No 3.7 is base, 4.3ghz is all-core turbo and 4.7 is single-core turbo

[Coodan]

@Majestic ok so that means mine isnt overclocked. so what should i do and how. also you checked the latest graph right? the one at 15:12:34

[Majestic]

What sort of thermal setup are you running, is the case well ventilated?
Have you verified whether v-sync is disabled?

[Coodan]

@Majestic yes i have liquid cooling and case is well ventilated. also i cant find ark in nvidia control panel, but i wouldnt think it would be a v sync issuse because as i said the fps is low when i look at intense areas but when i look up or down its fine.

Then the drops in frequency could be as a result of the system waiting for a certain calculation long enough that the CPU entered idle-state. Intel chips switch pretty fast in this regard. Turn down the graphics to medium and see if the issue still persists.

@Majestic ok should i still turn off multicore enhancement?

It's not enabled, otherwise it'd be running 4.7 all-core.

[Coodan]

@Majestic oh i thought you said to turn it off

Meh this is not a chat service. Can you please group a string of actions you undertook into a single post. Anyone stumbling in on this topic has a hard time catching up.

[Coodan]

@Majestic yeah sure but lets try to resolve this. so on medium settings it is smooth. But i should be able to run the game on ultra smoothly so there is something wrong here.

Why should you be able to run it at ultra settings?

[Coodan]

so so far i gave system information and msi afterburner log information while running ark survival evolved.

[Coodan]

@Majestic because the components i have are well over that of people who play the game on ultra

Ah yes, the infamous people who "run at ultra settings just fine". They don't. The game at ultra probably just sets an near-infinite LOD with no attempts at lowering geometry.

Meaning when looking at, as you say, a forest, the drawcalls spike due to the increased vertexes and the API cannot handle this.

Are your drivers up to date?

[Coodan]

@Majestic wait so i just looked and it said ultra should be for a titan x..... than why are people able to run it with gtx 980tis on 50 fps

[Coodan]

@iLostMyXbox21 yes my nvidia gtx drivers are up to date

They don't. Don't believe everything you read on the internet to be true. Boy if I knew this was your frame of reference this topic could've been much shorter.

[Coodan]

@Majestic so you are saying i am fine?

Yes. Avoid settings that have to do with model/character detail and draw distance. Atleast don't put them over something like "high".
