Does your machine meet the minimum specs on the store page?
The GPU matters the most. Personally, I would recommend at least an RX 470 or GTX 1050 ti.
None of the answers have been helpful to you so far because you haven't answered basic questions about your computer setup. We need to know your specs.
What specific parts does your computer have in it?
There generally aren't benchmarking tools for specific games. The "benchmarks" you see in reviews are the average framerates manually recorded from specific runthroughs with different parts.
And I'm telling you no such benchmark exists. You can't trust everybody's advice, but ARK players are going to know the hardware requirements better than most others. As for myself, I've worked IT for 3 years and have been a PC hardware geek for closer to 5. Some of us know more than enough to tell you what you need to know.
PS: If benchmarks are telling you "no GPU detected," I would wonder if you're running off integrated (which is always trash). You can check what GPU you have under Display Devices in Control Panel.
Much better. ARK would not run well on that machine. Very few games would. I know from the specs its a rather outdated laptop.
There are some pretty decent Black Friday deals for gaming laptops, so now's a good time to upgrade it you have the money. I would recommend something with at least a GTX 1060, an SSD (not an HDD), and an 8th gen Intel processor. I've seen them for as low as $750 during Black Friday sales.
It miiiiight be playable, but certainly not a great experience. With that machine, I wouldn't expect to play much more than platformers and old games. Even lightweight games like Overwatch won't run particularly well on that machine.
Glad to know. Trust me though, your "fine" now would change dramatically if you got an actually good PC. I've had several friends who said the same thing, but realized how awful anything below 50-60 fps is after they upgraded. I used to call 30 fps "fine" until I moved up.
Now I'm addicted to my 120+ Hz (fps) monitors. :P
Don't trust the expertise here huh? Why bother asking anything at all then, figure it out your damn self. The page I linked is where you compare your cpu and gpu against hundreds of thousands of other userbenchmarks to find the likely average fps for Ark on your hardware, you could also run the benchmark specifically on your machine for more accuracy. But whatever.
