Arc Raiders has a free public "server slam" test that you can access on Steam, so I decided to give it a quick try. I was very impressed with the performance of this game, especially because I was running at high settings at 1440p and the game looks beautiful. I'm running on an EVGA GTX 1080 Ti, a GPU with 11GB of VRAM from 2017. This game uses Unreal Engine 5 but does not seem to utilize Lumen GI or Nanite visualized geometry. Instead, it seems to make use of other modern raster techniques like screen space shadows, high quality cube maps, and impressive draw distances.
Sorry if this video is not what you're looking for from my channel, I will continue to work on my more technical deep dive videos shortly. Sometimes I just want to upload some performance tests though, you know? Feel free to comment to tell me to never upload these kinds of videos again though if you want and I will listen.
