Obsidian Entertainment is finally taking us back to the magical world of Eora. Avowed promises deep RPG mechanics and gorgeous fantasy landscapes... but beauty comes at a cost. Before pre-ordering, you must ask: can your PC run Avowed? South African gamers know the struggle of balancing high frame rates with ZAR budgets. Let us break down exactly what hardware you need to survive the Living Lands.

What Hardware Do You Actually Need? ✨

To explore this vibrant world without stuttering, your system needs modern muscle. The minimum specs require at least an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or Intel Core i5-8400. You also need an RX 5700 or GTX 1070. However... playing on minimum settings rarely does a fantasy RPG justice.

For a smooth 60 frames per second at 1080p, you will want a beefier setup. You should aim for an RTX 3060 or RX 6600 XT. You also need at least 16GB of RAM to prevent bottlenecking. If your current rig sounds like a jet engine, it is time for an upgrade. You can easily buy graphics cards that handle modern rendering techniques effortlessly.

Building or Buying the Ultimate Fantasy Rig ⚔️

Upgrading a single component is not always the best solution. Sometimes an older CPU bottlenecks your shiny new GPU. If you want to avoid the hassle of building from scratch, a new system is the easiest route. You can explore our best gaming PC deals to find a machine perfectly balanced for heavy RPGs.

Alternatively, if you want something ready to plug and play, our pre-built PC deals offer incredible value. These systems are rigorously tested and optimised. This ensures you get the absolute highest frame rates for your hard-earned Rands.

TIP

Storage Pro Tip 🚀

Avowed requires an SSD to run properly. Do not install massive open-world RPGs on an old mechanical hard drive. An NVMe SSD will drastically reduce load times and stop annoying texture pop-ins while you explore.

Can You Run Avowed on a Laptop?

Absolutely. Mobile hardware has caught up to desktop performance in recent years. If you travel often or prefer gaming from the couch during load shedding, a modern portable rig is brilliant. You just need to ensure it has a dedicated GPU with decent cooling. Browse our massive range of laptops for sale in South Africa to find portable powerhouses that easily meet the recommended specs.

Maximising Your ZAR Budget

Upgrading does not have to drain your bank account. Smart shoppers know exactly how to hunt for the right discounts. Whether you need a simple RAM upgrade or a complete system overhaul, keeping an eye on our daily specials is the best way to stretch your budget. You can easily save thousands of Rands while securing the components needed to make Avowed look breathtaking.
