Valorant is far lighter than Fortnite, so the bottleneck here is almost always the CPU and memory, not the graphics card. Spend your budget on a fast CPU, fast memory and a 240Hz monitor — that is where high frames come from.
Valorant runs well even on the basic tier. Every tier up buys more frames and more stability:
Tell us your monitor — if it is 60Hz, we will honestly say your money is better spent on the screen than on the PC.
Plenty. Even the basic tier gives high frames at 1080p, and from the Gamer tier up we talk about 240FPS and more with a matching monitor.
No. That is a common mistake. Better to invest in the CPU and a 240Hz monitor — that is where you feel the difference.
144Hz feels smooth, 240Hz feels instant. For a competitive player it shows in aiming and tracking.
Ping is mostly about your connection and the distance to the server. A wired connection instead of Wi-Fi and a good network card help — we will check it with you if needed.
