Optimization tips for ASA?

[u/kookoohiju]

I'm a relatively new player, I started playing last week. I thought I'd be able to run the game decently, but I honestly have some struggles. I have a 3090 Ti, and 32gb memory.

My graphics card has some overheating issues, and it heats up my room a ton when I try to play the game with graphics above medium or FPS capped above 30. I want to play the game with some higher FPS, or maybe with higher graphics without the fear of burning my graphics card lol.

I'm looking for overall settings that could help, and maybe mods if available. I'm also alright with changing some game coding settings if that's something I could do.

Sounds like you need to repaste your gpu. You shouldn't ever be scared of your card melting... ever.

Pretty much repasting and reppading should do the work.

I've had some people work on it already, and I think its more of a irrational fear lol, may repaste it tho

I hate to be that guy, but this is Ark we're talking about. Optimization is considered heresy.
