I swear I've seen several post that the 5090 is a bad gaming card. Might be wrong. Ark runs awesome on a 4060 so I'll keep what I got.

[Serious]

Havn't tested 5090 myself so far, but
1. it's new so it's quite clear the drivers are not perfect as it is always with new lines
2. the hardware difference between 4090 and 5090 is not that much, esp. considering the 2 years they had for development. The performance difference between both cards for games will be most likely just around 10-25% depending on game of course.
Even the structure size is the same (4nm) for both 4090 and 5090.


Many people ignore that the hardwave improvment is not what it was 10 years ago.
We have to adapt our expectations about new Hardware generations.

Moore's law is dead.

yeah thats freaking horrible. i wish theyed just spend a good 6 months doing nothing but bug fixes and performance updates.

Im, playing with 1070 with medium/high settings and its playable now. No lags in forest and near big rocks as couple month ago. Also You should understand that it's in early access now but no critical problems left. Also there x1000 triangles more in square meter then for example Rust or in CS if You trying compare with this games. You will never get 300 FPS here. Even with 7090... This game need at least 64 Gb RAM more then GPU

sounds like a badly optimized game

jesus, short after the release i could run the game on my 4060 (not ti) on high and some medium settings with 60-100 frames with nvidia dlss. now i get roughly 50-80 but it feels like 20 frames (huge input lag), if i disable amd fg its not longer playable at all.

these developers suck

or maybe ark is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game, with terrible optimization.

Which is pretty much what the guy who made the video states almost at the very beginning before they showed the results.

the opinion lowers the fps? the game is ♥♥♥♥, there are people who like ♥♥♥♥, the fps have no opinions, apart from whether the title is more AMD or NVIDIA, but in this case it just sucks.

Yeah. I highly doubt it.

[Doc_R]

im just confused on how my 3060 TI even runs this game smoothly without setting my house on fire

[Dracon]

My 3080 Ti runs this fine of course with the rest of my PC specs. An issue that I think is UE5 related though, because STALKER 2 does this also
Is the flickering lights among shadows of Foliage, I can get it reduced but it never goes away.

[Highway]

Lets be real, Unreal Engine 5 is the biggest problem, way too CPU bottlenecked.

[Dracolisk]

This is nothing new as we all know that ASA and even ASE are not optimized and never have been. That video was funny as hell and if you watch the one before this with the 4090 showing ASA a stutter fest as it builds up its shader cache you would understand why. Yeah it gets better somewhat as you play but the stutters never quite go away.

Yep, I agree, can clearly see when using MSI Afterburner to display some statistics.
My RTX 3080 can use close to 360 watt of power, yet in ARK it wont go over 300, usually in the 260-280 range.
According to MSI Afterburner, it is Voltage/Power limited so it has to be the CPU that is limiting it, despite it being a 5900X, its a shame.
