Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 149 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 139 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 99 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 136% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2070) for ARC Raiders. The Xeon W-2245 is 10% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-9600K).
The Xeon W-2245 sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, 1440p (low/high/ultra), 4k (low/high/ultra), while the GeForce RTX 4090 still has headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1440p medium, 4k medium.
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p ultra, the Xeon W-2245 sets the ceiling at about 151 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 193 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 22% (FPS gap: 42 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 10/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 2/12.
Your Xeon W-2245 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 14% | CPU Limits GPU 12% | CPU Limits GPU 17% | CPU Limits GPU 22% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 7% | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 11% | CPU Limits GPU 16% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 8% | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 14% | CPU Limits GPU 17% |
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 W-2245 + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 32% and 97% and GPU utilization between 63% and 99%. Xeon W-2245 reaches high load in heavier scenarios, while GeForce RTX 4090 carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 85% at 1080p to 89% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 84% to 41%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 4K (Ultra HD) Ultra, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 98% usage (96-99%), while the Xeon W-2245 stays at 42% (34-50%). This shows the graphics pipeline is carrying most of the workload, but utilization alone does not define the FPS limiter.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 84% and GPU 85%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 41% and GPU 88%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 41% and GPU 89%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1440p (2K QHD) Medium is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 41% (33-49%) and GPU 84% (73-96%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Xeon W-2245 remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Both components are stressed near their limits in the heaviest presets (Xeon W-2245: 86% avg, GeForce RTX 4090: 98% avg). A targeted upgrade should follow your target resolution: GPU first for higher image quality, CPU first for higher minimum 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 W-2245 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run ARC Raiders smoothly up to 4k achieving around 99 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 136% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 10% 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 W-2245 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 low, 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 Xeon W-2245 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.
