How Low Can VALORANT Graphics Get?

Change your resolution and it makes it even worse.

[@ShrimpAbuser]

I have potato pc from 2000s and im actually using the program in the video. Been banned for it over a year ago after I changed part ids and created new acc, havent been banned since then. Getting about 50-70fps

[@BackSoon...]

I think I saw somewhere that you can turn down Valorant's video specific settings even further somewhere in the game files (it's in a config file so I wouldn't think it is bannable). Great video though, I found it super informative.

[@hyphed24]

I get 1500 fps and play on medium in Valorant

[@drag0n466]

The "bloom" setting makes a massive difference with skins like prime or glithpop

[@ice.102]

And turning it off ruins the kay/o agent select animation.

[@Gabak333]

Pro tip: you can also lower the resolution, it helped me a lot to be able to play the game more smoothly, just remember to keep the same proportions and it's fine ❤️

[@urnotjustin]

Thanks for the tip :)

Just a heads up: Turning off multithreaded rendering actually hurts your performance if your CPU have many cores, because the game will no longer makes use of all the cores :)

[@dagadag5599]

[@resteasyfellow]

As someone who always plays with the lowest graphics settings on Valorant seeing you react to things looking different was very strange to me, because I play with it looking like that all the time it just is what the game looks like to me and the high graphics settings just seem like 'enhanced' Valorant. Additionally, I genuinely don't see the huge amount of change you seemed to see, perhaps something small being there is harder to notice than something small being missing when you're used to it, whatever it is this video certainly proves to me that I'm not really sacrificing much for the sake of my pc being able to handle the game! Interesting video as always :) Thanks!

[@urnotjustin]

honestly the crazy thing that i was thinking while filming this was that VALORANT despite maybe not being perfectly optimized, looks pretty great across Low, Medium and High. :)

Guys multithread rendering actually increases ur fps so if you have it turned off, please turn it on!

I LOVE that you talked about how tf2 can change your viewmodels. there have been so many times where my gun will block my sight and I wish I could just say "turn of minimized viewmodels" just like in tf2. There are so many things I love about tf2 because of how much you can customize it and for valorant lacking that it kinda makes me sad.

[@urnotjustin]

Yeah it's funny I have like 2.3k hours on tf2, and some how not very many videos on it. I always played with the lowered weapon setting OR the VR setting just bc of how cool it was, and both were so good for clearing up the screen while maintaining a "im still playing a video game factor"

[@HeartlessHunter604]

@@urnotjustin I've got 3k and still going, valorant might not have as many cheaters but tf2 is 100% a good time. you should make a video on tf2 some time, I'd love to play with you.

[@urnotjustin]

maybe one day, weird feelings about tf2 lol. i love it, but use to really hate it when overwatch came out bc at the time the community was basically abandoned and we all genuinely believed overwatch would be a good game with passionate developers, that was a total lie and like it all went full circle. I factually feel like OW is a top 5 worst games of all time and TF2 is a top 5 best games of all time now that the dust has settled. will always love valorant tho, 3 years and haven't been even close to as disappointed with this as overwatch made me feel

[@HeartlessHunter604]

@@urnotjustin I feel the same, but it's weird. on one side tf2 would be good with fresh content, but overwatch gets new content and... it isn't good. it's hard to say.

FOV is so different and gives a massive advantage as you can see stuff that you shouldn't in the corners of the screen.

[@playboikaniiii]

i play on the lowest graphics but i do have bloom on, it makes enemy outlines easier to see. i also play on 1600x900 resolution instead of 1920x1080, it's a slight fps boost that doesn't make the hud look deformed nor extremely blurry

[@ne0nn3on]

As a CS player: Being able to switch left/right handedness on a keybind and being able to customize the viewmodel of your gun. These are insane quality of life things and the argument of "The devs want to encourage ADSing" is a dumb argument, as ADSing reduces your FOV more than the viewmodel hinders your vision, the gun model being so far out is unnecessary and a hinderance, it should simply be customisable.

[@RenzX403]

you can actually lower it way more by lowering screen quslity thingy like 1920x1020 to 720x560 idk if thats the lowest or it even exists but it makes it worst

[@revenm]

i use 640x480

Great video, like usual Justin, Keep up the good work :D

[@urnotjustin]

:)

[@renoxz4101]

you can lower the 3D resolution of the game by going into LocalAppdata by pressing window key and R and then typing %localappdata% and then going into valorant, usergamesettings and changing all the effects to 0 and the resolution all the way down to 25

btw multithreaded rendreing does not affect visual performance it actually boosts fps for people with multi core cpus

[@3kstra71]

I use 1366x768 on my 1080p laptop screen. It can do 60fps stable in 768p, but I only do 40 as the thermal paste is dry as heck so the GPU goes up to 90c, and opening the laptop to change thermal paste is extremely difficult (Dell E5570 I7-6820HQ and AMD R7 M370)

[@daevsz]

At the end of the day, I’m pretty sure most people buy skins for the shooting sounds. I mean you’re not gonna be looking at your gun while you are in a gunfight. But you will be hearing the satisfying sounds from the skin you picked instead.

[@Kyanite.]

Anisotropic Filtering is why skins look blurry/pixelated, doesn't affect fps either having x4-x16 but there's no difference between the two so I have x4

[@dakshsolanki2848]

Just a tip that this resolution can go even lower by going into game directory, and in user settings file, changing the resolution from 100% to lower, this is not bannable eighter as it is valorant's own settings

[@w1z4rd9]

Lowed it down to 60%. Looks like a blurry Minecraft now but I got used to it in a year. When I try normal graphics it's weird now. Despite with a jittering Intel Onboard Graphics connected to an external monitor and a high average WiFi ping I was able to go Iron2 to Bronze3 with the customized graphic settings because it made a huge difference in stability.

I would never play a competitive FPS on anything but low regardless of PC, except for settings that give extra visual information like shadows etc

[@WarpedSage]

FOV can create many bugs as dicovered in many different games. One being like dbd where you could see over low walls due to the stretched res, since been fixed, but higher fov has always been seen as a disadvantage due to potentially how much u can see compared to others. Also, bugs.

[@ShinySahil]

FOV has been shown to cause issues a lot, like allowing people to see through walls at high fovs, so whole i agree with everything else i think if FOV was implemented someone would find a way to abuse it

[@Si_la]

Even tho i get about 200 stable fps on highest setting I play on lowest settings posible in val because its smoother

[@urnotjustin]

Yeah while i love the hd look, it is equally as good to see the game just flow like that when the settings are low it was very fun lol

I just figured out that hugh saturation and low graphics with antialiasing turned to high look really smooth on almost everything but the prime 2.0 phantom in default variant whitch is sadly the only skin i have on phantom
