Avowed minimum and recommended PC specs, download size, ray-tracing, DLSS 3 and more confirmed

Avowed is set to release in just a couple of months for Xbox and PC and recently, we got an updated PC system requirements for this fantasy RPG from Obsidian Entertainment.

This not Skyrim-like RPG won't be the prettiest game of all time so you won't need top of the line graphics card and processor to wander around the Living Lands but it's still quite the looker thanks to its colourful art style and ray-tracing implementation, which was confirmed by Nvidia a while back.

The minimum specs are quite low, requiring only Ryzen 5 2600 and GTX 1070, both of which are years-old pieces of hardware. Avowed does increase the requirements quite significantly under the Recommended section so you'll need Ryzen 5 5600X and RTX 3080 if you want to crank up the settings closer to high.

Unfortunately, as you'll see below, the specs don't include the target frame rate, resolution or settings, which is a shame since that's always a helpful piece of information for PC gamers.

It's possible that we get comprehensive PC system specs closer to launch but until then, here are the Avowed system requirements we have now.

Avowed looks stunning and has ray-tracing implementation so you'll need a high-end PC to run at max settings

I feel like Obsidian should talk more about the game's performance and graphical options on PC since we only have a confirmation that DLSS 3 and Nvidia Reflex are in the game. It's very likely that AMD FSR and Intel XeSS are added too, along with the standard Unreal Engine 5 anti-aliasing options like TAA.

Some content creators who played the preview build recently have provided comments regarding the game's performance, which wasn't great at max settings with ray-tracing. Apparently, the game had a lot of stuttering, which isn't unusual for an Unreal Engine 5 games these days.
