What methods exist to boost FPS in Arc Raiders on a budget computer?
In this game, considering these specifications and how they're being used...
the CPU operating at full capacity mostly restricts any improvement in frame rate.
However, typically within a PC game, the CPU creates each frame by itself. It then sends those frames to the GPU to execute the graphics settings it can handle.
In extreme scenarios involving modern games that use many cores, and considering the CPU was mid-range when released over a decade ago with only 4c/4t, the situation varies. However, most systems are constrained by GPU capabilities. Adding a 9800X3D to a system with an 1070 will likely restrict performance all the way up to a 5090, particularly at higher resolutions and settings where VRAM is limited. To notice this effect more clearly, disable DLSS/FSR in modern titles. There’s a reason you need to lower resolution to 720p and use low settings with the best GPU to observe a difference in CPU performance. You’re not CPU limited until GPUs start producing similar results.
