Your PC Is Not Ready For Ark Survival Ascended... RTX 4090 Benchmark!

[@Middleseed]

0:51 That explains why my 6750xt is dying when trying to play it at 1080p.

[@blueridgeocean]

I love it. But i am sad that my 3080 will probably be unworthy of the task

[@Manosetremor]

This is so on point as this was before the patch (that gave me 15more fps) and right now we should use this game as a new system testing benchmark for ue5

[@MrJays]

I totally agree that this is one of the craziest UE5 benchmarks we have now!

[@FrAsSBrAsS]

@@MrJays you cant use unoptimized and broken game as benchmark it doestn represent at all what your pc is really able to achieve... its like using pcr test for covid....

[@Boo-p]

Holy crap, that game is definitely gorgeous, but my god... RIP every other GPU 😂 Great video!

[@urugamer5]

this is next gen THATS THE PROBLEM XD its like old days ark 1 was too much ahead of his time

[@MrJays]

Totally agreed! This is a truly next-gen game with all of the graphical features it offers! It's insane! I remember Ark 1 ran like poo poo as well! LOL

[@midnightblue3285]

@@MrJays what happend to ark 2 game ? is it canceled ?

[@oxXBubbleXxo]

Shitting my pants right now just thinking how good games will look in 20 years :d

[@yeonsharien]

Until today ark ascended is still marked as early access, which mean it is the asset for helping GPU company to gain profits especially in selling RTX4090 gpu. Believe me or not, they can optimize the Ark ascended graphics to be playable on RTX3060 in epic setting running above 40 fps but they don't do that for some reason. They want us to be ready and preparing high gear for the coming of Ark 2. This is a propaganda and it is a part of their marketing strategy.

5:04 frame gen causes crashes.

Hey, man. Since we last spoke I tried something that among all the noobs, one person told me the secret. I'm running Cyberpunk now with DLDSR 2.25x. This renders the game at 1620p and brings it back down to 1080p. Then I turn on DLSS performance, which I can't even explain what weird magic this is doing at this point because the resolution is going up and down more than once, and I get insane crispy and detailed graphics with no FPS loss.
As for Ark Survival Ascended, I never bothered to look at this game. The trailer looked like a Fortinite 2.0. But watching this video of yours... Damn!! It's looking insane. If I end up finding the actual gameplay at least passable, I'm gonna buy it just for the graphics and immersion :O
PS.: you forgot to test 1440p with FG on. I'm gonna have to try it because of the DLDSR hehe

[@TheMeltedJedi]

Fortnite? Which trailer did you watch? Fortnite looks like a kids cartoon.

[@MrJays]

That is definitely an interesting outcome! I'm glad it works for you!
I totally agree, this game is insanely gorgeous, and, I didn't forget to include 1440p with FG - I couldn't get FG to work at 1440p for some reason. My framerate was broken, so I just turned it off

[@bragilbe12]

I love the game, but my little computer barely runs it on medium settings lol

[@MrJays]

Yeah, it's suuuper taxing!

[@gregneff208]

BEAUTIFUL!

[@RQUKOfficial]

Fast forward to now... of course, it's the usual beautified and staged trailer from Wildcard. Unlike the actual game, this wonderful trailer doesn't exhibit the lag, janky framerates, image ghosting, instability and countless other issues the release has. They've lost a good 50-60% of their playerbase since the game launched. They need to change their priorities from monetising everything to fixing the base game. Very sad to see.

[@HiNerd831]

Game is gorgeous! UE5, yay!!! Can we talk about that Dino though!!!!!! Omfg, that’s all I would want this game for!!! 🤗🤗🤗

[@MrJays]

That Dino almost killed me, but it was so dang detailed!! I looked like that gif of the minion looking up in awe from Despicable Me right before almost getting crushed LOL
The game is absolutely stunning!!

[@cilantro_4839]

The only part of my pc thats scrapes by on the minimum requirements is my gpu. Radeon 5700 xt. The rest is well above recommended, game crashed when I killed a compy 5 minutes in.

[@An_Enraged_Pig]

i have a ryzen 9 7950x3d and 4070ti and the game at max resolution is crap

[@MetalSniperHD]

How do you spell jorgehus?

[@bloodmoney207]

ya still rockin out that 1000W PSU?

