About Valorant on PC

Valorant was deliberately built to run on almost anything, which means graphics settings are rarely the story. Nearly every modern system is limited by the CPU, and frame rates in the several hundreds are normal even on modest hardware.

What actually varies between players is frame-time consistency. Background applications, browser tabs and overlays affect this game's smoothness more than any in-game slider, and a stable 240 FPS beats a spiky 400.

Covers ranked matches. The engine is deliberately lightweight, so recommendations focus on latency and frame-time stability.
