ARK: Survival Evolved benchmark on RX 580 8GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
ARK: Survival Evolved FPS with a RX 580 8GB and a Intel Core i5-13400

| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 59% | GPU 74% | GPU 90% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
It makes no difference which processor you have: with the RX 580 8GB in ARK: Survival Evolved the graphics card is always the brake. Swapping CPU would not gain you a single frame — put the money into the card.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders ARK: Survival Evolved 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 580 8GB with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 26 | 33 | 38 |
| 1440p | 16 | 22 | 26 |
| 4K | 6 | 9 | 11 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 580 8GB has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
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 RX 580 8GB is what caps the frame rate in ARK: Survival Evolved. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RX 580 8GB Enough for ARK: Survival Evolved?
The RX 580 8GB delivers 26 FPS at 1080p Ultra in ARK: Survival Evolved. This GPU is not enough for ARK: Survival Evolved at this resolution. We recommend a more powerful GPU.
At 1440p it gets 16 FPS and at 4K 6 FPS at Ultra quality.
