FAQ
Can I run ARK: Survival Ascended?
On a mid-range PC (Ryzen 5 7600 + RTX 4070) at High settings, expect around 45fps at 1080p — playable. Drop to Low/Medium for meaningfully more, or enter your own parts above for your exact number.
What are the RAM requirements for ARK: Survival Ascended?
You'll want at least 16GB — below that, expect stutters and loading hitches no matter how strong your GPU is. 32GB is the comfortable recommended amount.
Is ARK: Survival Ascended CPU or GPU intensive?
ARK: Survival Ascended leans CPU-heavy — a stronger processor will lift your FPS here more than most games, especially in busy scenes.
