FeyGriffin Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Easily, I'm running on epic (apart from shadows & ground clutter) on an overclocked 1060 & an old i5 4690K (currently stock, but have overclocked to 4GHz stable) but I also have 32GB of RAM which helps a lot p.s. your PSU is a bit underpowered if you upgrade much on that rig - really want 650+W - will also run far more efficiently than a PSU running at 80%+ capacity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eESTlane Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 performance wise, 4 things matter: cpu, gpu, ram and storage. everything else is mostly trivial. you should get those fps numbers in sp and possibly even pve. crazy pvp action will even pipe a quad-titan setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethonodon Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 would a AMD Ryzen 7 2700 Processor with Wraith Spire LED Cooler - YD2700BBAFBOX be a better PSU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyBear Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I’d verify your power supply requirements. If you underpowered you put serious risk to destroying your hard drive’s data. Speaking from experience here, doing so rendered one of my brand new hard drives unusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethonodon Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 Can someone give a a link to a good PSU for ARK on Epic? I can't seem to find a nice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mctoozle Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 You want SSDs. At least a 250gig one for Ark alone and at least a 120gig one for your OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the os and games running on separate drives will improve performance. The ssd drives have much faster read and write times, but cost more for less space. If you got the money separate drives would help, also higher rpm drives read write faster but are noisier and more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you can buy an SDD with 500GB - 1TB storage and install /uninstall games when you think you will play or not them. (You don't need to have 30 games installed if you are gonna play 2-3 of them) Since I get my first SDD I can't go back to HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
