No, you can't.
This is ARK.
No one can.

you can thank devs for being too busy pumping out another broken dlc to even learn what the word optimization means.
Also since the devs don't test anything they have the resolution scaling higher then your monitors resolution so just turn that down right before it starts actually degrading quality.

I could run 4k max settings fine. Until this latest Windows update. Now I get nothing but crashes.

No, you shouldn't be able to with that build sorry. I suggest either NOT play on 4K or buy a 4K monitor around 27" and hope for the best.

[Solemnwind]

Lol and what help would that monitor do? I have what is recommended for 4k gaming

Currently for a 1080ti, nvidia does not recommend Ark to be played in full max settings under normal game play circumstances. Most settings can be but a few are suggested to be dropped.

However you can but you will suffer some fidelity and performance issues either potentially or guaranteed.

Again this is under normal play.

If you are attempting to also play on congested servers, servers with massive mall sized bases and dino parking lots, super boosted rates and settings(double triple dino counts etc), heavy use of modded content especially multiple overhaul mods not meant to be used together, and more.... well then settings have to be adjusted down even more.

Also if you're using MSI afterburner, this is a known issue maker for Ark.

Out side of all that, your definition of "cant play" is vague. If you're encountering crashes there may be other issues going on in which you would need to provide much more accurate information to be able to sift through to see what may be going on.

sure you can run it even i can. probably for about 4 mins until my pc explodes or burns out. on a serious note i dont see why you couldnt at least you would probably get 30 fps no?

But for which game? on what size monitor/screen?

A smaller monitor will(should) give you better FPS and/or better graphics.

And TVs in general are not a good option for high end gaming.

OK thanks.

I have same spec 8700k at 4.8ghz and evga 1080 ti ftw3 hybrid slightly over clocked and still only get high 4k, on Philips 40in 4k monitor all running on nvme ssds, from my own dedicated 8core 16 thread server with 48gb ram and pcix ssds

smh, people talking about monitor size here and that it would matter for the fps...
The amount of pixels is the same, whether it's a 60" 4k monitor, or a 27". It does not change the work your GPU has to do.
The only difference is, that 4k on a 27" looks way better, because the pixel density is higher.
