Enjoying ARK with ease and comfort.
Enjoying ARK with ease and comfort.
Curious about the setup you're using to run ARK SE at around 100fps with maximum settings? Your system has a 144Hz monitor and an i5-2500 plus a 660 MHz CPU, which you mainly use for CS and other games. It’s tough for ARK SE on that configuration. I know GPUs were once the main factor in FPS, but modern i7 processors with higher clocks are still relevant today for many titles.
Ark feels like a mess of junk. It’s definitely one of the least smooth games I’ve tried. I’m completely confused about how they made it work on consoles. The last time I played—about three months ago with my 6800K and 980ti at the highest settings in 1440p—I was seeing between 40 to 70 frames per second.
your 5820k with 32gb ram and a 1070 slack into issues with frame timing and fps drops on your powerful rig. it seems even top-tier setups can struggle with certain games. for a high-end gaming experience, consider upgrading to a 2600k and 480, or wait for Ryzen. pairing a 7700k with 16gb ram and a 1070 offers a solid gaming performance across titles.
I tried using a copy of Ark I borrowed from a friend, and honestly... you’d likely have to discard the whole setup and rebuild it to even come close to enjoying Ark. The developers clearly left a lot to be desired—just handing over the executable named "shootergame.exe" without updating the default copyright notice.
This game faces issues beyond its design style; a full overhaul by another development team might be necessary to resolve them...
