Ark: Survival Evolved - DirectX12 to bring 20% performance improvement + new patch

The survival game Ark: Survival Evolved received new patches with version numbers 263.0 and 262.0 earlier this week.

There are no major new features this week; the folks at Studio Wildcard have mainly focused on a whole series of bug fixes.

However, these patch notes also provided a glimpse into the near future of Ark: Survival Evolved. In addition to boss fights, DirectX12 support for Windows 10 is expected in the near future, promising up to 20% more performance! There are rumors that this DX12 mode may be ready by the official release of the game on 08/08/2017.

All future outlooks:

  • "Boss wars"
  • More creatures, equipment, armor, weapons & structures!
  • DirectX12 mode for Windows 10! Approximately +20% performance
  • Fix for a random GPU driver crash: Truesky
  • GPU & CPU render optimizations
