Last updated 2026-09-09 · evergreen reference
Wondering "can my RTX 4070 Super run ARK: Survival Ascended?" Our estimate puts it at roughly 62 FPS at 1080p, 41 FPS at 1440p and 23 FPS at 4K. The settings that tax ARK: Survival Ascended most are draw distance, global illumination and the dinosaur count. FPS figures are editorial estimates from a transparent demand-tier model (TechPowerUp relative-performance indices, retrieved 2026-08-29), not benchmarks. Verify with your own hardware.
Estimated RTX 4070 Super FPS for ARK: Survival Ascended
Frame-rate estimate by resolution. "Estimate" means modeled, not measured.
Bottom line
The RTX 4070 Super clears ARK: Survival Ascended at 1080p with around 62 FPS — a solid 60+ experience. 1440p needs upscaling to stay smooth. Note that ARK: Survival Ascended is CPU-bound at high frame rates, so on a RTX 4070 Super the processor — not the GPU — decides how high your average FPS actually climbs.
RTX 4070 Super FPS by resolution
Modeled ARK: Survival Ascended performance on a RTX 4070 Super (tier 7/9).
| Resolution | Est. FPS | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | 62 | Smooth 60+ FPS |
| 1440p (QHD) | 41 | Playable on low–medium |
| 4K (UHD) | 23 | Struggles — upgrade recommended |
Verdict for the RTX 4070 Super + ARK: Survival Ascended pairing
What to expect and where to aim.
Best target resolution
On a RTX 4070 Super, aim for 1080p (Full HD) in ARK: Survival Ascended. The RTX 4070 Super clears ARK: Survival Ascended at 1080p with around 62 FPS — a solid 60+ experience. 1440p needs upscaling to stay smooth. Note that ARK: Survival Ascended is CPU-bound at high frame rates, so on a RTX 4070 Super the processor — not the GPU — decides how high your average FPS actually climbs.
Settings to hit 60 FPS on your RTX 4070 Super
A starting point tuned to this exact pairing; adjust to taste.
CPU, not your RTX 4070 Super, is the limit
Unlike most titles, ARK: Survival Ascended leans on the processor more than the RTX 4070 Super. At 1080p you can already be CPU-limited, so a faster RTX 4070 Super gives diminishing returns — spend the budget on a stronger CPU or faster RAM. The RTX 4070 Super has more than enough pixel-pushing power for ARK: Survival Ascended.
Bottleneck analysis: RTX 4070 Super + ARK: Survival Ascended
Why this pairing performs the way it does.
What actually bottlenecks ARK: Survival Ascended on a RTX 4070 Super
The limiting factor for this specific pairing is your CPU. ARK: Survival Ascended spends most of its frame budget on the processor (entity counts, physics, draw calls), so the RTX 4070 Super — a high-end card at relative index 68/100 — rarely reaches its own limit. Upgrading the CPU yields more FPS than upgrading the GPU here.
What GPU tier ARK: Survival Ascended needs
For ~60 FPS targets, based on its demand tier.
Recommended GPU tiers
Nearest real GPUs for each target (estimate).
| Target | Approx. GPU tier needed | Example GPU |
|---|---|---|
| 30 FPS @ 1080p (minimum) | index ≈ 33 | GTX 1660 Super |
| 60 FPS @ 1080p (recommended) | index ≈ 66 | RX 7700 XT |
| 60 FPS @ 1440p (high) | index ≈ 100 | RTX 4090 |
How this estimate is calculated
Full transparency on the model.
Method
ARK: Survival Ascended is assigned a hardware-demand tier 7/9 from its published requirements (or release era + genre). Each GPU has a relative-performance index (RTX 4090 = 100, source TechPowerUp). FPS ≈ 60 × (GPU index ÷ required index)^0.85, then scaled ×0.66 for 1440p and ×0.38 for 4K. FPS figures are editorial estimates from a transparent demand-tier model (TechPowerUp relative-performance indices, retrieved 2026-08-29), not benchmarks. Verify with your own hardware.
