Graphics Settings Help - 4060

[Quaker Oat Man]

Hey all,
I just put a 4060 into my rig(from 3060) I wanted to ask anyone with NVIDIA what they are doing to be able to run this game.
I can get framerate no ♥♥♥♥♥♥ issue there but i am crashing *CONSTANTLY* and its just like, why did I pay for this game again lmao?????

I'm looking for GPU specs and ARK specs because this is crazy. I feel like I'm back in 2015 with this game.

Type this console command:
ark.VertexCountScaling 1

On the Settings MENU:
Global Illumination Quality: Medium
Disable HLOD = ON (right down)
UI => Disable Menu Transitions (left down)

No launch parameters

Laisse le temps au jeu d'être optimisé, sinon en 4k avec le RTX 4060 TI. C'est parfait avec la configuration de base en moyen, 2k, mais je l'ai poussé à 4k en haut sans trop de problème. En Ultra 4k, maximum, tu auras environ 20FPS, donc visé à distance. Ça sera impossible.

I9 13900KS
4080 16G DDR6 OC "oddly being OC isnt causing me crashes"
Z790 "forget model"
64G DDR5 "and soon to double that"
All epic except veiw at high.
RTX.. On, On, Performance, Off
3840x2160
And I am geting 60FPS by Rivatuner
Also I turn off Grass, Fog, Clouds.
And its rare I crash. But now and then might get couple. And I am not getting dinos falling through world and other glitches luckily.

I'm using a 3060 and don't have many problems running the game since last nights patch in single player.
What I was able to do before to prevent crashes when I was crashing a lot was to disable some settings like:
foliage interaction
menu transition

Why buy a 4060 when all of the reviews say it's no faster than a 3060? Return it and go for a 4070 or 4070 ti.

Im liking my 4080 OC. Does pretty good.

Also about 4060 vs 3060Ti he has a point.

But I would go with the 4070 or 4080 as have better ram. need 12+ by what people saying.

The 4070 is way overpriced right now :(

My specs: Msi B650 carbon-wifi (OC)
Amd ryzen 7700
kingston Fury Knight Beast 64gb DDR5 6000/Mhz 4 channel
Msi gaming x trio 4070 (OC)
Mid settings DLLS balanced
60 fps if I'm lucky, and I still periodically crash while building or opening up any sort of UI.

Maybe the 4080 then? Have not looked in a bit at current prices. Once got this rig setup I didnt want to look anymore for next 5 years lols. Only thing I might do is get another 4080 OC down road and double ram.

EDIT - Oh and put coolers on the 4080 as well. Getting warmer then I like.

i was crashing a lot too with a 4080 and turning off the foliage setting that makes the foliage move & changing the foliage to low, seems to have helped

Dang that really makes me sad to see even this card can only hold 60 fps on this game. sheeeesh. I am upgrading to that card come taxes from a amd 6950 xt

Thanks all for the potential fixes, I'll be giving some of them a try <3

It was a free swap and it runs smoother for streaming than my 3060 did :) (for other things not ark lmao)

I intend to get a stronger card eventually but the moment you aim higher than 4060 the price skyrockets anyways.

I'm running a 4060 with a 13th gen i5. I use Epic Textures and Draw Distance. High Global Illumination and General Shadows, with pretty much everything else Low or Off. Why? Lighting and shadows do far more for graphical fidelity these days than anything else. I can get 60fps in low intensity areas, but instead I set a framelimit of 30fps to avoid some dips. Also, using r.VolumetricClouds 0 and r.VolumetricFog 0 will each buy you about 5-10fps.

Use nvidia driver version 537.58, this stopped the crashing on our 2 PCs with 4070. You can find it via Google. Settings RTX: DLSS on, FG on, Quality: Performance and you should be fine.
Settings Video: medium preset should be ok.
