Best ARK: Survival Evolved settings for the AMD Radeon 760M (iGPU) (2026)

On a AMD Radeon 760M (iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), ARK: Survival Evolved runs at roughly 37 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 16FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD Radeon 760M (iGPU) is a handheld graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and ARK: Survival Evolved is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 37 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 16 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 37 FPS at 1080p and 22 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 13 FPS at 4K. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in ARK: Survival Evolved at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 ARK: Survival Evolved: The original ARK - notoriously heavy and CPU-bound on big bases; drop Ground Clutter and Sky first.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
ARK: Survival Evolved has no DLSS, but the resolution-scale slider (internal render resolution) is the single biggest GPU lever on this famously heavy game.
Ground Clutter DensityLow+14% FPS
Grass and undergrowth density — the heaviest setting on the island. Medium is a huge FPS win and even helps you spot creatures.
Sky QualityLow+10% FPS
Clouds and atmospheric scattering — surprisingly expensive. Medium looks fine and reclaims a lot of frames.
View DistanceLow+9% FPS
How far terrain and structures render — partly CPU-bound on big bases. High is a safe trim from Epic.
General ShadowsLow+8% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. Medium is a strong step down with little visible loss.
Post-ProcessingLow+5% FPS
Bloom, depth-of-field and light shafts. Medium keeps the look cheaply.
TexturesEpic-1% FPS
Surface detail on creatures and terrain — hungry for VRAM. High is safe on 8GB.
