Best settings for Valorant
The big part of gearing your settings to get the best performance possible is the video settings. This section is what controls the graphical quality of your game. By turning down some of the unnecessary features in the game, you can get a picture that has a much better frames per second rate without sacrificing the visuals you need to play well. These are the best Valorant settings for the video section:
- Resolution – Your monitor’s native resolution.
- Display Mode – Fullscreen
- Limit FPS – Off. This applied to every one of these ‘limit FPS’ options. Of course, you can limit it in the menus if you want too, but if your computer can handle the game at a high FPS then this shouldn’t be a problem.
Graphics
- Material Quality – Low
- Texture Quality – Low
- Detail Quality – Low. Settings these three to low will make the game much easier for your PC to run. This can significantly boost your performance and frame rate from the game.
- Vignette – Off.
- V-Sync – Off. V-Sync is actually quite unhelpful, so turning it off will help your FPS.
- Anti Aliasing – None
- Anisotropic Filtering – 1x
- Improve Clarity – On
- Enhanced Gun Skin Visuals – Off
- Distortion – Off. Distortion is only going to make it harder to see what is happening.
- Shadows – Off. Shadows are really draining on your processing power and add little to the game.
Stats
- Client FPS – Text Only
You can turn on more technical indicators in the stats section too like Ping and GPU frames. However, these aren’t as important for the best Valorant settings as having an on-screen indicator of when your frames per second is dipping. If you’re interested in tracking the rest of your performance, then turn them on.
