What graphics settings to use

[Tony Speed]

I've been trying to play this game for a few days now but im having trouble with what graphics settings to use, i cant find anything of use on YouTube so wondering if anyone has similar specs to me and able to help out please? The game ran alright but not great for the past few days but after logging on today im getting low fps and the textures look awful for some reason even though i haven't changed any settings. I still want the game to look nice but it would be great if it at least ran half decent

Specs
4070 Super 12GB
Ryzen 7 7800X3D
32GB DDR5 6000MHZ

I run on low everything with view on epic ... everything like light bloom switched off.
im running Ark on a Laptop.

so specs
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz 2.81 GHz
64gb DDR4
GTX 1060 6GB mobile
1 TB SSD
150mbps fiberoptic internet
120hz screen

I get 34 to 42 fps

I have a
4070 12GB
A bit older CPU
AMD Ryzen 7 3700x
and 32GB (1330) Memory
(I know Memory and CPU needs to get upgraded) :P

I play in a solution of 2560x1600
Graphic settings are all on high and
on the right side in Graphic settings i got all off/low

and most Time i get around 60 fps

The bigger problem is that Ark/wildcard/Snailgames are
using low spec servers to run Ark...
So when many ppl are online, the Server need to load much structures
so you get issues like
framedrops and sometime the screen stand for little moments.
Most Time it´s a Serverside/Game problem not an issue of your Pc.

So if you play on Private Server or single player, you should be fine with this settings.
On Private or Singleplayer i think you could put all graphics on epic without problems =)

"Edit" After the Nvidia Graphic Card update (from 04.12) i got bigger issues then bevore. Bevore i playd in all epic. now i need to play in all High XD

That's a great machine you got. You should definitely be able to crank to high or possibly epic settings at 60fps or medium at an even higher fps.
