A good graphics card won't make a good Cpu. Please be more specific

The M series of graphics cards are terrible, unfortunately I don't think you will get any better framerate, even after further optimization.

Removing the shadow help a lot too... or just put them at low.
It won't change your game so much but your fps will become way better

Your GPU is your bottleneck. Laptop videocards really arent that great in most machines. When i used to use a GTX 760, id typically get around 40-50fps on medium settings. There is very minor differnce between the 760 and 960 class of GTX cards. Now when its the "M" class your quality will drop.
Im currently ona 1070 right now and usually get around 70 to 100fps, on high to ultra settings. frame drops depending on certain parts of the map.
Bottom line, dont do Ark on a laptop if you can help it.

Launch commands (lowmem and dx10 and nosky), ground clutter low as possible, resolution and resolution scale as low as you can stand, distant field shadowing off, shadows low.

After that it's up to your machine, make sure laptop is plugged in not in battery, no background tasks etc.

His cpu isnt helping with his fps eithor, which he can blame the unreal4 engine for that the game uses, I went from a amd tricore 3.2ghz to a intel dual core 4.2ghz, same video card (nividia gtx 950), had a 40 fps increase and get 80-100fps now with better system.

Your laptop should be running faster than that. I had a laptop with a 750m / same cpu and run the game faster. As other's have said, check your power options, set it to maximum quality while pluggd in, and actually play with the laptop plugged in (it will always play like !@#$ if you're running off battery).
