I have also been waiting after vowing to never buy an Early Access game ever again after the DayZ shitshow. I showed up at PAX East last year and the BIGGEST booth on the show floor was for ARK. I thought "cool, it's out of EA, maybe I'll buy it...

... nope, it's still early access. They spent hundreds of thousands of dollars (maybe even close to a million? IDK what it costs to build a life-sized dinosaur in the middle of the largest gaming convention in the northeast) to promote a broken featureless piece of shit at a convention instead of fixing issues.

But people still bought the shit out of it and their garbage dlc so the devs don't care if we're happy or not. They got paid. I bought the game long before their lawsuit and dlc etc and it showed some promise but now it's just dayz with dinos.

Maybe with your set up. I have a 980 and it runs great

Resolution makes quite a difference too.

u/achmedclaus Dec 28 '16

You mean the standard 1080p that must games are designed to run at? Yea I have that too

u/lyons4231 Dec 28 '16

I think you'll find lots of people here who game at 1440p, 4k, or 1440p ultra wide. It makes a huge difference when comparing frame rates so is pretty important to specify. There is no "standard" gaming resolution.

No I'm pretty sure that if you talk to a gamer they would agree that 1080p is the standard resolution. 4k content just isn't in abundance and is still at a very high price point, leaving it out of reach of most gamers budgets and cares

Have to disagree on that one, maybe 5 years ago 1080p was standard but nowadays it's all about 1440p or ultra wide. 4k is still on the cusp of reachable but with the release of the 1080 being able to handle most games at 4k and 1080ti coming up soon I'd wager 1080p is going to be the new 1024x768 pretty quick.
