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 130 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 127 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 86 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 136% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2070) for ARC Raiders. The Xeon E-2236 is 21% below recommended, but 13% above minimum.
The Xeon E-2236 determines the performance ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the GPU has headroom.
At 1080p ultra, the Xeon E-2236 sets the ceiling at about 131 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 200 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 35% (FPS gap: 69 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Xeon E-2236 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 4090 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 17% | CPU Limits GPU 31% | CPU Limits GPU 32% | CPU Limits GPU 35% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 8% | CPU Limits GPU 17% | CPU Limits GPU 21% | CPU Limits GPU 25% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 14% | CPU Limits GPU 25% | CPU Limits GPU 28% | CPU Limits GPU 30% |
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.
The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, 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 21% below recommended and your GPU is 136% below recommended, but both meet minimum specs. Playable at Low/Medium settings, 1080p or below.

Yes, the Xeon E-2236 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run ARC Raiders smoothly up to 4k achieving around 86 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 136% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 21% below 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.
For ARC Raiders, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Xeon E-2236 is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 4090 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: 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 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.
