What settings should I be able to run Ark at?
So i run can run ark at lowest settings and i get a good 50-60 Fps, and i wondered what settings i could get while still staying above 30 Fps (not sure if this changes anything, but i have a laptop)

Computer Specs
Processor: Intel Core i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50GHz

Video Card: Intel HD Graphics 520

Ram: 8 GB

integrated video cards aren't made for games like this, especially Intel.
if you manage to get it to run, you won't be able to play any higher than low settings, because the integrated video card shares the system ram.

So heres the really interesting thing, i can actually run ark at max settings at 15-ish fps

did you just get that system? Cause you have 700+ hours in the game and should be able to adjust it without asking us.
Either way, I have mine set at medium/high with a couple like tile buffer, post processing, and view distance set at epic. I also turned off the Low Quality Level Streaming and got a 25fps boost from that. I have a radeon r9 270x, and only a dual core 3.9 with 8gb ram.
I get 30 to 60 fps depending on where I am.

that card is terrible its worse than the gt 740 I have laying around like 130% worse according to game debate and I could barely get the game to run at 30fps with low settings and the resolution cranked down...

not only the vid card here, 8Gb ram may be another problem with the un optimized game atm, tho optimization coming soon may help but ... i wouldnt hold my breath waiting for it
8Gb is barely adequate but with reported memory leaks .....
