Performance Report
At 1080p, frame rates range from 54 to 134 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 39 to 86 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 31 to 57 FPS.
The Radeon 8050S is 0% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2070) for ARC Raiders. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 126% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-9600K).
The Radeon 8050S sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $865.38. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 54 FPS, equivalent to 0.06 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages. Adjacent heavier settings are lightly stabilized to remove prediction jitter that would otherwise create impossible reversals.
At 4k ultra, the Radeon 8050S sets the ceiling at about 29 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has headroom up to 154 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 81% (FPS gap: 125 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon 8050S is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 63% | GPU Limits CPU 64% | GPU Limits CPU 67% | GPU Limits CPU 76% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 71% | GPU Limits CPU 72% | GPU Limits CPU 74% | GPU Limits CPU 80% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 75% | GPU Limits CPU 77% | GPU Limits CPU 77% | GPU Limits CPU 81% |
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 and then monotonic-smoothed across heavier presets and resolutions, not generic utilization heuristics.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D and Radeon 8050S will struggle to run ARC Raiders at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 54 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $865.38 ($465.38 CPU + $400 GPU). Since the GPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger GPU will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU for around $1810 (Rank #597 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For ARC Raiders, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon 8050S is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D 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 9800X3D and Radeon 8050S 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.
