This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p ultra, the Xeon E5-4627 v2 sets the ceiling at about 130 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 193 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 33% (FPS gap: 63 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 10/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 2/12.
Your Xeon E5-4627 v2 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 26% | CPU Limits GPU 24% | CPU Limits GPU 32% | CPU Limits GPU 33% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 9% | CPU Limits GPU 6% | CPU Limits GPU 22% | CPU Limits GPU 30% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | Balanced | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 19% | CPU Limits GPU 29% |
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.

The Xeon E5-4627 v2 + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 34% and 100% and GPU utilization between 42% and 67%. Xeon E5-4627 v2 reaches high load in heavier scenarios, while GeForce RTX 4090 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 55% at 1080p to 60% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 93% to 43%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a CPU-heavy load profile. At 1080p (Full HD) Low, the Xeon E5-4627 v2 reaches 93% average load (86-100%), while the GeForce RTX 4090 remains comparatively lower at 52% (42-61%). This points to heavier CPU-side frame preparation work, but utilization alone does not define the FPS limiter.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 93% and GPU 55%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 45% and GPU 58%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 43% and GPU 60%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
4K (Ultra HD) Ultra is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 44% (37-52%) and GPU 62% (56-67%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Xeon E5-4627 v2 remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade priority should be the CPU. The Xeon E5-4627 v2 reaches 93% average load at 1080p (Full HD) Low while the GeForce RTX 4090 remains comparatively underutilized, so a faster processor would improve frame-time consistency and top-end FPS.
Understanding Hardware Utilization: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. They describe hardware load, but they do not directly tell you which component sets the FPS ceiling.
Important: a CPU or GPU can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. Two processors can both show 40% usage and still deliver very different frame rates, depending on per-core speed, cache, engine threading, driver overhead, and frame preparation efficiency.

Yes, the Xeon E5-4627 v2 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run ARC Raiders smoothly up to 4k achieving around 85 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 136% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 47% below the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1719 ($70 CPU + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Since the CPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger processor will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, the Xeon Platinum 8454H is a great upgrade option for around $6540 (Rank #1 for value).
For ARC Raiders, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Xeon E5-4627 v2 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 high, 1440p ultra, 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 hardware falls below the minimum requirements for this game, which may result in poor 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.
