7RobFrost Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Good day Decent specs to run smooth would be CPU I5-9400 (Intel) Or R5 2600 (AMD) 16Gb Ram 6GB GPU GTX 1660 Super Or GTX1060 (6GB) SSD 256 for OS and steam ( if you can go with a 500GB to include ark runs much smother) HDD 1tb 7200RPM 550w PSU Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your definition of "smooth" and graphics quality needs mentioned. With specs guy above listed, you won't be running dx11 version with graphics up "smoothly". Much depends if you are playing official, unofficial or single player because the one thing people never mention is huge bases, thousands of dinos out, causes a ton of lag. If playing single player or an unofficial server with good hardware you'll be fine. Official with good graphics & what I mentioned above, forget about it. Even people with way better rigs than me have problems on official with all the structures. Mostly just a fair warning because I was disappointed when I upgraded my rig and still laggy on officials. If you plan on using d3d10, sm4 & lowmemory commands or even a pvp ini file, that drastically helps but the quality is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zahlea Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 "Cheap PC" and "smooth ARK" are not statements you say together except for in the sentence "You can't play smooth ARK on a cheap PC" ? Like @Usuallyafk said - it depends heavily on your preferences when it comes to frame rate and graphics quality. If you turn down the graphics quality all the way down, you might get away with it on a cheap PC but it really, really looks like dodo poop. I have a high end gaming rig and like my high graphics settings. Even so, I'm not maxing the graphics and am still struggling to keep 30 FPS in my bases.

wizdawizard66 Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 I dont really need high/epic graphics, so make your suggestions based on moderate settings. I just want it smooth, and acceptable quality. I dont really care about sky/ ground clutter and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyMalibu Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I would say: Second hand: i3 8350k (a 8100 should do okay too). 16gb ddr4 1060 6gb / 1070 8gb SSD That would give you solid fps if you sacrifice some detail on some unnoticeable things.

Ark:Survival Evolved costs money and goes on sale a lot. But the PC needed to actually run Ark is expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiImZech Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 to run ark smoothly but with crap graphics you actually need a card with high vram and at least 16gb of ram currently running 16gb ram and 2070s...yet ark is still not smooth I have about 1 sec loading times when I enter and exit caves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthompson2336 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I'm running a 3900x with a 2080ti and 64GB ram. I can squeeze 70 frames at 1440 with all of my fans screaming and my legs getting toasty from all the heat. I can get 140 frames on tomb raider, so that's crazy low. My point being that even at the upper end of things, ark is still a monster. Better to settle on your hardware and then just go with whatever it can push out. One little extra spec here or there isn't going to make a lot of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
