RTX 2070 Super
Hi I am struggling to get 90 fps on this game with all low settings which I feel like should not be happening. I have a RTX 2070 super with 16 gb of ram and a decent processor. I am at the point where my game looks like a 12 year old made it yet my fps is still garbage. (I play on 100 hz monitor so 90 fps looks like crap.)

I recommend updating gpu drivers(if you haven't done it already).Also you should check this optimization guide https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=903819045

What is your resolution? If 1080p you should have no trouble hitting 90fps on high/epic settings. If 1440p high/medium settings should be fairly easy to hit 90fps.

There is certainly something not right on your end if you arent able to hit 90-100 fps with that GPU. Make sure you arent capped by the game or some external v-sync. Update your drivers for the GPU and double check its running correctly in other games.

I'd be wary using that guide unless you already know what you're doing. Calling it a 2020 guide and using old, conflicting and incorrect information based on other peoples older guides isn't doing anyone favours.

i.e launch commands that are done by default by the game currently, or are redundant because they do the same thing as other launch commands written there, nvidia has changed their control panel since the older guides were made and you'll find some settings don't match anymore. Also making the game look like putty isn't going to help someone with a 2070 super, he should be running without workarounds for potato cards.

Just for the sake of accuracy, can you go to the steam help menu, then click "system information" and then copy paste all that information here. This lets us see what -steam- detects for your computer and any discrepancies that may exist.

But overall, if you're an fps-o-phile, ark is going to make you crazy because there are other variables on any good gpu that you'll still encounter drops/lack of consistency.

man your lucky, my pc is poo with 8GB of ram, i have no idea of my FPS on low settings, i say just play on normal graphics and deal with the 40fps as i deal with a lot lot less. Also try playing offline, it takes less to run and you have to solo or play with friends, but it should up your FPS.

Here you go!

No discrepancies that I can see so that's good.

Having all settings low in game of course is going to in general have your performance better but obviously at the sacrifice of graphic fidelity. That is normal.

But try to use nvidia's geforce graphics to give the suggested settings for you and match them.

That said here are things that you need to keep in mind that can cause issues with fps in ark:

1. Playing on highly congested servers: mall sized bases and dino lots can and will cause fps loss. This is made worse on most pvp servers where turret and other similar doubling up on walls etc causes alot of rendering to be done and lag. This is unfortunately normal and a factor you have to accept if you choose to play on such servers.

2. Playing in single player similar to point 1 or on even small community servers where people build(or you) so much that their bases cant be fully rendered due to going out of render distance.

3. Having super boosted settings. Especially with wild dino count this can be a mess. Some maps encounter this issue especially with bee hives since if you have a high wild dino count plus fast respawn, the hives will stack.. some of them almost seemingly endlessly and those hive locations will lag out players like no tomorrow if in render distance. Some maps make this worse too(the Volcano map and ragnarok are good examples).

3. Modded content. Mods adding dinos are especially prone to this. Classic flyers mod if improperly done will see some maps with wyverns explode in population and cause all manner of trouble. A badly done classic flyers mod set up plus wild dino count increase and on the ragnarok map can make the frost wyvern area a disconnect looking for a place to happen for some rigs due to fps dropping to 1 or lower.



So this is what I was speaking of in relation to how people obsessed with fps can go nuts playing ark because there are too many variables that can contribute to things. To also put this into perspective, 60 fps is considered good and anything above that complaining about is really just a GoT sweet summer child sort of thing, really.
