Hello, my fellow avowed advanced access players and the players that are yet to come. I have only played avowed for about 2.5 hours and really enjoying the game thus far, but one thing stood out like a sore thumb and that's the washed out and colorless color palette scheme in game. For whatever reason, avowed has no HDR 10 support. This mod is a graphical upgrade to make the game truly feel realistic for HDR users like me.

Non-HDR users may not necessarily need this mod but do try it out. The difference for me is like night and day, the default colors looked like stale watercolor plastered on paper whereas this ➔RESHADE➔ transforms it into Picasso level art.

Let's have an amazing, advanced access and future gaming. I look forward to seeing what the gaming community has in store for all his :)

IMPORTANT:

Download ➔ Optimized Tweaks AVD - Reduced Stutter Lower Latency Better Frametimes Improved Performance at Avowed Nexus - Mods and community

It's an absolute must to eliminate latency issues and do make sure to turn on DLSS and Frame Generation for RTX GPU users. Btw I was wrong, capping framerate to 60 FPS greatly affects performance and causes more stuttering specifically for Avowed. Hopefully we get official HDR support and a major patch on day 1 launch.

Then Do This:

• Go to Nvidia control panel and add Avoxed.exe

Then select the following:
• CUDA GPUs - Select "All"
• Low Latency Mode - Select "Ultra"
• Max Frame Rate - Select "60"
• Monitor Technology - Select "G-SYNC Compatible" (If your monitor supports)
• OpenGL Rendering GPU - Select "Your Dedicated GPU"
• Power Management Mode - Select "Prefer Maximum Performance"
• Preferred Refresh Rate - Select "Highest Available"
• Texture Filtering - Anisotropic Sample Optimization - Select "On"
• Texture Filtering - Negative LOD Bias - Select "Clamp"
• Texture Filtering - Quality - Select "High Quality" - (For RTX GPU Users Only)
• Texture Filtering - Trillinear Optimization - Select "On"
• Threaded Optimization - Select "On"
• Triple Buffering - Select "On"
• Vertical Sync - Select "Fast"

Enjoy and also leave V-sync of in game.

UPDATE: Just found out that we cannot promote upcoming mods that will be hidden behind paywalls like Patreon directly on the platform which is perfectly fine. Every content I upload on nexus mods from now on will not promote said mods and will be free as usual. For my other works, please do refer to my YouTube channel as all my links are there. Thanks
