Why Your PC Choice Matters in ARC Raiders

ARC Raiders rewards players who can react instantly, and that reaction only matters if your frames stay consistent. A build from this page gives you:

  • Stable frame rates during firefights and busy extraction zones, not just a high number in a benchmark

ARC Raiders Gaming PC FAQs

Is ARC Raiders CPU or GPU Heavy?

Both matter. At 1080p chasing very high FPS, ARC Raiders can become CPU-limited. At 1440p and up, the GPU and VRAM become the bigger factor.

The official Recommended tier (RTX 2070-class or better) is the baseline, but for consistent 144+ FPS in busy fights, you want more headroom — especially CPU and GPU working together, which is what Nebula V2 and Artemis V1 are built for.

Yes — especially if you run Discord, recording, streaming, browsers, or overlays alongside the game. That’s why Nebula V2 and Artemis V1 both include 32GB DDR5.

For 1080p, 8GB is fine (Scout V1). For 1440p and higher settings, more VRAM helps with smoothness — Nebula V2 and Artemis V1 both run 12-16GB GPUs.

If you’re on RTX hardware, yes — ARC Raiders supports DLSS 4 and NVIDIA Reflex, which can increase FPS and reduce input latency.

For most players, Nebula V2 is the best gaming pc for ARC Raiders because it hits the 1440p sweet spot with strong 1% lows and real multitasking headroom. Scout V1 is best for 1080p budget value, and Artemis V1 is best for players who want max settings and confident 4K.
