no SLI optimization back then, but I ciould average like 40 FPS

2018-04-11 14:04:31 UTC  

lowest settings obv

2018-04-11 14:05:03 UTC  

Now with my 1070, I can barely get consistent 90fps last time I tried it (lowest settings)

2018-04-11 14:05:15 UTC  

last time I tested was dec 29th 2017

2018-04-11 14:06:05 UTC  

Okay heres the deal, i realize theres a lot of poorfags crying about ARK not doing so well on their shitty graphics cards. And this is mainly the argument ppl have that the game isnt optimized. You cant use literal shit hardware and expect ARK to perform great. The game is too complex to be played on a potato.

2018-04-11 14:06:55 UTC  

The point is, ARK is too advanced for the hardware.

2018-04-11 14:07:18 UTC  

4.3GHz 4820k 4c8t, GTX 1070, 32gb 11ms @2400mhz qc, RAID 0 2x3TB HDD and 250GB Samsung 850EVO

2018-04-11 14:07:34 UTC  

that hardware isn't low end lol

2018-04-11 14:07:40 UTC  

it is for ARK

2018-04-11 14:08:05 UTC  

you need 2 1080tis on crossfire to play ARK at 60fps on all epic settings

2018-04-11 14:08:12 UTC  

Because it has shit optimization. For how shitty the game looks at low settings, and what's being rendered, it should perform much better.

2018-04-11 14:08:20 UTC  

yeah

2018-04-11 14:08:31 UTC  

because the optimization sucks, there isn't all that much to actually render

2018-04-11 14:09:04 UTC  

the Titan V is barely 10% better than a GTX 1080Ti, but one can render in real-time nearly cinematic RTX scenes

2018-04-11 14:09:44 UTC  

I know for a fact that the optimization sucks. You can defend it, but that doesn't mean you're right/.

2018-04-11 14:10:02 UTC  

ARK is known for shitty optimization

2018-04-11 14:10:25 UTC  

The GTX 1070 is almost equivalent to the GTX 980Ti, which you needed 2 of in SLI to run ARK proficiently when I first got the game

2018-04-11 14:10:29 UTC  

that's ABSURD

2018-04-11 14:10:43 UTC  

They did a massive optization update several months ago.

2018-04-11 14:10:47 UTC  

you still get shit performance with 2xGTX 1080Ti's in that game

2018-04-11 14:11:45 UTC  

tbf SLI is getting less and less effective

2018-04-11 14:11:48 UTC  

The game on max settings looks nice, but what's being rendered shouldn't have THAT demand

2018-04-11 14:11:54 UTC  

SLI sucks ass

2018-04-11 14:12:01 UTC  

Yee

2018-04-11 14:12:05 UTC  

It's only practical for flagship, even then a bit of a waste

2018-04-11 14:12:22 UTC  

Yep

2018-04-11 14:12:33 UTC  

Have you even looked at the game files? The core character files are huge along with the environment. There is shit tons of detail to load in. This is why its so demanding on the GPU's

2018-04-11 14:12:50 UTC  

WRONG, couldn't be more wrong

2018-04-11 14:13:04 UTC  

You're so ignorant

2018-04-11 14:13:12 UTC  

I wonder how msrp is going to work for the new line of GPUs

2018-04-11 14:13:23 UTC  

From Nvidia

2018-04-11 14:13:37 UTC  

msrp wont even matter i got a stash just for the new gpus when they hit

2018-04-11 14:13:49 UTC  

if it were texture sizes in question, then the absurdly fast VRAM in the 1080Ti would have no problem with render time, also after they are loaded onto the GPU, they don't need to be deloaded with 11GB

2018-04-11 14:14:10 UTC  

SO even if your VRAM was trash, after rendering you would recover framerate

2018-04-11 14:14:16 UTC  

but in ARK, that ain't true

2018-04-11 14:14:48 UTC  

And if it's because of constant caching, that's the game's optimization's fault for not regulating it logically

2018-04-11 14:15:28 UTC  

You call me ignorant, but you barely understand the hardware itself

2018-04-11 14:15:40 UTC  

"I have GTX 1080Ti's so I totally know what I'm talking about"

2018-04-11 14:17:57 UTC  

GTA V for whatever reason used to perform twice as good as it does now

2018-04-11 14:18:13 UTC  

they didn't improve anything, they just lost something

2018-04-11 14:19:01 UTC  

between three different drivers on my 1070 with a relatively high single-thread, I got an average of like 90fps on low?
