76% | GPU Limits CPU 80% | GPU Limits CPU 80% |
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 + Radeon RX 9060 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 20% and 48% and GPU utilization between 76% and 100%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D keeps significant headroom across presets, while Radeon RX 9060 carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 90% at 1080p to 94% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 38% to 26%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 4K (Ultra HD) Ultra, the Radeon RX 9060 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 38% and GPU 90%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 32% and GPU 93%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 26% and GPU 94%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1440p (2K QHD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 32% (24-39%) and GPU 86% (79-92%), which keeps Radeon RX 9060 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 7 7800X3D remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade priority should be the GPU. The Radeon RX 9060 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.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon RX 9060 will struggle to run ARC Raiders at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 44 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $633 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $249 GPU (Rank #4 Value)). Your build is already very cost-efficient, but if you want even more FPS, the next good option is upgrading the GPU. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 3070 for around $499 (Rank #16 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For ARC Raiders, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon RX 9060 is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k 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 Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon RX 9060 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.
