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. While a system between minimum and recommended specs offers decent gameplay, high resolutions and refresh rates demand a powerful machine.

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 your first run for optimal performance.
