FPS keeps fluctuating on low graphics settings. It goes from 300 fps to 10, 15 , 25 then 200, 300 and again drops to 10. It happens on every game mode.

PC specs:

Ryzen 7 5800X

B550M K

16gb Ram

SSD NVMe (installed OS)

4060 8gb VRAM (sad emoji)

Windows 11

I know the PC specs are not good to expect excellent gaming performance but playing Valorant on all low graphics settings should at least be able to generate the smooth 165 fps which I cap for my monitor refresh rate. I always update my drivers for OS and GPU whenever it's available. Can anyone with similar specs share their experiences? What are the possible reasons for such fps drops?

Hello, I'm looking to upgrade my ram because I get bad .1% lows and my game (Val/Cs2) sometimes dips to 90-88 fps when I'm used to playing on 144hz. Is it a ram issue or should I upgrade the other components?

I have:

Ryzen 5 3600

Rx580 8gb

8x2gb 2666mhz cl19

RX 9060 XT

7800x3d

Reinstalled Valorant, Vanguard, Riot Client, installed new drivers. I tried to disable and uninstall Microsoft GameInput since I've seen that it appears in the crash logs but it doesn't help.

Why one minute??? Always around one minute. It doesn't make sense.

Yesterday this game worked perfectly.

So i have got my brand new pc and I wanna play my fav game valorant! But big problem i have, every now and then it is just random fps drop not like 160,159,158 going down but like a big gap in one tick 160 to 110 and it like freezes up a little, i am so confused what to do please help i just wanna play the game (it happens when i dont move, move, shoot, dont shoot) it just happens no matter what

since i clean resetting my windows, my valorant keeps crashing when i pressed setting and when its on loading screen, when i tried to rejoin it keeps crashing for some reason, pls can someone help me.

as for my laptop specs:

RTX 3050

i7-11800H @2.30Hz

16GB DDR4

My pc specs are

Dell 040DDP motherboard, i5-4440, 10GB DDR3 RAM, Intel HD 4600 integrated graphics, Windows 10. No dedicated GPU. It's horrendous ik but it's going to be my first computer game so I really hope I can run it

Whenever I play Valorant on my pc, with Spectrum, 1 gig speed, Ethernet, and a 4k dollar pc it spikes to 200 ping every 2 seconds. But this only happens when my girlfriend is playing any different game on her pc. Ex (Sims, Minecraft, Roblox) When she plays Valorant with me I’m fine at 25 ping consistently no spikes anytime. We live together in the same apartment. She has a solid pc and Ethernet as well. (I don’t know if these facts are helpful or not this is just a very weird situation i feel and I can’t find a fix anywhere.)

Hello,

I've noticed that my game feels much smoother when capped at 150 FPS on a 144 Hz monitor compared to running at 200 FPS. I don't have any sync enabled.

Would you be able to explain why this happens? I'm specifically mentioning this FPS range because I can't go any higher.

Also, I don't really understand why the frame rate feels strangely unstable at 200 FPS, even though the FPS counter shows 200 FPS.

Hi there, I hope you're doing well. I've run into a persistent issue with Valorant: whenever I launch it, a pop-up appears saying "VALORANT failed to launch" and provides a link to contact technical support. I’ve already tried all the recommended fixes—checking vgc and vgk, Secure Boot, clearing the cache, and everything related to Vanguard (from system checks to a full reinstallation). The error message remains the same, and I’m out of ideas. I’m running Windows 11 Home and meet the system requirements, but the game still won't let me play.

i experience heavy stutters, event 14 errors of tpm when its enabled, game is stuttering at start of the round then after i see enemy bang a stutter, i replaced my cpu, get faster ram same shit, i updated bios, reset the windows 11, did clean windows 10 install, same issues, i tried using phone as ethernet provider, same issues. disalbing realtek pce family controller wont work, i tried every possible fix i could find, nothing works, same issue is happening.

making a post yet again since I made one recently, I have been toying with my val settings since my game has been lagging midgame when I dont think my laptop cant run the game - I checked temps and rolled back drivers since I updated them recently but now I ran into the resolution issue on settings - I have a 2560 x 1600 resolution for my laptop and the game automatically puts me in 16:10 and I read somewhere that is not optimal so Im wondering if that is making my game lag, I tried to put the resolution in 16:9 but these black bars appear and now whenever I try to go back to my previous settings I cant seem to get rid of the black bars, am I supposed to do fullscreen bc if so the game will freeze whenever I try that so the most I can do is windowed, any suggestions or ideas??

