Mastering Avowed's Graphics Settings for Optimal Performance

Avowed boasts stunning visuals, but achieving optimal performance requires careful PC setting adjustments. This guide helps you balance breathtaking graphics with a smooth frame rate.

Understanding System Requirements

Before tweaking settings, ensure your PC meets Avowed's minimum or recommended specifications:

Minimum:

  • OS: Windows 10/11
  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or Intel i5-8400
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics: AMD RX 5700, Nvidia GTX 1070, or Intel Arc A580
  • DirectX: Version 12
  • Storage: 75 GB available space

Recommended:

  • OS: Windows 10/11
  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X or Intel i7-10700K
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics: AMD RX 6800 XT or Nvidia RTX 3080
  • DirectX: Version 12
  • Storage: 75 GB available space

A system between these specs should provide a decent gaming experience. High-resolution, high refresh rate displays demand more powerful hardware. Allow the game to generate shaders uninterrupted during its initial run for optimal gameplay.
