Hey guys does any one know what kind of computer to buy to play ark on high graphics?(with a budget of 1000$ or over by a little)

 

[Eric Capes]

Graphics card alone will be most of that

 

[Ricky Balthis]

Saw a deal a while back, dell had a pc with a decent processor and a 1060 that would fit in that budget.. but yeah.. get you one with ideally an i7 and a 1060, probably best bang for your buck with that budget. If you can get a SSD hard drive, otherwise you will have about 5 minute load times.

Bad place to ask this advice

You will need more than $1k.... I have a gtx 1060 and this game seriously stresses it out.

 

[Ricky Balthis]

It stresses a 1080ti

 

[Kevin Allen]

You dont need better than a 1060 I have a 1050ti and I run this game on a mix of high and ultra at 1080 with an ark smooth fps lol.

I would recommend the same as a few above 1060 and an i7 or even an i5 if you are trying to save money with an ssd and 16gb of ram.

 

[Bradley Chalmers]

My graphics card was 1200

 

[Nick Patrick]

RX 460 and up will run Ark. 12GB of RAM and anything over an I5 will work fine

 

[Daniel Greaves]

Any pc with a 1060 will work fine

 

[Daniel Greaves]

8gb ram.. 1060... 2600k... works well

 

[Craig Cummings]

i have a 1050 ti and play ark on epic settings with no problems

 

[Ricky Balthis]

What kind of fps do you get Craig? I find it hard to believe that you can get anything playable on a 1050ti on complete epic. I get about like 20 or less and my 1050ti is overclocked

 

[Ricky Balthis]

But with shadows and motion blur off you can get about 50

 

[Craig Cummings]

ah yes my motion blur is turned down a little and so is my shadows.... not much though.

 

[Daniel Greaves]

Everyone has blur off.. It's crap. Shadows are cool on medium and a few other things not ticked.. apart from that, a 1060 on pretty high settings will work

 

[Daniel Greaves]

1050ti is just a waste of money, a marketing ploy to stretch the 11xx series release out further. It's all about the money

 

[Craig Cummings]

have to admit a 1050 ti is not top of the line but makes the game playable lol. could have just bought 2 1080 ti 's for $1800 to drop in my pc but i spent $125 on the 1050 ti and took the extra $1675 and turned that into $3500 then bought an antique truck and sold that to another guy for $12000 lol

 

[Craig Cummings]

so 4 days ago i ordered everything to build my own custom top of the line pc all in one shot lol
