Check My PC →What limits performance in VALORANT
Not the graphics card, on most PCs. At frame rates this high, your processor, the game engine or your monitor's refresh rate is more likely to set the ceiling.
Graphics card (GPU)
Not a limit
Even Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics averages about 106 FPS at 1080p.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
VALORANT recommends a Ryzen 3 1200 or equivalent; a Ryzen 5 3600 or anything faster clears that. We have no measured processor limit for VALORANT, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
1 GB (min. spec)
The minimum spec lists 1 GB of video memory, less than any current graphics card has, so it won't limit you.
