Valorant is an incredibly optimized game, in fact, one of the best optimized games so far. Many gamers prefer playing this on a low-end system, such as those with GPUs like the GTX 1650, 1050 Ti, RTX 3050 (4GB mobile variant), or even integrated GPUs (iGPUs). By default, the game runs at around 100-150 FPS on discrete GPUs such as the 1050 Ti and 1650. With the settings below, you can expect around 200+ on 4GB VRAM GPUs and around 140+ on iGPUs, on almost every map.

A few keynotes to consider:

  • These settings apply to the GPU tier with 4 GB of VRAM. If you are using something above that tier, you can increase the detail and texture options, as you have the VRAM headroom to do so.
  • When the UE5 update is released, these settings may change and may even limit 4GB GPUs. If your FPS decreases, you can adjust to 900p or even 720p to see how it performs.

Verdict

That concludes the recommendations for Valorant and 1080p competitive settings. You can also use these settings for a 4:3 aspect ratio, if you prefer resolutions such as 1024 x 768, but with the stretched mode enabled. Nevertheless, remember to adjust your crosshair size and sensitivity when switching between resolutions.
