Understanding Avowed's System Requirements

Before adjusting 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. High-resolution, high refresh rate displays, however, demand more powerful hardware. Allow the game to generate shaders uninterrupted during its first run for optimal performance.

These settings significantly impact gameplay:

Resolution: Use your monitor's native resolution for optimal clarity.
Window Mode: "Windowed Fullscreen" allows easy app switching; "Fullscreen Exclusive" minimizes input lag.
Frame Limit: Limit frames to stabilize performance, especially on weaker systems. Match your monitor's refresh rate or use 60 FPS as a good compromise.
VSync: Disable to reduce input lag; enable if you experience screen tearing.
Field of View: Around 90 degrees provides a balanced perspective.
Motion Blur: Disable for clearer visuals, especially during fast movement.

These settings control visual detail and performance. Lowering them improves FPS without drastically impacting visuals.

View Distance	Affects how far objects render. Higher settings increase detail but reduce FPS.
Shadow Quality	A major performance factor. Lowering this significantly improves FPS.
Texture Quality	Determines surface detail. Higher settings require more VRAM.
Shading Quality	Impacts lighting depth. Lower settings reduce realism but boost performance.
Effects Quality	Controls visual effects (fire, magic). Higher settings look better but demand more GPU power.
Foliage Quality	Determines grass and tree density. Lowering improves FPS.
Post Processing Quality	Enhances visuals with effects like bloom and blur. Reducing saves performance.
Reflection Quality	Impacts water and surface reflections. High settings look great but significantly reduce FPS.
Global Illumination Quality	Controls realistic lighting. High settings improve atmosphere but impact performance.
