Microsoft has released Obsidian’s latest RPG, Avowed, in Early Access. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, this is one of the few titles that supports DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Gen. As such, I’ve decided to test the game at 8K on Epic Settings and with Ray Tracing.
For these 8K benchmarks, I used an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 32GB of DDR5 at 6000Mhz, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. I also used Windows 10 64-bit, and the GeForce 572.16 driver. Moreover, I’ve disabled the second CCD on my 7950X3D.
Avowed supports DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Gen via the NVIDIA App. This means that you have to close the game, select what kind of Frame Gen you want to use from the app, and then re-launch it. So, without further ado, here are some benchmarks.
At Native 8K, our NVIDIA RTX 5090 was pushing 19-21FPS. Then, with DLSS 4 Performance Mode, we were able to get to the 50s. That’s a very healthy base framerate to use DLSS 4 Frame Gen. So, by using DLSS 4 Performance Mode with Frame Gen, we were able to get over 75FPS at all times. Finally, with DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Gen X4, we went above 130FPS at all times.
What’s shocking here is how good the default Frame Gen (MFG X2) actually is. Although we had 75FPS, the game felt super responsive. Seriously, the game was fully enjoyable at 8K, something that really shocked me. This is a title that greatly benefits from DLSS FG, so make sure to use it.
Sadly, though, Avowed is one of the few games in which I felt the extra latency of DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Gen X4. It’s not unplayable, but it does feel laggier than the default Frame Gen Mode. So, although I was getting over 130FPS, I preferred the default Frame Gen Mode with its lower framerate (which feels way more responsive).
Our PC Performance Analysis for Avowed will go live tomorrow. So, stay tuned for more. Until then, you can enjoy the following 8K video!

fake frames aint real though.
It might not be as simple as what I'm thinking but if the native fps is 21 and the DLSS 4 with FG is 140 then would that mean that about 6 out of 7 frames are fake? If that is how this works then this AI thing is nuts.
He's also using DLSS upscaling set to Performance, which was getting 51 FPS because it was rendering at 4K.
I guess they are starting to wake the fuq up. because when we started pointing this out we got so much backlash in the beginning. Now you are getting all the thumbs up. This is good to see. 2k for a GPU and they still gotta fake it.
LMAO 19 fps at native resolution. JFC….. this "AI" garbage can die in a fire already.
but how does the native performance have anything to do with ai… that's on the developers being sh*t. not so / NVIDIA tech being a part of the discussion. if you don't like it but AMD famalam. or keep seething groomer
nvidia is allowing devs to do garbage they are also to blame
Gayness has never looked so smooth!♥️
…Unlike the main character's buttcheeks, riddled with various STDs.
Including some he picked up from animals.
FPS – Fakes per second 🙂
No one cares about laggy DLFF, so give yourself a break and find something more interesting to write about.
if you cared enough you spend less time making up abbreviations and spend more time buying and talking about AMD and what amazing offerings they have. oh wait.. you just came here to have a cry.. oof
resolution is Fake, Frame are Fake, the whole new generation of Nvidia GPUs is Fake as F#ck, thus our fun playing them is also Fake.
clearly you care enough to comment rather than support AMD
excuse did you see any mention to nvidia or amd? any form of upscaling is fake nvidia or amd , it should be banned
Does this game look way better than Skyrim special edition? FPS are extremely low for what I see on screen.
So what you're saying is it only gets about 40-50 FPS at native 4K?
And 15-20 with AMD.

"Fake frames" is a stupid term. Every video game, movie and anything on a digital screen is "fake". You want real, look out a window.
I don't see the point of the positivism from the article…
are we supposed to be impressed ? We already know that DLSS4 can multiply frame up to 6 times… All game that support it will show up crazy frame per second no doubt.
The point of the article should be: Avowed is so poorly optimized that WITHOUT DLLS framegen it cannot maintain 60FPS on a mid-high PC config @4K quality !
Too bad the game is woke trash and looks like ridiculously oversaturated colorful gay dog vomit just like Dragon Age Fa(g)ilguard.
Saw a reviewer saying that all the leadership positions in the game are exclusively women, and that you have "identity" in the character creator.
Miss me with that bullshit. Either make games that 95% of your target audience want (straight white men that actually have testosterone in their bodies and not liberal cucktard soybois) or f*k off. The NPCs have all been beaten with the ugly stick, especially the women, because why have beautiful women in games made for men when you can have sexually ambiguous tr*nny faggot-looking abominations.
2k for a GPU and they still gotta fake it. Imagine paying for a hooker and the p8ssy is fake. I believe we'd call it something else and not praise the damn thing.
