Can we view your memory settings on CPU-z? I'd like to see what memory management mode and NUMA configuration your system is using.
Interesting to see how the CPU handles the card's performance limits. My setup is similar, but I notice Valorant mainly uses two cores. My 3900xt likely offers more single-thread power compared to the 6700hq. I’d like to know your CPU frequency and GPU usage during gameplay—like the 70% GPU load in Heaven while the CPU stayed steady around 4.8GHz. TL;DR—CPU speed will play a bigger role in that game.
Perfect, a touch of PBO could bring you close to 4.2 to 4.3 with the right cooling setup. But keep in mind, as you run more apps while gaming, PBO will slow things down because the workload gets heavier. (That’s just how it works). Also, I’d strongly recommend launching the game from your SSD if you haven’t already. Good luck!
