Fortunately for you, I spent time investigating the best graphics settings and discovered a great fix for most ASA performance or FPS issues. Let's get into it. Ark: Survival Ascended: How to fix FPS and performance issues For starters, lowering the Resolution Scale setting is the best way to increase your frame rate in Ark: Survival Ascended. Just head over to your Video settings and look for the Resolution Scale slider. Once you find your desired Resolution Scale setting number (mine is 57), the next thing you should do is set your Graphics Preset to Low. Don't worry, if you follow my instructions, you'll be able to have ASA run well and look decent. What are the best video settings in Ark: Survival Ascended? After all video settings are set to Low, make your settings just like the ones listed below: Anti Aliasing: Epic General Shadows: High Global Illumination Quality: High Foliage Quality: High Disable Max Frame Rate Increasing the settings above will keep your game looking fairly good but won't negatively impact your performance that much. If you still need a bit more performance, continue to tweak your Resolution Scale or some of the settings above. We're almost done\u2014just a few more graphics tweaks and you'll have Ark: Survival Ascended running like a dream! The final step is to enter the RTX tab in your General settings. There, enable NVIDIA DLSS, but disable Super Resolution. Personally, I didn't like how Super Resolution affected my game, but feel free to try it out and see what you think. Improve FPS by removing clouds in Ark: Survival Ascended Removing clouds in Ark: Survival Ascended will give you a pretty significant FPS boost. You can remove clouds in ASA by hitting \"~\" to open the console and enter \"r.volumetriccloud 0\". This command consistently increased my FPS by around 10! However, it does remove some of the beautiful visuals when it comes to water reflections and lighting. You can add the clouds back by entering \"r.volumetriccloud 1\". Other ways to improve FPS and performance in Ark: Survival Ascended If none of the above is doing much to improve your frame rate or performance in Ark: Survival Ascended, here are a few more settings you can apply in the Video settings for your game: Motion Blur: OFF Light Bloom: OFF Light Shafts: OFF Low-Light Enhancement: OFF Enable Foliage & Fluid Interaction: OFF Enable Footstep Particles: OFF Enable Footstep Decals: ON Well, that's all there is to it! This strategy will act as a quick fix for those who are really struggling to run Ark: Survival Ascended at an acceptable frame rate. If your FPS is still struggling, do not despair. I'm sure there will be helpful performance updates and mods that release in the near future. System requirements for Ark: Survival Ascended Ark: Survival Ascended is exclusive to PC due to issues with its console versions.But, like any other game, Ark: Survival Ascended has minimum and recommended system requirements. The former are necessary for the game to run, while the latter allows it to run with optimal graphical fidelity and smoothness: Minimum Requirements Recommended Requirements CPU Intel Core i7 6800K\/AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Intel Core i5 10600K\/AMD Ryzen 5 3600X Memory 16 GB 32 GB GPU Nvidia GeForce 1080\/AMD Radeon RX 5600 Nvidia RTX 3080\/AMD Radeon RX 6800","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ASA_beach_graphics1-e1698334957554.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1009159"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2406"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1009159"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1009159\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1153571,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1009159\/revisions\/1153571"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1009190"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1009159"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1009159"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1009159"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1009159"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1009159"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1009159"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1009159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
