In some areas, like taverns and tight caves, that could jump to over 100fps. For 1440p, you can even go lower than the recommended specs: I tried a GTX 1060 at this res and, still using Very High settings, averaged 79fps. Amazon haven’t specified but those recommended specs appear to target 60fps I slotted a GTX 1050 Ti into my main test PC, which also has an Intel Core i5-11600K and 16GB of RAM, and at 1080p I almost always stayed above 70fps with Very High settings. GPU (4K) – Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 / AMD Radeon RX 6800Įven 12-year-old graphics card are along for the ride, and any CPU/GPU combination from more recent memory should see Lost Ark sitting comfortably. GPU (1440p) – Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 / AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT.GPU (1080p) – Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 / Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 / AMD Radeon RX 560.I’ll revisit Lost Ark to see how DX11 improves it over DX9. There wasn’t even a working DirectX 11 implementation in the review build I played, though I’ve heard from publishers Amazon Games that DX11 will be available in both the main release and the early access (or “head start”) build that’s launching later today. I tried a few different GPUs in my testing, with a focus on lower-end kit there are no premium features here, like ray tracing or DLSS, that would demand a premium GeForce RTX or Radeon 6000 series card. As ever, though, you can get even better performance out of Lost Ark with some choice graphical adjustments, so keep scrollin’ for a guide to the best seetings to use. In fact, for any halfway modern PC, you can probably just whack on the Very High settings preset and jump straight in. The result: a game that rarely looks outstanding but always runs smoothly, whether it’s on older budget hardware or the best graphics cards and CPUs of today. Committing to the player numbers game of a free-to-play model for its South Korean launch back in 2019, Lost Ark always needed to perform on low-end and luxury PCs alike, and its imminent Western release is following the same rules. There is one upside to Lost Ark having the aged tang of MMOs gone by, even if it’s specific to the visuals rather than the familiar mechanical trappings. Though Amazon, maybe next time let us try out your game at its best, yeah? And, because I’ve been seeing near-identical performance gains from lowering quality as I did in the DX9 build, I’m satisfied that this settings guide still applies. Lost Ark defaults to DX11 in the release build so you shouldn’t need to change it manually change it. The Very High preset, for instance, averaged 87fps on a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and 1080p resolution – on the DX9 review build, it averaged 73fps. Update! I’ve been playing around with Lost Ark’s final release version, and it runs even smoother in DirectX 11 mode than in DX9 the review build I used for initial testing was locked to the latter.
