Estimated average fps by resolution and preset.
Our estimate puts the GeForce GTX 1650 at about 271 fps on High at 1080p in VALORANT, which means it runs comfortably. On Low the same card manages about 300+ fps, and on Ultra about 195.
The graphics card is the limit here, so lowering the resolution or the quality preset is what raises your frame rate.
For a steady 60 fps, our estimate says: 1080p: Ultra (about 195 fps); 1440p: Ultra (about 140 fps); 4K: Ultra (about 78 fps).
VALORANT lists 4 GB of RAM (recommending 4 GB) and a processor of the Core i3-4150 class. Our estimate assumes a processor that does not limit the GeForce GTX 1650, so enter yours in the checker above if it is older than that.
For reference, the next card up in our list, the Radeon RX 580, is estimated at 300+ fps on High at 1080p, so you have room to raise settings or resolution on the GeForce GTX 1650.
Our estimate is about 271 fps on High at 1080p, and about 300+ fps on Low. Verdict: Yes, runs great.
At 1080p, Ultra holds about 195 fps. At 1440p, Ultra holds 60 fps. Even 4K is possible on Ultra.
VALORANT lists 4 GB as its minimum and recommends 4 GB. The graphics card does not change that: with less memory than the minimum the game can stutter or fail to start whatever card you have.
