With over 481,000 players at its peak, ARC Raiders has been sitting quite comfortably in the top five on the Steam charts for a while now. So it was no surprise when it won Best Multiplayer at The Game Awards 2025.
So how can you get your system ready to jump into the action? NVIDIA’s latest DLSS 4-enabled graphics cards make a real difference in how smooth and responsive the game feels, especially during fast-paced co-op battles. And you’re in luck! At CCL we stock a fantastic range of Palit GPUs that deliver strong, dependable performance, making it easier to enjoy the game the way it was meant to be played.
What makes ARC Raiders so good but so demanding?
ARC Raiders has come in and ignited a genre that’s been long known to be exclusive to the select few who were willing to slog their way through the slow and rigorous grind. Without spoiling too much, the game is a co-op, third-person shooter where you and your team fight back against deadly machines on the surface of a devastatingly beautiful post-apocalyptic world. It captures the nail-biting tension that extraction shooters were always meant to have as you sift through the remnants of this world for loot and piece together the past.

Built around large environments, detailed effects, and intense action sequences, the game has a striking retro sci-fi look. This visual style relies heavily on high-resolution textures, volumetric lighting, and dynamic animations to immerse the player in this lethal but stunning world. The rapid movement and large spaces, paired with co-op encounters with particle-heavy combat, however, mean you’re going to need a beefy GPU if you want to play the game the way it was intended to be played. At 1440p or higher, the demands rapidly rise. This is where DLSS 4 support can make all the difference.
DLSS 4 and ARC Raiders
DLSS 4 is the latest development in AI-powered upscaling and frame generation technology from NVIDIA. It supports your graphics card to allow it to render games more efficiently, boosting FPS, reducing latency, and overall giving you phenomenal visual quality. For ARC Raiders this feature couldn’t be more useful. Higher FPS without dropping quality means smoother movement and combat, a better experience at higher resolutions such as 1440p or ultrawide formats, and a reduced strain on your hardware, helping the system run cooler and quieter. The technology provides a more stable and comfortable experience.

The Palit GeForce RTX 5070 Infinity 3 12GB GDDR7 delivers superior 1440p gaming with modern features like DLSS 4 and real-time ray tracing, providing pristine and realistic visuals. The butch younger brother of the 5060 Ti, the 5070 has better raw gaming performance and is an ideal choice for gamers looking to upgrade from an older card.
Why it works:
- Strong 1440p Performance: This card handles modern games smoothly at 1440p with high settings and can even push itself to 4K visuals.
- Reliable and Efficient: 12 GB of fast GDDR7 memory and effective cooling mean you're sure to see stable performance even during longer gaming sessions.
- Flexible Display Support: Multiple outputs and support for high refresh rates make it easy to connect to different monitors and enjoy immersive gameplay.
Why it is ideal for ARC Raiders:
Fully capable of showing some of the best visuals without breaking a sweat, this graphics card shows ARC Raiders in the crystal-clear clarity that it was meant to be seen at. The 5070 provides consistent performance during large encounters, especially with DLSS 4 for added stability, making it an excellent choice.
Sitting a step above the 5070, the Palit GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GamingPro-S 16GB GDDR7 merges sleek, industrial design with robust performance. It offers raw performance and a generous 16 GB of GDDR7 memory, helping to optimise frame rates even in the most demanding gameplay moments.
Why it works:
- Ample VRAM: The larger memory buffer helps with high-resolution textures, large open worlds, and future games that demand more memory, reducing performance bottlenecks.
- Triple-fan cooling: To keep performance stable under the heaviest load with reduced noise during lighter tasks.
- Stronger at higher settings: The Ti’s boost in hardware specs makes it more comfortable for 1440p gaming, and better yet, it can run games in 4K like a dream with heavier ray-traced effects compared with the non-Ti card.
Why it is ideal for ARC Raiders:
If you want better performance and clear results in tougher gaming scenarios, the 5070 Ti offers that little bit extra over the 5070. It bumps up the hyper-realistic visuals and leaves plenty of headroom for future games, making it a worthy investment.
