Best ARC Raiders settings for the NVIDIA RTX 5070 (2026)
On a NVIDIA RTX 5070 (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 7 9700X-class CPU), ARC Raiders runs at roughly 82 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 83FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA RTX 5070 is a high-end graphics card with 12GB of VRAM, and ARC Raiders is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X, it runs well at 1440p — about 82 FPSwith 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 133 FPS at 1080p and 82 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 63 FPS at 4K. ARC Raiders supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 5070 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. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 ARC Raiders: Unreal Engine 5 (Lumen) PvPvE shooter - turn down Lumen first; busy zones are CPU-bound.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSOff
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.
Lumen Lighting (software RT)Offsaves FPS
UE5’s Lumen global illumination. The single heaviest setting — lowering or disabling it is a large FPS gain on mid-range and laptop GPUs, at the cost of less realistic bounce 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.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is a big saving over Epic with little visible difference in a firefight.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Explosions, sparks and the ARC machines’ effects. Drops most in combat — lower it to stay smooth when it counts.
Foliage / VegetationHighbaseline
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.
