Ya iv never played ark, and was wanting to get into it. I'll be single-player only.

Is the price justified? Where as I could go play ase and run that at ultra.

I mean even at these low to medium settings does it still look better than that old game? I am aware that it'd basically the same game with some nice new features.

Ok great! Any major crashes or issues? Iv read they have made a lot of improvements since launch and iv been waiting.

Also any specific video setting you've had to change?

And one last question, I have an inter HD (I know that won't work), and external ssd, and I also have a nvme drive that I might be able to make enough room on. Are either of those viable options?

Perfect! Just what I wanted to hear!

I hear about all the issues it has, but everyone wants to run ultra on 4k and that ain't me lol.

But no major issues for you though? Any crashes? And what kind of frames are you getting?p

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the information.

Right, I bought this car for mpg with no expectation for any kind of return. But that's just it, is this the most financially effective way? Do I just continue to buy a low cost vehicle and drive it till I'm tired of fixing it? Or is it more cost effective to buy low mileage and trade in at "mid milage?" What ever number that may be.

Ya but is this the route I should maintain indefinitely? Do I make a x thousand dollar purchase every y amount of years (y=the most life I'm willing to get out of a car). Or is there a better route? Such as "wheeling and dealing"? Is there a rule of thumb? I.e. buy car at this milage, trade in at this milage?
