Avowed System Requirements

Fear not, as while you will need a decent mid-range spec to get the most out of Avowed, you certainly won’t need the best graphics card that money can buy. As for the game itself, you can check out our Avowed review to see how we feel about our time in Eora.
Here are the Avowed system requirements: Take our Avowed system requirements PC benchmark test to answer the question… Can I run Avowed? The Avowed minimum requirements aren’t ridiculously high. The good old Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 is still in the mix, which is a nearly decade-old GPU, based on Nvidia’s Pascal architecture. You’ll also only need a Core i5 or Ryzen 5 CPU from a few years back to cope with the game, with an AMD Ryzen 5 2700 or Intel Core i5 8400 specified.
We expect that the minimum requirements will allow you to play Avowed at 1080p with a 30fps frame rate, with the recommended sitting pretty at 1080p 60fps (or a higher resolution),. Even the budget-friendly Intel Arc 580 is included in the minimum specs.
Meanwhile, the Avowed recommended requirements seriously up their game, with an AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT or Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 required, presumably so that you can enable ray tracing, which is supported by the game. These GPUs were near the top-end of the AMD and Nvidia lineups a few years ago, so it looks as though Avowed needs a beefy last-gen GPU to enable ray tracing, even if it doesn’t require a current-gen graphics card.
Finally, the Avowed download size is 75GB, and while it pains us to say it, this isn’t so bad. However, Xbox Wire does specify that you will need an SSD for this game. This is par for the course now, as solid-state storage allows for games to load all that data far faster than a mechanical hard drive. It doesn’t say whether it needs to be an NVMe drive or not, but it’s a safer bet to grab the best gaming SSD that you can afford.
We also have no real indication of how the game runs on the Steam Deck but it does currently hold a Playable rating. We suspect this is running respectably at a low preset and at 1,280 x 800. AMD FSR 3 is present, which certainly aids Steam Deck performance, while Nvidia DLSS 3 is also included for Nvidia GPU owners.
