Avowed PC Settings Guide
Avowed runs on Unreal Engine 5 with Lumen global illumination and Nanite virtualized geometry, which means visuals scale beautifully but framerates can swing wildly between open landscapes and dense forest zones. Expect a 20–30% FPS drop the moment you step into a Living Lands canopy area.
On an RTX 4060 / RX 7600, 1080p High with DLSS/FSR Quality lands a stable 60 FPS in most regions. Software Lumen is far cheaper than Hardware Lumen and looks nearly identical — leave Hardware RT off unless you're on RTX 4070 Ti or above.
Settings that matter most
- Lumen mode: Software Lumen for big FPS gains, minimal visual loss
- Foliage quality: Drop to High — Epic is the biggest FPS killer in forests
Scope and assumptions
Uses the shipping Unreal Engine 5 build with shader compilation complete. Recommendations separate traversal stutter from sustained frame rate.
- • 1080p: High with Quality upscaling is comfortable on current mid-range GPUs.
- • 1440p: reduce shadow and global-illumination quality before textures.
- • 4K: upscaling is effectively required on anything below a flagship card.
Troubleshooting checks
- • Let shaders finish compiling before evaluating stutter after an update.
- • Lumen-related settings dominate the cost curve; test them one at a time.
