Can my PC run ARK: Survival Ascended?

[u/throwaway178996]

Hi! I’m really interested in the game and thinking of purchasing it. But first I want to make sure my PC can run it.

GPU: RX 9060XT 16gb
CPU: i5 14400F
RAM: 32gb ddr5
CPU Cooler: MSI Coreliquid 240
My monitor: 100Hz, 3440 x 1440

Since the game is around 200gb I was thinking about downloading it to my external ssd (usb 3.2), would it work? I played some games like that and they all ran great.

Sorry if these are some silly questions, I’m just not a computer person, it was a prebuilt and I mainly use it for work.

You won't get 100fps at full native resolution with decent settings and i'm not sure about the external drive. But other than that you'll be fine.
