Frequently Asked Questions

Is Valorant CPU or GPU intensive?

Valorant is primarily CPU-bound. A strong single-threaded CPU like the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X or Intel Core Ultra 5 matters more than the GPU for hitting high frame rates. That said, a decent GPU ensures consistent frames during ability effects.

What FPS do I need for competitive Valorant?

Most competitive Valorant players aim for 240fps or higher to match their 240Hz monitors. The game is well-optimised, so even mid-range hardware can achieve this. A 144Hz monitor and 144fps is a solid starting point for ranked play.

Can a budget PC run Valorant well?

Absolutely. Valorant is designed to run on a wide range of hardware. A Value build with an RTX 3050 can hit 144fps on Low settings, making it one of the most accessible competitive shooters.
