Mastering Avowed's Graphics Settings for Optimal Performance

Avowed boasts stunning visuals, but achieving the best balance between graphical fidelity and performance requires careful PC setting optimization. This guide outlines the ideal settings to maximize your Avowed experience without sacrificing frame rate.

System Requirements Check:

Before adjusting settings, ensure your PC meets Avowed's minimum or recommended specifications. A system between these specs should provide a decent gaming experience. High resolutions and high refresh rates, however, demand a more powerful system.

Minimum: Windows 10/11, AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or Intel i5-8400, 16GB RAM, AMD RX 5700, Nvidia GTX 1070 or Intel Arc A580, DirectX 12, 75GB storage. Recommended: Windows 10/11, AMD Ryzen 5 5600X or Intel i7-10700K, 16GB RAM, AMD RX 6800 XT or Nvidia RTX 3080, DirectX 12, 75GB storage.

Allow the game to generate shaders uninterrupted on the first run for optimal performance.
