ARK: Survival Ascended benchmark on RTX 5050: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
ARK: Survival Ascended FPS with a RTX 5050 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 51FPS min 45Acceptable | 35FPS min 31Acceptable | 16FPS min 14Poor |
| High | 66FPS min 58Good | 46FPS min 41Acceptable | 21FPS min 19Poor |
| Medium | 86FPS min 75Good | 60FPS min 53Good | 27FPS min 24Poor |
| Low | 112FPS min 98Good | 78FPS min 69Good | 35FPS min 31Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 19% | GPU 43% | GPU 75% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 5050. There is 13% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
DLSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders ARK: Survival Ascended at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RTX 5050 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 51 | 64 | 74 | 109 |
| 1440p | 35 | 47 | 58 | 80 |
| 4K | 16 | 23 | 30 | 39 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 5050 does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the RTX 5050 is what caps the frame rate in ARK: Survival Ascended. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RTX 5050 Enough for ARK: Survival Ascended?
The RTX 5050 delivers 51 FPS at 1080p Ultra in ARK: Survival Ascended. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 35 FPS and at 4K 16 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
