Survival in Ark Evolved requires strategic planning and resource management.
You're considering Ark Survival Evolved and wondering if your PC can run it smoothly at 60fps. It sounds like you're evaluating performance and might need some upgrades. Checking the part list from the link could help identify what components require improvement. Adjusting settings may be necessary, but upgrading certain hardware could boost performance.
It's still under active improvement, but right now it performs quite poorly. I play at 1440p with a reduced resolution, mostly high settings, low shadow detail, and minimized sky effects. At that configuration, I'm getting around 30-40 FPS, which is the best I've managed. Your specs are listed in my profile—my 5820K is even boosted to 4500 MHz.
Currently, the situation isn't great. I'm stuck with the same graphics card and a 4770 model. I can only handle up to 30 minutes before it gets too much. The resolution is low/medium, giving me 30-50 frames per second. Plus, the visuals are pretty poor. Just keep in mind I don't demand high performance or great graphics.
