The RTX 4060 Ti is available in two iterations: 8GB and 16 GB. Both of these cards require prudent adjustments; otherwise, the game will be unplayable. The recent UE 5.5 update addressed VRAM usage, allowing 8GB cards to play the game without encountering memory leaks.

That said, dial in these settings and Ark Ascended will look decent, albeit with some compromise to visuals; however, the performance will be spot on.

Note: 1080p is recommended here, simply because UE5 and the current ARK optimization do not perform adequately with these GPUs at anything higher than this. If you insist, you can use high resolutions such as 1440p, but you’ll require upscaling to hit playable framerates. In the process, the image quality will be severely degraded.

A few keynotes to consider:

  • Frame Generation is enabled by default; you can keep on using it. If you do not need it, you can disable it by pressing the Tab key and typing r.FidelityFX.FI.Enabled 0
  • Switching to the DLSS 4 transformer model is highly recommended. The Ragnarok map is lush and diverse, featuring different biomes. The standard CNN model may produce blurry images.
  • Disable Volumetrics to gain approximately 30% more FPS in the game. Type the following commands: r.VolumetricFog 0, r.VolumetricCloud 0, r.Fog 0.

Verdict

That concludes the recommendation for the RTX 4060 Ti and Ark: Ragnarok Ascended. With these settings, the game may not appear as an Unreal 5 masterpiece. Instead, the game will look slightly better than Ark: Survival Evolved, and will be a lot more playable in the process. For example, if you are building large bases or playing with mods, these settings won’t add extra overhead.
