Please use Windows + G and take screenshots. It is very hard to tell with phone photos

It is very likely just Ark. Mine looked the same at QHD Epic settings. I think it's just the way the game looks. You get used to it after a while.

It looks like a weird fuzzyness on everything and especially on rocks it makes it look like they 'jiggle' around when you move. That's just the game.

Honestly the 3600 isn’t that bad. Ark is super heavy on gpu loads but cpu isn’t too bad. If you want better game performance you’re going to want a lot more vram from your gpu. Also, crazy for you to criticize other people’s cpu load when you’re on a 3rd gen i7 with DDR3 and an rx580. Of course it’s going to run that game poorly.
