Maximize Avowed's Stunning Visuals: A PC Settings Guide

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

Understanding System Requirements

Before tweaking settings, ensure your PC meets Avowed's requirements:

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