The GeForce RTX 5090 is 140% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2070) for ARC Raiders. The Ryzen Threadripper 1900X is 5% below recommended, but 37% above minimum.
The Ryzen Threadripper 1900X sets the FPS ceiling at all 4k settings, while the GeForce RTX 5090 still has headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $2816. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 204 FPS, equivalent to 0.07 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 1080p low, the GeForce RTX 5090 sets the ceiling at about 344 FPS, while the Ryzen Threadripper 1900X has headroom up to 365 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 6% (FPS gap: 21 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12. Confidence is low because both ceilings are very close in this cell.
The Ryzen Threadripper 1900X and GeForce RTX 5090 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) | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 6% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 6% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 6% |
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.
See how your processor and graphics card compare against the game official minimum and recommended system specs. The placement of your hardware is calculated using relative synthetic performance scores to help you gauge overall playability.
Your CPU is 5% below recommended and your GPU is 140% below recommended, but both meet minimum specs. Playable at Low/Medium settings, 1080p or below.

Yes, the Ryzen Threadripper 1900X paired with the GeForce RTX 5090 can run ARC Raiders smoothly up to 4k achieving around 117 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 140% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 5% below the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $2816 ($116 CPU + $2700 GPU). Since the CPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger processor will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, the Ryzen 9 9950X is a great upgrade option for around $649 (Rank #4 for value).
For ARC Raiders, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Ryzen Threadripper 1900X is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 5090 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: 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 setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth performance.
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.
