Best ARC Raiders settings for every GPU

ARC Raiders runs on Unreal Engine 5. Pick your GPU below for a starter playbook calibrated to that card's tier — or run the full BetterFPS generator for a playbook that also factors your CPU, RAM, monitor, and competitive preferences.

Why generic ARC Raiders guides don't work

An RTX 5090 at 4K and a GTX 1660 at 1080p are running fundamentally different bottlenecks. ARC Raiders has different bottlenecks for different rigs. A “low settings” guide that recommends the same shadow setting for both is gambling on your hardware tier matching the author's. BetterFPS picks every setting based on your actual rig.

Per-GPU tier

Recommended resolution, upscaling preset, and shadow detail differ across S/A/B/C/D/E tier GPUs.

Per-resolution

1080p / 1440p / 4K change which settings actually move FPS. View distance matters more at high res.

Per-vendor

NVIDIA = DLSS / Reflex / HAGS. AMD = FSR / Anti-Lag. Intel = XeSS. The right path differs by brand.
