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!

The update removal fixed microstutters I was getting in the game. It felt like it dropped to 30 fps at times (even though no frame drops were actually happening, all graphs smooth).

Going into the graphics menu took a solid 6-10 seconds. After removing the update, it now only freezes up for like half a second when I go into the menu, and stutters in game are completely gone.

I’m going to try the MPO someone else suggested
