How to get the best frame rate in VALORANT

The publisher's minimum for VALORANT is Intel HD 4000 with Core 2 Duo E8400, and the recommended hardware is GeForce GT 730. We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.

In our estimates a GeForce GT 730 is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce GTX 645 does the same at 1440p, and a GeForce GTX 1050 at 4K. Cards below that can still play the game, at Medium or Low.

In competitive games frame rate and low latency matter more than looks. Use Low or Medium shadows and effects, keep textures as high as your video memory allows, and aim to stay above your monitor's refresh rate.

Memory and processor

Memory

Minimum 4 GB, recommended 4 GB. 16 GB is the comfortable amount for current games.

Processor

A processor like the Intel Pentium G4560 meets the recommended CPU level. For many fps in fast games, a quick CPU matters as much as the graphics card. Check your pairing.