[@-psycho-0]

yeah i just bought 7800xt and wow it's looks like we need to buy 1090Ti to play 1440p 60fps

[@MrJays]

Yeah, this game is definitely going to be rough on even the newest GPUs. Maybe the 5090 or 6090 can play it better lol

[@b151proof]

So sad because I was excited about upgrading my card from 3080ti to a new 4090, but these benchmarks are atrocious. Guess I'll wait for wildcard to get their sh*t together or wait and see what the next gen card brings to the table... smh

[@MrVidification]

Next gen pc games may be available only on streaming services if graphics card prices don't get any better and storage can't keep up

[@user-zw9bl9lu4u]

1660 super run fine

[@MrJays]

Define "runs fine"?

[@imistborn]

"This is fine" meme

[@Tocxymp]

i use the rtx 8000 and its the most beautiful game i have seen in a long time

[@SirPigingstin]

Do you think my laptop could run this? My computer specs are: Rtx 3060, i7-10750H, 16gb ddr4 2933 mhz ram, 1tb m.s ssd 3.5gb/s.

[@MrJays]

I think it will be a very interesting experience, and you might have to play on low, but worth a shot! Just try it for an hour, and if it doesn't run well, submit a steam refund. Their policy is if you played under 2 hours you basically guarantee a refund

[@SirPigingstin]

@@MrJaysAlright thank you so much.

[@ukaszl3197]

Its even more demending then cyberpunk 2077 on max settings witch patch tracking.
Not looking as good as cyberpunk.

[@MrJays]

Idk, I think Ark looks incredible in it's own way! :D

[@BeardsofFuryGaming]

I'm running a 7900xtx, with a 7800 3dx and this game runs ok, I get somewhere between 50 and 60 fps on a 1440 monitor.

[@TheMeltedJedi]

Jay Uploads. Then the performance patch drops. 😮
You should make an update to this post the perf patch today I would love to see the comparison on the 4090.
My setup.
RTX 4070
Ryzen 9 3900XT
32Gb 3200 MHz
2TB NVME M.2
I can now achieve 80+ fps (some dips into 60s here and there)
Ultra Settings
DLSS Balanced with Frame Generation on.

[@CeceliPS3]

You forgot to tell what resolution. It's 2023. We can't yet just assume you're running at 4k just because you own a 4090 haha

[@TheMeltedJedi]

@@CeceliPS3 I actually edited the comment right after but it must not have saved. 2460x1440 oh and I have a 4070 not 4090 😀

[@CeceliPS3]

Nice. 80+ on 1440p is good.@@TheMeltedJedi

[@TheMeltedJedi]

@@CeceliPS3 yeah I’m locking it to 60 to maintain a very smooth and constant frame rate and I’m happy with it.

[@CeceliPS3]

I just tested it. I'm getting around 80. Low 70's, high 90's. I tried locking at 60 since you mentioned and I just couldn't.@@TheMeltedJedi

[@Kyle496]

UE4 is just too new, give it a gen or two and then we'll see it run fine. It's mostly the RT trashing performance and it's just not worth using for the drop in fps.

[@TheMeltedJedi]

UE4 isn’t new it’s many years old. Unreal Engine 5 is the newer version.

[@MrJays]

UE5 is definitely super new. It's still in its infancy stages, I agree. And I also agree that it's probably the RT that makes the game crazy difficult to run, plus the volumetric clouds seem pretty taxing too

[@legendarygigan9855]

@@TheMeltedJedidid you even try to think he made a typo?

[@kokorochin01]

Game was made in order to upgrade the graphics as the main feature, yet 95% of players can't play above low/medium, if at all (I know I can't).
Pretty sad. No point in getting ASA if one can't enjoy the graphics on High/Ultra imo.

[@MrJays]

Yeah, this game is really pushing hardware to the limits! Just like the first Ark did back in 2015. It's gorgeous, but most people wont see it like this until the 4090 is $400, or the 6090 releases lol

[@ionbarari7202]

​@@MrJaysit runs a bit better now, but... 3080 10g is not good enough for 1440p (actually downgraded from 4k for ASA, ASEvolved ran fine 4k almost all Epic - upgraded from 1070Ti thinking I was good for the next 5 years)
