This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p ultra, the Ryzen 9 9900X3D sets the ceiling at about 166 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 193 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 14% (FPS gap: 27 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 4/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 8/12.
The Ryzen 9 9900X3D and GeForce RTX 4090 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 8% | CPU Limits GPU 12% | CPU Limits GPU 13% | CPU Limits GPU 14% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | 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.

Yes, the Ryzen 9 9900X3D paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run ARC Raiders smoothly up to 4k achieving around 115 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 136% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 218% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $2238 ($589 CPU (Rank #196 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your Ryzen 9 9900X3D provides phenomenal top-tier performance but at a premium enthusiast price. Since you are essentially at the ceiling of current hardware capabilities, there are no meaningful performance upgrades available. However, if you wanted a more cost-effective build that still delivers a great experience, you could theoretically step down to a high-end processor with a significantly better value rating. For example, the Ryzen Threadripper 9960X is a great upgrade option for around $1499 (Rank #297 for value).
Your Ryzen 9 9900X3D is already an incredibly powerful processor. While it's technically the first component to hit its limit (which is completely normal in state-of-the-art builds), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your ARC Raiders performance right now. CPU fully utilized at: 1080p high, 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p ultra.
Yes! ARC Raiders supports DLSS Frame Gen and FSR 3 Frame Gen and AFMF, and your GeForce RTX 4090 is compatible with DLSS Frame Gen and FSR 3 Frame Gen. With Frame Generation enabled, you can expect a 2x-3x FPS multiplier on top of native framerates, significantly boosting perceived smoothness.
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 9 9900X3D and GeForce RTX 4090 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.
