Author: Aurora Apr 26,2025

*Avowed* is a graphical masterpiece, offering a rich and immersive world. To fully enjoy its stunning visuals without compromising performance, optimizing your PC settings is essential. Here are the best settings for *Avowed* on PC to help you find the balance to enjoy the stunning graphics without sacrificing frame rate.

Understanding Avowed’s System Requirements

Before diving into specific settings, it’s crucial to know if 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
Storage: 75 GB available space

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

Make sure to let the game generate shaders on your first run without interruptions for optimal gameplay.

Optimizing Basic Graphics Settings

Adjusting the basic graphics settings can significantly impact your gaming experience.

Resolution: Set to your monitor’s native resolution for the sharpest visuals.
Window Mode: Choose “Windowed Fullscreen” for easy switching between applications without minimizing the game. Fullscreen Exclusive is another option for minimal input lag.
Frame Limit: Setting a frame limit can stabilize performance. If your system struggles to maintain high FPS, capping it can reduce fluctuations. Generally, match it to your monitor’s refresh rate, but 60 FPS is a good middle ground.
VSync: Turning VSync off can reduce input lag, but if you experience screen tearing, consider enabling it.
Field of View: A setting around 90 degrees offers a balanced view without distorting the image.
Motion Blur: Disabling motion blur can result in a clearer image, especially during fast movements.

Graphics settings impact how detailed the game world looks and how smooth it runs. Lowering certain settings can drastically improve FPS without making the game look bad.

View Distance	Controls how far objects render. Higher settings improve distant details but lower FPS.
Shadow Quality	A major FPS killer. Lowering this significantly improves performance.
Texture Quality	Determines how detailed surfaces appear. Higher settings need more VRAM.
Shading Quality	Affects lighting depth. Lowering it reduces realism but boosts performance.
Effects Quality	Controls visual effects like fire and magic. Higher settings look better but demand more GPU power.
Foliage Quality	Determines how dense grass and trees are. Lowering it improves FPS.
Post Processing Quality	Enhances visuals with effects like bloom and blur. Reducing it saves performance.
Reflection Quality	Impacts water and surface reflections. A high setting looks great but tanks FPS.
Global Illumination Quality	Controls realistic lighting. High settings improve atmosphere but cost performance.

Now, let’s break down what settings work best for different PC builds.