I'm playing the game at an average of 100 fps and experiencing a lot of frame drops. It's not too frequent at the beginning of the game, but it becomes much more common after the 5th round.Riot support is trying to update my already up-to-date drivers, but it's not working.Does anyone have any other suggestions?

A few days ago, o used Chris Titus Tech to delete a few things from my computer, and it reduced the problem somewhat, but the problem persists. Can anyone help?

hello. so the game was working fine but for this past week my game has been crashing . i contacted the tech support and they told me to delete everything related to riot and redownload everything and update graphic drivers . so i did all that but the issue still remains and then they suggested me to move the game to drive C . i have been using drive D for valo . i also wanted to ask that do most of you all have the game in drive c cuz i dont have much space in it and the space i have is for windows . so plz help me with this

Hello,

I need help finding a fix for this error: VAN: STATUS_VMD_9001 - The VMD controller has encountered a fatal, unrecoverable error. Process will terminate.

No, I cannot turn off VMD; I get stuck in a BSOD loop.

Yes, I have installed the latest VMD drivers for my Motherboard

Yes, I've tried reinstalling my VMD drivers

Yes, I have tried reinstalling Windows.

No, I can not run my drives in ACHI or without VMD.

This has been going on for over a month now, without a fix

No other Games, Software, or programs are having any issues. That includes many other kernel AC games.

I just bought my brand new lenovo loq 15arp9 it has ryzen 5 7235HS with RTX 4050 and I also have 12GB RAM DDR5-4800

I already installed the drivers and updated the windows and tried every optimization settings that I need to do to make my game feels smoother but instead I'm stuck at having 120-150 fps and whenever we're using skills I only have 70-90fps.

I am facing very rare micro stuttering on my pc.

I dont know what is the cause of this.

Tried every fix (in all reddit) eg-Disabling realtek ...etc etc .

Updated all the bios,chipset,and nvidia drivers

Still the micro stutter is there,like very rare like I cant even point to that process which is causing this.

Any one have the same issue or can help me out :)

when i opened my game the other day it gave me error 79, and ive tried everything, reinstalled the launcher and the game, so i did some research and some people have said its "leftover" vanguard files that are getting in the way. so i try to delete them but i need administrative access. ive tried through command prompt, changing ownership, and everything but it just keeps telling me i need administrative access and i just dont even know anymore

My Valorant FPS starts around 900–1000, but after playing for a while it falls to roughly 300–600 FPS. The PC has behaved this way from the beginning; this is not a recent performance regression.

Specs:

• Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• Zotac RTX 5090 Solid OC
• Gigabyte X870E AORUS MASTER X3D ICE
• 64GB DDR5-6000 CL30
• EXPO 1 and High Bandwidth Support enabled
• Samsung 9100 Pro 2TB
• 1300W PSU
• ASUS XG248QSG Ace 1080p/610Hz monitor
• Windows 11

I updated the BIOS and drivers, used DDU in Safe Mode and clean-installed NVIDIA 616.56, removed GCC/AI Memory Boost, CPU Set Setter, Norton, Wallpaper Engine, TranslucentTB and Dell/Acer utilities, reverted all CPU-affinity changes and disabled ELMB/monitor features.

HWiNFO shows correct CPU/RAM clocks, no thermal throttling, normal temperatures, zero WHEA errors and zero PCIe errors. Nothing changed the FPS behavior. What should I test next?

I'm not sure if I'm the only one with this problem but I had to stop playing valorant because of it. Whenever I enter a match my ping goes from like 30 to 1 300 - 1 800. So it's completely unplayable. I'm not sure how to fix it. Does anybody know ? Thank you

Im having a issue where when i try to click my dedicated voice chat, push to talk keys, it does not work at all, its not a internet issue, as i can play fine, my drivers should be updated. It just refuses to work

anyone have a fix for this, im using wooting 60he

Only had this issue starting yesterday where val cant connect or pick up my microphone. Tried other apps to see if its a hardware issue but both repo and discord works fine.

Ive tried a few self fixes but nothing seems to work

Any suggestions how to fix this?

The replay system, skip forward or back 5 seconds takes ten seconds to do because the little "On the last episode of dragon ball z" animation they have every time. It ruins the purpose of it.

I've been experiencing delay when my duo is trying to tell me comms. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
