About running ARC Raiders
Released in 2025, ARC Raiders pushes hardware hard, especially the graphics card. It sits in the Shooter category. Officially it wants at least NVIDIA GTX 1070 alongside Intel Core i5-8400, and recommends NVIDIA RTX 3070 with Intel Core i7-11700. It asks for 16 GB of memory either way, plus about 50 GB of free disk space. At this level the gap between minimum and recommended is the gap between playable and comfortable, not between bad and good.
How to improve ARC Raiders performance
- Close what you're not using. Browsers, chat apps and launchers sit on RAM and CPU while ARC Raiders runs. On a machine near the minimum this is usually the single biggest win available.
- Check your actual refresh rate and resolution. Running below your monitor's native resolution costs less than most people expect; running above your refresh rate buys nothing at all.
- Update the graphics driver. New releases routinely ship driver-side fixes. For a 2025 title on an older card this can be the difference between stutter and smooth.
- Put the game on an SSD. ARC Raiders wants about 50 GB. On a mechanical drive the frame rate may be fine while texture pop-in and load times are not.
- Free the memory before you launch. Windows accumulates background services that never give memory back. FixKon clears them out in one pass, which matters most when you're on 16–16 GB.
ARC Raiders requirements FAQ
- What are the minimum requirements for ARC Raiders?
- ARC Raiders lists Intel Core i5-8400 or equivalent, NVIDIA GTX 1070, 16 GB of RAM and about 50 GB of storage on Windows 10 64-bit.
- Can I run ARC Raiders on a NVIDIA GTX 1070?
- NVIDIA GTX 1070 is the published minimum graphics card, so it should start and run — at low settings, at 1080p, and with frame dips in heavy scenes. The recommended card is NVIDIA RTX 3070.
- How much RAM does ARC Raiders need?
- 16 GB covers both the minimum and the recommended spec. Having more will not add frames, but it does leave room for everything else Windows is running.
- Will ARC Raiders run better if I close background apps?
- Usually yes, and most on a PC near the minimum spec. Background processes compete for the same CPU time and memory the game needs. This is what FixKon automates.
