💡 ARK: Survival Evolved: The original ARK - notoriously heavy and CPU-bound on big bases; drop Ground Clutter and Sky first.

At 1080p expect around 101 FPS, at 1440p about 60 FPS, and at 4K roughly 66 FPS with optimized settings. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for ARK: Survival Evolved. ARK: Survival Evolved doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
