Low frame rate experience in ARK Survival Evolved under 30fps
Low frame rate experience in ARK Survival Evolved under 30fps
I've been using Ark with a GTX 970 Strix Edition and consistently only achieving around 30 frames per second. Recently, I saw my frame rate jump to about 60 FPS. When I checked my GPU settings, it was running at 620 MHz, but my clock speed was set to 1400 MHz—definitely not reaching it. Could the Ark update be affecting performance? Also, I'm playing at 1080p and trying to avoid the 3.5 VRAM limit; the maximum overclock allowed is 7010 MHz. It's possible the latest patch is causing instability. The FPS counter should show more clearly if that's the case.
Thanks for letting me know. I should have considered the fundamentals earlier.
Occasionally the OC program gets stuck and a restart resolves the issue. Occasionally, simply switching profiles might solve the problem.
Playing on a personal server or a community server with whitelisting ;D 2. The game isn't fully optimized. On my R9 290 with top textures and AA only on the middle, I usually get 45 to 80 frames per second most of the time. It runs nonstop, using about 100% of my 4GB VRAM, which is confusing since I don’t seem to hit your maximum specs with a GTX 970. I turn off many graphical settings because they cause major performance drops, and some options are adjusted through RadeonPro or SweetFX (Bloom, Curves, Light effects, etc.).
