How is the game with 4070 / 1440p ?
Hey,

I just upgraded my GPU for Alan Wake 2 and Ark
Would like to know if ASA can be 60fps (stable) at least on HIGH settings, on 1440p with the 4070 ?
Or should I wait for the dev to optimize the game ?

Thanks

Should be fine, works fine on high for me with a 3080TI.

works great for me on the 2060

i have 4070 and id say wait ... i got so many visual glitches and yes you can reach 60 stable but on my system monitor my gpu is super hot and the game is so unoptimised its bad for your systems health ... sometimes temp jump up randomly and so many crashes
just my 2 cents

Hey,

Thanks for your answer.

Are you running the game with special commands to disable VolumetricClouds, Fog and stuff ? DLSS, Frame Gen ON ? I saw there was some ways to maximize fps while keeping high textures, by writing these lines into game's console. But feel kinda bored by this.

Might wait for more feedbacks and/or Gamepass version to come out then !

yes i tried every trick on this forum/internet to make the game run good
but nothing really helps
frame gen gets you more crashes but boots 10`fps
i think its more hassle then its worth
ontop of the technical problems the game bugs from 8 years ago are back to
dino spawns are all messed up
beavers make no dams in some games
dinos just vanish
items get deleted
some rescources dont regrow or dont even spawn

its just to much atm

I have i7-10700K, 32GB RAM and RTX 4070. I run the game on high+ settings, 1440p and disabled VolumetricCloud and Fog. Game runs smoothly 90-130 fps.

Bro, please Show me your settings. I have i7-10700K, 16GB RAM and RTX 4070. And on epic settings with clouds disabled, I get only 30-50fps in 1440p resolution

there appears to be some sort of issue with the 4000 series of cards, hopefully they will sort them out in the long run

the typical crashes that happen, from the horrible lighting bugs that can occur from the disco shadows as i call them to another that looks like you are carrying a personal light source that illuminates everything near by for one step, then back into darkness the next step., theres also the sparkle clouds......and another that i can only describe as up in your face motion blur, even with that option turned off.

running on a 4070 ti

Not bad with certain settings changed to low and medium with DLSS+FG enabled. With Volumetric clouds and fog disabled you can get from 70-100fps. I tried adding r.volumetriccloud 0 and r.volumetricfog 0 to the engine.ini file but it doesn't work. Anyone knows how to permanently disable cloud and fog?

I don't understand why people keep the same setting level for all settings. Some settings affect performance worse than others and some have greater visual effect on the game.

You don't just want high, you want a mix.

My system is I7 8600K with RTX 3080 and 16GB RAM and my game looks and runs great because I have looked through all the settings and optimised them accordingly. Some are maxed out while other I chose to lower. It's all about the cost to benefit ratio.

I have a RTX 4070 Ti and play at 1440p with everything on Epic and DLSS on Quality and Frame Generation enabled and get over 60FPS consistently. You should be close with a standard 4070. Maybe 55-60fps is what you'll have with those settings. You could lower a few things to High and get over 70FPS at 1440p also if you want.

The majority of people has no idea what many options actually do, and how they impact framerate, or do not want to spend the time trying them out for themselves

I have an Inno3D RTX 4070 Ti OC. Using the Inno3D app I lowered the clocks so my max temps hit 80 degrees Celsius (something like Afterburner app).
Since my monitor is a native 4k Ultrawide, I can only run it in Ultrawide resolutions, because all other resolutions look deformed and stretched out across the screen.
My settings are Medium with Volumetric Clouds turned off, and DLSS is set to Performance.
Depending on the time of day, I can reach 70fps during night time, but when the morning comes my GPU falls down to barely playable, around 30 fps.
I noticed if I turn on the torch. my FPS take a huge hit, and drop for about 10-15 fps. So using a torch is a big no no for me.
Overall, it performs okay, not phenomenal, but okay at best.
the rest of the specs are:
AMD Ryzen7 5700U
Asus ROG Strix B550i Gaming
16GB DDR4 @ 3200MHz

It is so funny, that the majority of gamers think that graphics card alone makes a game run well....
You can have a RTX4090 and your game will run ♥♥♥♥ if Mainboard, CPU, and RAM are crap. And also HDD or SSD....
And regarding RAM, generation and Mhz plays also a crazy big part. Don't let people tell you it doesnt....i had 5th gen 64GB 3200Mhz, i have 5th Gen 32GB 5600Mhz. The difference is massive! Only this upgrade gave me in all games 20 to 40 FPS more, depends on game.
So, if your graphics card is paired with outdated hardware, expect it to run crappy.
