Arc Raiders, a multiplayer PvPvE extraction shooter, is quite heavy on the CPU side of things. That’s why even modern Radeon RX 9000 series GPUs struggle to deliver high 120 frame rates, especially if the system has mid-range or low-end CPUs. The graphics cards are definitely capable, but weaker CPUs can hold them back. However, the right settings take some of the pressure off the CPU and allow the GPU to deliver more performance. You will find the optimized settings in the article below.

Final Thoughts

The above settings will get the game running at 120 FPS, but you can take it a step further and disable the E-cores if you have an Intel CPU. This should further reduce any stutters that you may experience. Also, the above settings will not compromise the visuals too much. The game will look good despite using these settings.
