Understanding Avowed's System Requirements

Before adjusting settings, ensure your PC meets Avowed's requirements.

Minimum Specifications:

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 Specifications:

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 minimum and recommended specs should provide decent FPS. High-resolution, high refresh rate displays will demand a more powerful system. Allow the game to generate shaders uninterrupted during its first run for optimal performance.

These settings significantly impact your experience:

Resolution: Use your monitor's native resolution for optimal clarity.
Window Mode: "Windowed Fullscreen" allows easy app switching without minimizing. "Fullscreen Exclusive" minimizes input lag.
Frame Limit: Stabilizes performance; match your monitor's refresh rate or use 60 FPS as a good compromise.
VSync: Disable to reduce input lag; enable if you experience screen tearing.
Field of View: Around 90 degrees provides a balanced view.
Motion Blur: Disabling creates a clearer image, particularly during fast movement.

These settings control visual detail and performance. Lowering them can drastically improve FPS without significantly impacting visuals.

View Distance	Affects how far objects render; higher settings improve detail but lower FPS.
Shadow Quality	A major performance factor; lowering this significantly improves FPS.
Texture Quality	Determines surface detail; higher settings require more VRAM.
Shading Quality	Affects lighting depth; lowering reduces realism but boosts performance.
Effects Quality	Controls visual effects (fire, magic); higher settings look better but demand more GPU power.
Foliage Quality	Determines grass and tree density; lowering improves FPS.
Post Processing Quality	Enhances visuals (bloom, blur); reducing saves performance.
Reflection Quality	Impacts water and surface reflections; high settings look great but reduce FPS.
Global Illumination Quality	Controls realistic lighting; high settings improve atmosphere but cost performance.
