that hardware isn't low end lol

it is for ARK

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

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

yeah

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

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

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

ARK is known for shitty optimization

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

that's ABSURD

They did a massive optization update several months ago.

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

tbf SLI is getting less and less effective

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

SLI sucks ass

Yee

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

Yep

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

WRONG, couldn't be more wrong

You're so ignorant

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

From Nvidia

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

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

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

but in ARK, that ain't true

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

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

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

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

they didn't improve anything, they just lost something

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

>literally a faggot with a 1070 bitching about how he cant get ARK to perform on Epic settings with that piece of trash

I used to get over 60FPS average on low with 1x GTX 760, which has performance that isn't even comparable tot a 1070

I didn't say epic settings, retard

youre plain ass retarded

"you have this piece of hardware and I don't understand anything about hardware, and that $450 GPU is trash lol"

"hurr durr i should be able to get epic settings on my 1070!! REEEE ARK isnt optimized!!!"

You don't understand anything, I'm not bitching about anything
