Optimal PC Settings for Avowed to Achieve Maximum FPS

by Jack May 13,2025

*Avowed* is a graphical masterpiece that offers a rich and immersive world. To fully appreciate its stunning visuals without sacrificing performance, it's crucial to optimize your PC settings. Here are the best settings for *Avowed* on PC to strike the perfect balance between breathtaking graphics and smooth frame rates.

Understanding Avowed’s System Requirements

Before diving into specific settings, it’s important to ensure 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 flexibility in these specs. A configuration between the 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.

It's essential to let the game generate shaders on your first run without interruptions for the best gameplay experience.

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: Opt for "Windowed Fullscreen" for easy switching between applications without minimizing the game. "Fullscreen Exclusive" is another excellent option if you want to minimize input lag.
Frame Limit: Setting a frame limit can stabilize performance. If your system struggles to maintain high FPS, capping it can reduce fluctuations. Typically, set it to match your monitor’s refresh rate, but 60 FPS is a solid 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.
