Ugh, so, I was poking around, you know, the latest buzz on video games—‘cause who doesn’t want to hear the drama, right? And bam! I stumble into this storm about Ark Survival Ascended. Imagine booting it up and bam again—being nudged into using this frame gen thing on AMD Radeon GPUs. Sounds simple? Well, not really. No handy menu switch to just turn it off. It’s like, seriously, who thought this was a good plan?
Now, gotta be honest, Ark Survival Ascended could’ve been the drool-worthy kinda game if not for this hiccup. Folks with AMD GPUs? Yeah, they’re getting hit with performance that feels sluggish as if your game is running through molasses. Lag city, man. But hey, there’s this sneaky way to shut off the frame gen—thank the tech gods. Still, if I spent good cash on these high-end cards, I might just scream into the void a little.
Ark’s journey hasn’t been smooth since its early access splash in October 2023. Someone should have brought better luck charms. Even rejigging with a UE5 engine wasn’t the magic potion. But oh wait, this whole frame gen drama—YouTuber zWORMz Gaming kinda blew the lid on it. He threw the latest patch on an RX 9070, and uh-oh, stutter-fest at 1440p. It’s like, what gives? Seems it wasn’t just bad gameplay. Layered issues stacked like a sandwich nobody ordered.
So, there’s the techy chatter of FPS and input lag, yada yada—27fps without frame gen? Yikes. It sounds like you’re dragging your feet through sand. Picture your game looking snappy but feeling like a loaf of bread—right. AMD’s, like, "Psst, start at 60fps.” But here we are, at the mercy of forced settings. It’s messy, man. And how can you trust those numbers when they’re all cluttered with tech tricks?
Oh, speaking of tech tricks, did you hear? Some games sneakily list specs like, "Sure, 60fps easy-peasy!" But twist—it needs upscaling on turbo mode, and surprise, frame gen too. What’s next, holograms?
Maybe it’s a mistake—or not? Ark’s devs might’ve blinked and just missed it. No biggie if you know the magic spell: open the console and type r.fidelityfx.fi.enabled 0. Boom, frame gen be gone.
