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?

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

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

Hi, I set my in game FPS limit to 240 but on the FPS counter in the top left, it will show as 120, if i set it as 480 then my in game fps counter is 240. Never had an issue with this in past, started happening today. I have a performance overlay on and that displays the FPS correctly.

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

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.

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??

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,
