How VALORANT runs on the GeForce RTX 3080

Our estimate puts the GeForce RTX 3080 at about 300+ 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 300+.

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 300+ fps); 1440p: Ultra (about 300+ fps); 4K: Ultra (about 300+ fps).

Settings advice

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 RTX 3080, so enter yours in the checker above if it is older than that.

For reference, the next card up in our list, the GeForce RTX 5070, is estimated at 300+ fps on High at 1080p, so you have room to raise settings or resolution on the GeForce RTX 3080.
