ARC Raiders
This extraction shooter bets on visual fidelity with UE5 and DX12, requiring AVX2 support. It uses volumetric lighting and dense effects, with a recommended baseline of RTX 2070 / RX 5700 XT, indicating it is a demanding title.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 204 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 186 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 153 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 5090 D is 154% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2070) for ARC Raiders. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 126% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-9600K).
No major FPS-ceiling mismatch detected. The GeForce RTX 5090 D and Ryzen 7 9800X3D stay close in effective frame-generation ceiling across the tested resolutions and quality settings.
This chart answers a simple question: which upgrade is more likely to increase FPS first? In this case, there is no clear winner.
The largest gap still appears at 1080p Medium, where the Ryzen 7 9800X3D reaches about 259 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 5090 D still has headroom up to roughly 267 FPS.
That means neither part is consistently hitting its ceiling far ahead of the other. Across all tested settings, this pairing is GPU-limited in 0 out of 12 cases, CPU-limited in 0, and balanced in 12.
Overall, this is a balanced combination in this game.
Neither the Ryzen 7 9800X3D nor the GeForce RTX 5090 D stands out as the consistent limiter in this game, so the better upgrade depends more on your target settings than on one obvious bottleneck.
This chart shows which upgrade is more likely to unlock more FPS in each tested setting. The lower line represents the part that reaches its limit first. When the CPU and GPU lines stay close together, the system is more balanced. When the gap widens, one component is more clearly holding the other back. Hover any setting to inspect it.
The lower line is the current limiter. The closer the two lines are, the more balanced the CPU and GPU are for this game.
Each line represents an estimated FPS ceiling for one component, rather than live usage alone.
To estimate the CPU ceiling, we pair the Ryzen 7 9800X3D with GeForce RTX 5090, our current GPU anchor. To estimate the GPU ceiling, we pair the GeForce RTX 5090 D with Ryzen 9 9950X3D, our current CPU anchor.
The lower line indicates the current limiter, since that component reaches its FPS ceiling first. In most scenarios, that is also the part most likely to deliver the bigger performance uplift if upgraded first.
The percentage shown represents the gap between the two ceilings. In practical terms, it shows how much of the stronger component's potential is left unused because the weaker one becomes the bottleneck first.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with the GeForce RTX 5090 D can run ARC Raiders smoothly up to 4k achieving around 153 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 154% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 126% 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.
This setup is already well-balanced for ARC Raiders. In the Performance Limiter Analysis, neither side consistently defines the maximum FPS across the tested presets. Across all tested settings, the distribution is 0/12 GPU-limited, 0/12 CPU-limited, and 12/12 balanced. In practice, this pairing behaves as a well-balanced combination in this game. Because of that, upgrading only one component would usually bring smaller gains than improving the overall pairing.
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 9800X3D and GeForce RTX 5090 D 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.
