Issue! Frame rate is dropping and CPU/GPU load is high in Valorant.
i experience unusually low frame rates in valorant. my previous setup was: graphics card – Msi GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Ventus, cpu – Ryzen 1600X (4.5 GHz), motherboard – ASUS Crosshair Vi (WiFi), ram – Corsair Vengeance 16 GB at 3200 MHz. previously i achieved 120–140 fps on 1280x960; quality boosts didn’t help much, and higher resolution didn’t improve things. now i upgraded to Ryzen 5800X3D and ran Trident Z Royals Elite at 3600 MHz. still around 400+ fps. when i checked benchmarks online, others with similar specs got 600+ or more. looking at a video on youtube, someone was running the same hardware at 1080p max and achieving over 600 fps. it seems my issue is specific to valorant. i’ve tried multi-threaded rendering and without it, no noticeable change. quick note: discord valorant uses about 25% cpu and 20% gpu. i’ve used multi-threaded rendering too, but results were similar. update: running midgame with afterburner, gpu temps stayed under 1350, usage was steady at 18% in task manager (3rd patch). recently tried csgo, which is CPU-heavy, and it ran smoothly at 600+ fps. this suggests the problem might be game-specific. i’ve enabled DOCP in bios and haven’t seen much improvement yet. another update: i played a few comp games while monitoring, gpu usage stayed low (8–9%), cpu around 18–20%. reinstalling drivers didn’t help. graphics drivers were uninstalled and reinstalled without fixing the issue. just to confirm my setup after upgrades: gpu – Msi GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Ventus, cpu – Ryzen 7 5800X3D, ram – 32 GB dual channel, trident z royal elites at 3600 MHz.**
