Here are the best competitive settings for Valorant at 1440p resolution while playing with 8GB or more of VRAM on your GPU.

Valorant runs incredibly well on 8GB GPUs, but to enjoy 1440p, you need significant GPU horsepower as well. For starters, if your GPU’s performance is equal to or above that of an RTX 3060 12GB model, then these settings will yield more than 250 FPS at 1440p. That said, 1440p is GPU-bound, but if you have a GPU in the 4070 Super territory, your CPU should be capable enough, such as the Ryzen 5 5600X or Core i5-12400F level, or else you would still be CPU-bound at 1440p, as these are competitive settings and are tuned for maximum visuals and visibility.

A few keynotes to consider:

  • At 1440p, if you are using an 8GB VRAM GPU, such as the 4060, 5060, or 4060 Ti, or a similar model, you will be well within the 8GB margin. However, if you turn up the settings to the absolute maximum, not only will the FPS drop from 200+ to the 144-level territory, but VRAM may also be maxed out. 
  • The UE5 update will introduce numerous FPS enhancements, so it’s likely that, at these settings or similar options, you’ll even achieve better visuals, as well as improved performance.

Verdict

That concludes the recommendations for Valorant and 1440p competitive settings. If you are using a higher-tier GPU, such as the RTX 4080 Super and its equivalent, it’s safe to say that even with maxed-out settings, you will still get more than 300+ FPS. Assuming your CPU pairing justifies your choices of GPU, such as a 4080 Super with 7800 X3D or similar, then you would surely reach 500+ FPS territory after dialing in these settings.
