ARK: Survival Evolved System Requirements

To run the ARK Survival Evolved system requirements, you will need an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 GPu, an Intel Core i5-2400 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and 60GB of space.

The ARK Survival Evolved minimum requirements require a minimum of 8 GB of RAM, a CPU equivalent to an Intel Core i5-2400, and at least an AMD Radeon HD 7870 graphics card. The developers do not give a recommended hardware setup but just a minimum - if you are going to be running the game in 4K resolution, we'd recommend a graphics card much better than the minimum graphics card that the developers recommend. ARK has an 'Epic' graphics settings mode which is extremely demanding even for the highest-end PCs.
