For a problem-free and comfortable game, the computer must meet a number of requirements. The higher the PC characteristics, the better the game performance, more FPS (frames/sec).
The developers recommend installing Valorant on Windows 10, in which the game works as consistently as possible without errors or with minimal complaints. On older versions of Windows 7, 8 operating systems, Valorant also works, there are simply many more problems.
Only 64-bit Windows bit is a necessary requirement.
The general requirements relating to the computer, irrespective of the manufacturer and model of the graphics card, processor, include
- RAM (RAM or RAM) capacity - 4 GB;
- video Memory (VRAM) - 1 GB or more.
Valorant's minimum system requirements provide 30-performance, recommended settings are 60, and maximums are 144 frames or more per second.
To provide the described FPS values, the developers on the official website provided system requirements, which are given in the table below.
| Min. (30 FPS) | Average. (60 FPS) | Max. (144+ FPS) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 | Intel i3-4150 | Intel Core i5-4460 3.2 GHz |
| GPU | Intel HD 4000 | Geforce GT 730 | GTX 1050 T |
The values are average and it is impossible to guarantee such indicators for everyone, since the FPS depends not only on the hardware parameters, but also on other factors, for example, on the Windows version and the availability of the latest hardware driver updates.
In practice, requirements may be underestimated and the performance in the game will be less. Therefore, you can only understand what performance the computer will squeeze out in an experimental way. Especially if the PC contains components from other companies. For example, the processor is not Intel, but AMD.
If you have a weak computer, you can do a number of actions with the software, adjust the graphics parameters in the game, and thus increase the FPS.
Over time, requirements may change with updates and game development. As new locations, characters, Valorant optimization works are added, developers will certainly try to "downgrade the game's input" to make the shooter more accessible to gamers. Whether it will be possible to reduce the minimum requirements is a big question. Any improvement to computer games requires improved graphics and other components that directly depend on the power of the computer.
