TastyKapro2003 Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 Yes, I know nothing about this kind of thing, but it requires NVIDIA GTX 670 2GB. At least, that is what is listed under Steam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solix414 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 it won't. intel integrated graphics is trash, and an up to date dell latitude can barely get away with it. get a 670, you can find one for about $100 au. ideally, get a 1660 ti, or an rx 580 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a cheap one is better then nothing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was recorded on 4400 based on the description: Which is way better than 2500 and look at the terrible graphics... I think even Switch looks better. ?

Not because he has to but because with those graphics its far easier to spot people. Rocks and bushes don't render, and trees appear as dead stalks void of foliage. If we spot someone when we are raiding, probably 70% of the time its him that's found them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm well aware that you can remove components from rendering. Though, that is clearly not the point of this thread. Without mentioning such modifications are against the CoC and can get you globally banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchesTwex Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I occasionally play on my laptop that I bought last year when I was doing some travelling (gotta keep my pve home and dino family alive) - when I was shopping I knew I had to get discreet gfx, so picked up one with an internal nvidia mx150. I run it at reduced resolution and near-lowest quality settings for all graphics, and although it looks mostly terrible (compared to my desktop anyways), it does run quite smoothly, rarely dropping below 30fps. It's definitely worth investing at least a couple hundred $'s to get something that makes the game look half-decent and running smoothly (bar server lag spikes of course). Good luck!

Uueerdo Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Ark won't run well (if at all) on current integrated graphics, let alone 7+ year old integrated graphics. ....and using "HD Graphics 2500" and "new gaming desktop", or "new" anything really, in the same sentence is contradictory.

He's not modding the game, hes simply setting the graphics to a lower setting via the options the game provides. It's definitely legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch11 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 HD4000 integrated graphics will run on "low" mode. I did this on a laptop PC for a few months when I started playing. The trick is that you must have at least 4MB dedicated graphics RAM. My Mac laptop although it has newer integrated Intel graphics (maybe HD6000?), only has 2MB dedicated to graphics and thus ARK will not run on it. As noted previously, there are some advantages to running in the lowest graphics mode, but you really miss out on the "awe factor" of the landscapes.

solix414 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 ah. gtx 670, an old nvidia graphics card. you can look on ebay, half the time any scammer will be selling you a 670 and saying it's a 1060. if you look on sites like newegg, they will only sell up to date cards, and a good cheap but relatively powerful option is the AMD rx 580. all of this is irrelevant if you have a laptop tho. what are you using?

Do you know if your PC case is ready for this? You need to check this before ordering any ole graphics card. You might need a low profile one. You may need a smaller sized one based on the room in your case. Don't make a mistake and get the wrong thing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solix414 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 he's likely going to need to upgrade more than just the gpu before long, i mean, he's using a 3rd gen processor, so he might as well drop a case swap in anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
