Ark: Survival Evolved: Low fps becaue of UE4 or due to no optimizations?

Great, the UE4 audience manages to label CPU multi-threading in games as irrelevant, because every element in the game only uses GPU. I wasted the last years working on engines

is another thing to try:

Try any other game. For example I just checked AC Unity. Run in windowed mode and have the task manager open next to it.
You will see what I mean. It uses almost 100% cpu power. You can try this with any other big in-house engine game.

UE4 is really lacking multi-threading performance. It is just the way it is.
But then it is for free and you can keep sugar talking it for yourself.
Hardly any indie/hobby/non-professional user using it will ever make a game that will hit a fps wall anyway.

But remember, do not buy a quadcore or higher if you want to use it for UE4. A dual core is enough, and instead, use that money you saved to buy a book about multi-threading

AC Unity probably does some fancy stuff with the Crowd-AI or whatever you want to call it. If I remember correctly there are also some very nice clothing simulations going on. If done correctly I am sure you can set these things up in a way that all the idle time of the CPU is used for those things. But that might not be that useful for the majority of games so a general purpose engine can live without it.
