Understanding Avowed's System Requirements

Before tweaking 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. Higher resolutions and refresh rates demand a more powerful system. Allow the game to generate shaders uninterrupted on your first run for optimal performance.

These settings significantly impact your experience:

Resolution: Use your monitor's native resolution for optimal sharpness.
Window Mode: "Windowed Fullscreen" allows easy application switching. "Fullscreen Exclusive" minimizes input lag.
Frame Limit: Stabilizes performance; cap it at your monitor's refresh rate or 60 FPS.
VSync: Disable for reduced 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.

These settings control visual detail and performance. Lowering them improves FPS.

View Distance	Affects how far objects render. Higher settings improve detail but lower FPS.
Shadow Quality	A major FPS impact. Lowering this significantly improves performance.
Texture Quality	Determines surface detail. Higher settings require more VRAM.
Shading Quality	Affects lighting depth. Lowering it reduces realism but boosts performance.
Effects Quality	Controls visual effects (fire, magic). Higher settings demand more GPU power.
Foliage Quality	Determines grass and tree density. Lowering improves FPS.
Post Processing Quality	Enhances visuals (bloom, blur). Reducing it 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.
