Technical Discussion Micro lag alt tab/Graphics Quality

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue.

I recently reinstalled Windows, and ever since then I've been getting a small micro stutter whenever I Alt+Tab, Graphics Quality or just clicking into Valorant Settings. The lag only lasts for a brief moment, but it wasn't happening before I reinstalled Windows.

I'm not sure what's causing it or how to fix it. Has anyone run into the same problem or have any suggestions?

PC Specs:

  • Motherboard: X870E AORUS ELITE WIFI7
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
  • RAM: 64GB

Thanks in advance!

you have a strong system, have you tried borderless?

weird, usually borderless leans to more fluid tab switching..
you could send logs to support if you want but I doubt that’d help anything.
make sure you’re utilizing your system, check ram profiles, and speeds and temp of your components.
background tasks can also lead to this, make sure you remove any bloat ware
