their are many core 2s more powerful than a first gen i5. and look at each individual core on the cpu if any one of them is above 80% their is a VERY good chance its a cpu bottleneck and the gpu boost wont get nearly close to the max overclock of that card. make sure you start the game on low memory settings. if you would like some comparison here is a rig i build for my freind that runs ark on med to high settings at a constant 30-40 fps
xeon x5677
750ti i overclocked myself
12 gigs ram
1600*900 monitor
win 7 pro
So your telling me the core 2 duo can outperform my 4 core i5? Just look at benchmarks. They will do the talking for me, let alone me doing the testing myself.
I always have it on low settings (as said above) and my GPU is going WAY above the GPU boost limit Nvidia put on the card, so i know there is no bottleneck.
Anyways i found out i was running a VERY old version of the game and it needed updated. Now it runs fairly well on low-medium settings.
Your computer knowledge is about to make me cry, buddy.
here are some benchmarks for you
https://cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-750+%40+2.67GHz&id=772
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core2+Quad+Q9650+%40+3.00GHz
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core2+Quad+Q9550+%40+2.83GHz

http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core2+Extreme+X9650+%40+3.00GHz
and the list goes on and on. you could also get just as much if not more of a oc on these as your cpu. the only differance between your system and mine is a better cpu and a heavily overclocked gpu.

as for the older version last time I checked ark will not let you on a official server without updating and survival of the fittest is a official server. the only reason I suggested overclocking your gpu is so you can see that is not the issue because you are too thick-skulled to believe that a mediocre first gen i5 over 7 years old could possibly be bottlenecking an extremely cpu heavy game like ark. even when another user tried to explain that you refused to listen. However, lucky for you you know everything about this topic this game and all computers ever so I should be asking you how to get my pc to run this game at a playable frame rate.
I enjoy helping people on this forum however I do this for free in my own time and do not appreciate people who ask a question and then refuse any answer from multiple educated users. you are free to express your opinion on a topic and disagree with whomever you like but please try to be more polite to the people who are trying to help you.
