RTX 3060 Ti

[Marcel]

I have i5-12400F and RTX 3060 Ti, is it worth buying?

[Frosty]

AMD R7 5800x3d. rtx 3060... about 45 to 65 fps everything high, foliage and water set to 4 playing on 1080, last 2 days no crashes, so it is definitely worth it.

[Viral]

2080Ti 12G. i9-9900k and 64G of corsair overpriced hype here.
(I would upgrade from my 2080Ti but it still ♥♥♥♥♥ on most 30 and 40 cards)

I did try everything on epic and while not great, wasn't terrible. So did the usual tweaks to settings and game is running just fine with almost everything still on epic.

I`m currently having the usual fun with vanishing servers and various other Day 1 bugs, yes, original ARK day 1 problems.. Gonna have to just accept that`s always gonna be a thing with any ARK game i guess.

If bugs stress you out though, just skip it for a few months, aint no white knight on here that can keep a straight face and tell you, you will have no issues at all. B`cos you will. Everyone will at some point.

So to answer OPs actual question, yes, you should get it and be able to run it and still get decent enough quality, assuming the rest of your PC isnt made out of root vegetable and you have a basic working knowledge of how to tweak settings to your get the best enjoyment for your rig. Just don't expect most of your settings to be on or over high especially if you attempt anything over 1920x1080.

I have an i7-12700 rtx 3070 (8gb, which is where a lot of my graphics issues come from) and 32 gb ram 1440p, I have to play on medium settings and run Nvidia in ultra performance mode while having my PC overclocked. In my base I get a very smooth 80+ fps. The second I step foot outside of my base, my fps tanks. Sometimes I'm getting 20 fps, other times it's up to 50. Game did not crash at all yesterday, but the previous day it crashed every time I attempted to adjust my graphics settings. I have never been in a situation in game where the low fps was directly impacting my ability to play, so that's a plus. Official servers are terribly laggy, not sure if it's just my game but the ability to filter servers by day or ping or players does not work. Also the listed ping for the servers is not accurate. I'm in NA but the game is telling me that Asia and UK servers have 20 ping, while the NA servers range from 130 to 250 ping. I played on official for somewhere around 3-4 hours and refuse to go back. Tether distance is broken, if you are someone that want's to play privately with friends. Tether range is defaulted to about 180m and cannot be adjusted.

Despite all of these issues I still play the game. The mod system is fantastic, and the game looks great even on medium settings. The quality of life changes are really nice, and the map changes help make the Island seem a little less boring. Excited for the other maps to be released. Sorry for the book, hope this helps you make your decision.

I'm on a 2060 with only 6 GB and I'm actually pegged at my 60 FPS refresh rate. (Perf dlss and shadows down etc)

Until morning or night time hits. Until I get on my Pteranodon. Or until I go into the forest. Then we're looking at 25 to 45 fps. There's a decent amount of stutter as well which makes fighting Raptors and such not really viable.

i have one and it's great on all games. however on ASA you will find low settings with everything turned off is best. i do have view distance and texture at high but everything else is low and off. still looks great....

10900k 4090.
This was taken in 4k on ultra settings.

[Flippers]

Yeah 100%. It will run decent

[Haias]

Yup it will be fine. Of course could be better, but you won't regret it. Imho, you will be motivated to upgrade your pc to enjoy it more!

Worst case scenario, try it for less than 2 hours and if you are not satisfied just request a refund.

Yes i run a 3060 and R5 3600 (not sure what that compares to intel cpu's and with a few commands it runs perfectly fine on 2560x1440 60fps

sometimes got random crash 1 per 2 hours....(if I set Global Illumination on low then no crash, but game looks worse)

arrogant ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, even with frame generation, your video card in 2k resolution will not produce even stable 60 fps at epic settings. What 90-100 fps, what are you talking about, even 4090 with frame generation will not produce them

♥♥♥♥ how the earth carries you storytellers. Yes, the new Ark will not work on a 3060 video card at 60 fps, even if you turn all the settings to minimum and play at 1080p, it will not produce a stable 60 fps, unless you are looking at your feet or in the sea on the beach. Post a test video where even on the lowest settings, in which the game looks like Gothic 2 Night of the Raven, near a redwood forest, when you look at it, you will have 60 fps or more.

I see it works just fine, play at high with shadows on medium and rock somewhat more than 60 for sure.
And your video is old af, useless and unpatched version of the game.
The difference between Epic and High is negligible, except fps.
Shadows and global illumination on medium are the old epic/high without ray tracing.
Remove clouds and you can go above 70.

He was talking about performance without cheating or using Console commands or editing the .ini in any way and he would be right. Once you start disabling things or editing settings you are turning off visuals completely and or lowering them lower than the "LOW" setting.

Yeah it's definitely playable with a 3060 if you use console commands to disable a bunch of things or set them lower than Low.
