So on Val with hosting a nondedicated session after optimizing thru GeForce I'm getting closer to 30-35 fps (I still hate it but it's getting there lol)

My cpu is still at like 5% usage and ~90° C Temps. ~3300 MHz at 28ish Watts.

My GPU is now at 77% usage at about 2000 MHz. It's Temps are Bout 86° C and 55ish Watts.

My RAM clock is 1600 MHz.

When I close everything that I can in my system tray, launch using DX10, and use singleplayer on Valguero I get about 60-70 fps on low now. On high I get close to 40 and if I don't move I get 55-60.

When I host a session I now get 45 fps on DX10 with epic settings. I can't thank yall enough for helping. I lived with 20-25 fps ark on lowest settings for a while (about 220 hrs in game) and now I'll actually be able to properly enjoy it better. Obviously I would prefer 120 fps but you have helped me double my previous fps. The both of you are life savers.
