Best ARC Raiders settings for the AMD RX 6950 XT (2026)

On a AMD RX 6950 XT (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), ARC Raiders runs at roughly 81 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 82FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 6950 XT is a high-end graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and ARC Raiders is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs well at 1440p — about 81 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 131 FPS at 1080p and 81 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 62 FPS at 4K. ARC Raiders supports ray tracing and the AMD RX 6950 XT can technically run it, but it's the single most expensive option here — we keep it off to hit a smooth frame rate and suggest turning it on only if you have frames to spare. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for ARC Raiders, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSROff
Built on Unreal Engine 5 with DLSS, FSR and XeSS. The biggest FPS gain — turn it on first; on this engine upscaling is near-essential at 1440p and up.
Global IlluminationStatic0% FPS
Bounce lighting, with dynamic (ray-traced) tiers on capable GPUs. The single heaviest setting — Static is a large FPS gain on mid-range and laptop GPUs, at the cost of less realistic lighting.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 6–8GB cards keep it at High rather than Epic.
View DistanceHighbaseline
How far the map and enemies render. Important in an extraction shooter for spotting threats — but heavy, and it leans on the CPU in busy zones.
ShadowsHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is a big saving over Epic with little visible difference in a firefight.
ReflectionsHighbaseline
Reflection quality on water, glass and metal. High is a clean step below Epic.
EffectsHighbaseline
Explosions, sparks and the ARC machines’ effects. Drops most in combat — lower it to stay smooth when it counts.
FoliageHighbaseline
Density of grass and cover. Costly, and competitive players often lower it so foliage hides fewer enemies.
Post-ProcessingHighbaseline
Bloom, depth of field and lens effects. Low is a cheap, clean win with a clearer image.
Ambient OcclusionHighbaseline
Soft contact shadows in corners and under objects. Subtle — safe to lower.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps ground textures sharp into the distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
