RAM: 8 GB DDR3

I tried that fix aswel, didnt pay attention to vram though. Download some benchmarks like Heaven or Valley or simply run some other already released singleplayer game which is gpu intensive and you will see that its game related, so no worry.


This is normal. The game is not crazy intensive so on 1080P 700 MB seems like a reasonable amount of VRAM it is using.
Also you may be wrong the GTX 750 Ti as a whole is entry level (poor performance) so if it is giving poor performance it is expected.

If you want to increase the performance of your GPU you can use the Safe GPU Overclocking guide on the bottom right of this reply.
 
ARK is in early access which means not optimized well. Couple things to check while you are running ARK.

1) Is your VSYNC turned off ? (turned on lower max usage)
2) Your resolution ? (higher res more vram usage, same for details. If you have bad FPS and not fully utilized VRAM that is common thing and its poor optimization on their side)
3) Is your CPU on 100% in those moments when you see low GPU usage ? Same about RAM
4) Make sure that vsync/adaptive is turned off in Nvidia panel for global applications.

P.S Also make sure to monitor both VRAM and GPU usage, its important since gpu usage might be on 100% and VRAM low. As I mentioned same thing about CPU.

You have Witcher 3 for example as "casual" example. On maxed out settings its using only 1.8gb vram despite 50-60-70-ish FPS in 1080p. And I have in ARK around 30-40fps on mid-high settings on 4gb vram card so its nothing really weird :)
 


My resolution is 1366x 768 60Hz!

Also i donwloaded a file that fix fps on ARK and the only thing i change was the dynamic lighting so i can see.
