Pick your processor and graphics card — we compare them with this game's requirements.
How we estimate: a PC exactly at the recommended spec is taken as ~60 FPS at 1080p Medium and one at the minimum spec as ~30 FPS at 1080p Low; your CPU and GPU scores are compared with those, then fixed multipliers for resolution and preset apply. Real results vary with drivers, patches and upscalers.

About the game
Ark: Survival Evolved is an open-world action-adventure survival game where players awaken stranded on a mysterious island populated by dinosaurs, prehistoric creatures, and mythical beasts. Gameplay revolves around gathering resources, crafting tools and structures, and taming creatures that can be ridden or used for combat and transportation. The game supports both single-player and multiplayer modes, with multiplayer servers allowing players to form tribes and compete or cooperate. Several expansion packs add new maps and storylines, and the game spawned an animated series, a remaster in Unreal Engine 5 titled Ark: Survival Ascended, and a planned sequel.
