ARK: Survival Ascended benchmark on RX 7800 XT: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
ARK: Survival Ascended FPS with a RX 7800 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 72FPS min 57Good | 60FPS min 52Good | 37FPS min 33Acceptable |
| High | 94FPS min 74Good | 77FPS min 67Good | 49FPS min 43Acceptable |
| Medium | 123FPS min 97Excellent | 101FPS min 88Good | 64FPS min 56Good |
| Low | 159FPS min 125Excellent | 131FPS min 114Excellent | 82FPS min 72Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 14% | balanced | GPU 40% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i5-13400 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 7800 XT. There is 22% 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.
FSR 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 RX 7800 XT with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 72 | 90 | 104 | 153 |
| 1440p | 60 | 81 | 99 | 138 |
| 4K | 37 | 54 | 68 | 92 |
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 RX 7800 XT 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 FSR 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.
With that CPU, the RX 7800 XT has headroom to spare in ARK: Survival Ascended: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RX 7800 XT Enough for ARK: Survival Ascended?
The RX 7800 XT delivers 72 FPS at 1080p Ultra in ARK: Survival Ascended. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 60 FPS and at 4K 37 FPS at Ultra quality.
