Best Avowed settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Avowed runs at roughly 62 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 39FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super is a entry-level graphics card with 6GB 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 62 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 39 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 62 FPS at 1080p and 60 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 37 FPS at 4K. Avowed offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 6GB 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.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	39	62
1440p	23	60
4K	13	37

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

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.

Shadow QualityMedium+5% FPS

Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick.

Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS

Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.

Global Illumination QualityHighbaseline

Lumen bounce lighting - the heaviest setting. High over Epic frees a lot of FPS.

Reflection QualityHighbaseline

Reflections on water and shiny surfaces. High is a clean trade.

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.

View DistanceHighbaseline

How far detail renders. Mild pop-in when lowered.

Effects QualityHighbaseline

Spell and combat effects. Lowering smooths flashy fights.

Post ProcessingHighbaseline

Bloom, depth of field and colour grading. High keeps the look cheaply.

Anti-AliasingHighbaseline

Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
