ARK Ascended and a RX5700

Donut417

Recently my friend got back in to ARK. Because ARK Ascended is cross play he was able to get more people then the last time. The issue is the game is piss poorly optimized. No surprise there, the Dev is kinda crap. The issue is the minimum spec say the GPU needs to be at least an RX 5700XT, just happens I have the non XT version. My friend has been pressuring me to buy this game, Im not willing to burn $45 USD or what ever it costs without knowing if it will be playable. The other issue is this GPU drives a 1440p Ultrawide. For most of my games the setup works fine, but Im concerned the GPU might hold me back in a big way. Im NOT looking to upgrade my GPU at this time, I just upgraded my CPU back in December when I got my bonus, next bonus should be in July. So my questions are A) will the game run? B) will it run at 1440p medium? C) will it be playable?

 

CPU: 5700X

GPU: RX 5700

RAM: 16 Gigs DDR4

Windows 10 Home

 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

Steam has a two hour window for returns.  Try it.

 

My spec gets 45-70fps at 1440p UW.  

 

Play at medium.  Turn off clouds and fog.  Set grass to 5 for size and density.

 

 

It's playable.

ITs not going to be playable. Stick to OG ark. Dont waste your time nor give these shitty devs any money for this clear money grab. Its really not worth it at all as its performance in UE5 Is HORRIBLE, worse then original ark for most computers.

We cant. One of the group is a PS5 guy and doesnt have a PC to play. Also I think they cut support for it as well. So Ill just tell them they have to wait till July when I get my after busy season bonus.

Its not just the money. I have a bandwidth cap, I rather not waste that much bandwidth. This is the time of the year where we use most of our data each month.

Yeah then wait. 

 

At least until they optimize better and more people make new maps.

 

Honestly I play both and OG Ark is still decent looking.

 

Sad part is New World looks better than ASA.  ASA is a detailed yet washed out world.

The new ARK is cross play and thats why they decided to move to it. Because I think all the other people playing on the server are on PS5, my friend is the only PC gamer on their.

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
