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 166 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 154 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 112 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 136% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2070) for ARC Raiders. The Xeon E-2488 is 80% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-9600K).
At lower resolutions (1080p (medium/high/ultra), 4k ultra), the Xeon E-2488 sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1440p low, 4k low), the GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p low, 1440p (medium/high/ultra), 4k (medium/high).
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p high, the Xeon E-2488 sets the ceiling at about 205 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 253 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 19% (FPS gap: 48 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 6/12 cells, GPU limits 2/12, balanced 4/12.
Your Xeon E-2488 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 6% | CPU Limits GPU 17% | CPU Limits GPU 19% | CPU Limits GPU 18% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 7% | Balanced | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 6% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 9% | Balanced | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 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, not generic utilization heuristics.

Yes, the Xeon E-2488 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run ARC Raiders smoothly up to 4k achieving around 112 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 136% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 80% above 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-2488 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 medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 4k ultra. GPU fully utilized at: 1440p low, 4k low.
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 Xeon E-2488 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.
