Understanding Avowed’s System Requirements

Before adjusting your settings, it's essential to ensure your PC meets the game'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

Ensuring your system aligns with these specs is the first step toward optimal performance. However, there is some flexibility between minimum and recommended specs, allowing you to enjoy the game at decent FPS. For higher resolutions and high refresh rate screens, a more powerful system is necessary.

On your first run, allow the game to generate shaders without interruptions for the best gameplay experience.

Optimizing Basic Graphics Settings

Adjusting the basic graphics settings can significantly enhance your gaming experience:

• Resolution: Set to your monitor’s native resolution for the sharpest visuals.
• Window Mode: Opt for “Windowed Fullscreen” for easy switching between applications without minimizing the game. Alternatively, "Fullscreen Exclusive" can reduce input lag.
• Frame Limit: Setting a frame limit can stabilize performance. If your system struggles to maintain high FPS, capping it at your monitor’s refresh rate, or 60 FPS as a standard, can help.
• VSync: Disable VSync to reduce input lag, but enable it if you experience screen tearing.
• Field of View: A setting around 90 degrees provides a balanced view without distortion.
• Motion Blur: Disabling motion blur can result in clearer images, especially during fast movements.
