Mastering Avowed's Graphics Settings for Optimal Performance
Avowed boasts stunning visuals, but achieving peak performance requires careful PC setting optimization. This guide helps you balance breathtaking graphics with a smooth frame rate.
Understanding System Requirements
Before adjusting settings, confirm 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 gameplay. Higher resolutions and refresh rates demand more powerful hardware. Allow the game to generate shaders uninterrupted on your first run for optimal results.
Optimizing Basic Graphics Settings
These settings significantly impact gameplay:
- Resolution: Use your monitor's native resolution.
- Window Mode: "Windowed Fullscreen" allows easy app switching. "Fullscreen Exclusive" minimizes input lag.
- Frame Limit: 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 view.
- Motion Blur: Disable for clearer visuals.
Advanced Graphics Settings
These settings control visual detail and performance:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| View Distance | Affects how far objects render; higher settings improve detail but lower FPS. |
| Shadow Quality | Major FPS impact; lowering significantly improves performance. |
| Texture Quality | Detail of surfaces; higher settings require more VRAM. |
| Shading Quality | Lighting depth; lower settings reduce realism but boost performance. |
| Effects Quality | Visual effects (fire, magic); higher settings look better but demand more GPU. |
| Foliage Quality | Grass and tree density; lowering improves FPS. |
| Post Processing Quality | Visual enhancements (bloom, blur); reducing saves performance. |
