I just upgraded my GPU from an RTX 4070 to an RTX 5080, but I'm only maxing out at around 80 FPS in Arc Raiders. Here are my specs for reference:
- **Driver**: Game Ready Driver - 591.74 (Jan 5, 2026)
- **CPU**: 12th Gen Intel Core i9-12900K
- **RAM**: 64 GB
- **Storage**: 1.8 TB SSD (x2)
- **GPU**: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 with 10752 CUDA cores, 2730 MHz graphics clock, and 30 Gbps memory data rate.
- **Display**: Acer ED270U P2 at 2560 x 1440 (170 Hz) and Asustek VG279 at 1920 x 1080 (144 Hz).
Could someone help me check for any bottlenecks in my setup?

I have an RTX 5080 paired with a 9950x3d and I usually get between 90 and 100 FPS. Sometimes I even hit 110. If you’re using DLSS, I can reach over 400 FPS. It sounds like you might be a bit CPU-bound—try adjusting your settings and double-check your drivers.
Just throwing it out there, are you sure the display cable is plugged into your GPU and not the motherboard? That happens sometimes!
What settings are you playing on? Those can really affect your FPS.
Are you gaming at 4K? I run at 1440p with a 9800x3d and get over 200 FPS on mixed settings with DLSS quality!
