ARC Raiders on GeForce RTX: what to expect

ARC Raiders pairs DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation and DLSS Super Resolution to raise frame rates while keeping image quality high. NVIDIA Reflex reduces end-to-end PC latency so input feels more immediate, and RTX Global Illumination adds physically accurate lighting. The combination targets smoother combat and traversal across the game’s large outdoor spaces.

Note: An open “Server Slam” runs October 17–19. Updating to 581.57 before joining can reduce stutter and latency during high-load sessions.
