Best Avowed settings for the AMD RX 590 (2026)

On a AMD RX 590 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Avowed runs at roughly 61 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 32FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 590 is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Avowed is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 61 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 32 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 61 FPS at 1080p and 53 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 30 FPS at 4K. Avowed offers ray tracing, but the AMD RX 590 isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Avowed at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Avowed (Unreal Engine 5) supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. Practically required - UE5 is demanding.
Ray TracingOffsaves FPS
Switches Lumen to hardware ray tracing for nicer reflections and GI. Heavy - Off is fine for high FPS.
Global Illumination QualityMedium+6% FPS
Lumen bounce lighting - the heaviest setting. High over Epic frees a lot of FPS.
Shadow QualityMedium+5% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick.
Reflection QualityMedium+4% FPS
Reflections on water and shiny surfaces. High is a clean trade.
View DistanceMedium+2% FPS
How far detail renders. Mild pop-in when lowered.
Effects QualityMedium+2% FPS
Spell and combat effects. Lowering smooths flashy fights.
Post ProcessingMedium+2% FPS
Bloom, depth of field and colour grading. High keeps the look cheaply.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS

Shading QualityHighbaseline
Material and lighting shading detail. High is a clean, cheap trade over Epic.
Foliage QualityHighbaseline
Plant and grass density in the colourful world. A real cost outdoors.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
