Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 208 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 189 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 155 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 5090 is 140% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2070) for ARC Raiders. The Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7965WX is 365% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-9600K).
The GeForce RTX 5090 sets the FPS ceiling at 1080p (medium/high), 1440p high, while the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7965WX still has additional frame-generation headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p (low/ultra), 1440p (low/medium/ultra), all 4k settings.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $5482. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 208 FPS, equivalent to 0.04 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 high, the GeForce RTX 5090 sets the ceiling at about 234 FPS, while the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7965WX has headroom up to 254 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 8% (FPS gap: 20 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 9/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 3/12.
The Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7965WX 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) | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 7% | GPU Limits CPU 8% | GPU Limits CPU 8% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 7% | GPU Limits CPU 8% | GPU Limits CPU 8% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 7% | GPU Limits CPU 8% | GPU Limits CPU 8% |
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.

Yes, the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7965WX paired with the GeForce RTX 5090 can run ARC Raiders smoothly up to 4k achieving around 155 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 140% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 365% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $5482 ($2782 CPU + $2700 GPU). Your GeForce RTX 5090 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 card with a significantly better value rating.
Your GeForce RTX 5090 is already a top-tier graphics card. While it's technically the limiting factor here (which means you are fully utilizing your GPU's visual horsepower exactly as intended), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your ARC Raiders performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1440p high.
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 Threadripper PRO 7965WX and GeForce RTX 5090 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.
