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
Meeting these specs is crucial for optimal performance. However, a system between minimum and recommended specifications should provide a decent gaming experience. High-resolution displays and high refresh rates will require a more powerful system. Allow the game to generate shaders uninterrupted on your first run for optimal gameplay.
Optimizing Basic Graphics Settings
These settings significantly impact gameplay:
- Resolution: Use your monitor's native resolution for optimal sharpness.
- Window Mode: "Windowed Fullscreen" allows easy app switching without minimizing. "Fullscreen Exclusive" minimizes input lag.
- Frame Limit: Stabilizes 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 view.
- Motion Blur: Disabling creates a clearer image, particularly during fast-paced action.
Advanced Graphics Settings
These settings control visual detail and performance:
| View Distance | Affects how far objects render. Higher settings improve 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. Lowering improves performance at the cost of realism. |
| Effects Quality | Controls visual effects (fire, magic, etc.). 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 impact FPS. |
| Global Illumination Quality | Controls realistic lighting. High settings improve atmosphere but reduce performance. |
