✅ Yes

~77 FPS at 1440p with optimized settings

The RTX 4080 Laptop is a strong 1440p card with 12GB of VRAM, and ARK: Survival Evolved is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU it averages about 77 FPS at 1440p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 58 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	96	95
1440p	58	77
4K	33	63

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

🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 95 FPS, at 1440p about 77 FPS, and at 4K roughly 63 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
