💡 ARK: Survival Ascended: One of the most demanding games made - lower Foliage and Lumen first; upscaling is required.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 74 FPS, at 1440p about 69 FPS, and at 4K roughly 62 FPS with optimized settings. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
