It would probably melt.

I would be very surprised if it worked. It's probably time to upgrade :/

You didn't ask me but if you want bare minimum then I would say an Nvidia GTX 960 or 970. I would recommend getting a 980 or 980ti just to avoid the need to upgrade again too soon.

someting from the hd 8000 series if these cards are still being sold may be able to run the game on low. HD 8870 should be quite okay. but i would rather commend buying some "newer" hardware like a gtx 950 at least. if you really have no money at all a gtx 750 would be okay too but you will need to upgrade to a better card soon anyway if you won't at least get a gtx 950

and by the way: if you are still using something like a hd 5450 you should tell us what your other hardware is. it is probably way too old too

Yes, he will most likely need to upgrade his mobo to even use the new card, and new RAM. He will also most likely need a new CPU so he doesn't bottleneck the GPU.

What are the rest of your system specs?

I would not recommend any card right now, tbh. Nvidia ain't DX12 complicit and AMD are releasing Polaris around June (summer) with Nvidia releasing Pascal. I would say hang on to your money and see how the new cards go for AMD and Nvidia. Even if the new cards don't tickle you pickle, the current cards will probably be getting flogged off on the cheap around that time, especially second hand sellers wanting to sell their current for the new.

That said, 5XXX series? I'm guessing maybe an AM2+ board with a Phenom II?

You have a very good point, but you do realize that dozens of Nvidia cards support DX12 right?

Support, not complicit with the DX12 standard.

Well of course not, DX12 is brand new with very few games even using it. When Nvidia has caught up with their driver support then my 980ti will be able to take full advantage of DX12. As I said though, you made a fair point.

Time for a new computer if you're wanting to play ARK in any playable and/or enjoyable way.

Take a look at A sync compute, your 980ti will never support it, and drivers will not fix it, it need to be supported on the hardware lvl.

Minimum:
OS: 64-Bit Windows 7 Service Pack 1, or Windows 8
Processor: 2 GHz Dual-Core 64-bit CPU
Memory: 4000 MB RAM
Graphics: DirectX10 Compatible GPU with 1 GB Video RAM

YOU have:
OS: windows 7 (not sure if sp1 is even installed)
Processor: 1,86ghz dual core (way below minimum)
Memory: 4000 ram (minimum)
Graphics: a really really slow card (may get you 2 fps if you're lucky)
DirectX: Version 10 (fine)
Storage: 80 GB Hard drive (really? i had one of those 15 years ago! you can install windows and if you're lucky ark on it. then you have not a single megabyte left on your hard drive)

--> no need to upgrade your pc. you need a new one. no way this ancient piece is going to run ANY new game
