It's true what they say—your setup matters. I just got a 500Hz monitor and hope it helps me reach 500fps in Valorant. I’ve heard your PC might be holding you back, so let’s see if we can fix that.
It's true what they said about your setup. I just got a 500Hz monitor and am aiming for 500fps in Valorant. I thought maybe my CPU was holding me back, but the 4070 should be fine.
It's great you're focusing on getting the best performance from your new monitor. Just wanted to confirm you're checking your setup and not missing anything. Your Valorant setup sounds solid, but let's double-check if there are any other factors affecting your frame rate.
It's interesting, I see the same result too. About 350 on average when using low settings.
Keep in mind the games that can do 500fps on current best gaming cpu's are like 5 maybe? Most games are hard engine limited and the ones that can do it are either old or purpose made for it. Valorant could do it but well you'd need a 7800x3d or a tamed 13900/14900k (this is hard to do so I simply recommend a switch to the 7800x3d bonus is that they still have at least 1 generation of cpu to come!). Even then no guarantee. You bought a marketing special big numbers good display basically and are now the proud owner of a niche product of the userbase of like a couple thousand gamers most likely so don't expect too much intentional support Either way if you want to have a 13900k/14900k (same cpu btw) and have it run properly aka UNLOCKED power limit you'll need THE BEST coolers out there. Or just swap to amd and don't give a shit. Keep in mind unlocked that intel chip will consume 300w+ so if your power isn't cheap I recommend you don't get it.
What level of detail are you using? Which graphics card are you connected?
Technically it’s possible but I think you could overdo it with the VRM. I’d suggest keeping the fan at its minimum and be ready to lower clock speeds and voltage to around 5.3 for the cores. The power supply should work as long as you don’t push the CPU beyond a crazy limit like 300W.
Turn off your e cores, boost to 5.5ghz on your current CPU, and consider upgrading to good RAM for further overclocking—this approach can be costly.
