This is honestly, hands down, by far, the best video on valorant settings ever made

[@HidekiGus]

That is so true. The way the test is the same and with all the calculations, true masterpiece.

[@shoumeifps]

By the way having texture on medium is important because some textures can’t be shown on low so medium+ is a must for agents like sova where you might find yourself having obscure lineups on specific spots

[@enpowrs]

Example?

[@shoumeifps]

@@enpowrs theres one line up on ascent where u need medium because if you are on low it doesnt show the specific texture needed for the lineup, same goes for other maps

[@mlchael7267]

@Valorant bro There are a lot of lineups that require things changing it to lower would remove, but if you don't play an agent you need lineups for (viper, brim, sova, etc) it doesn't matter

[@ljfdrummer100]

guys keep in mind texture quality mainly consumes VRAM on your gpu, so you should set it accordingly, if your gpu has 4gb of vram, i would recommend low, 6gb? medium, 8gb or more should be set to high since you wont notice any performance difference. This is why there is no performance difference in this test, because the gpu used most likely has more then enough vram for high texture quality.

[@ALBUPerformance]

@@ljfdrummer100 This is correct. All tests are performed without vram or cpu bottlenecks - as the results would be useless otherwise. Everyone should avoid vram bottlenecks at any cost if possible.

[@decuba8189]

One thing I would like to add :) about UI quality, notice Omen's ult and your mini map burns with black flames ? Setting it to high makes it look like a cool black flame ( like Itachi Uhicha's Amaterasu if you know what i mean XD ) while setting it to low makes it look like a solid, a flat-washed grayish back color with no texture of flames. Doesnt really affect the game/fps

This is one of the best videos out there on this, time spent paid off!

[@franklinfisher8419]

So, correction. With improved clarity there is a difference, however it's more noticeable on lower end pc's. It essentially adds a grainy filter or texture to the scene to add more noticeable clarity on lower resolutions. I play on 720p to maximize my fps because I have a lower end PC for the time. And It definitely add's a lot of difference.

[@ALBUPerformance]

There is an update video dedicated to Improve Clarity: kzbin.info/www/bejne/noPQi6uqmpaliLs A lower/higher end PC won't affect the visual difference of Improve Clarity. It's likely the higher contrast-like effect of Improve Clarity is more noticeable on a non-native resolution.

[@salemalali8810]

also look at how clear the fans are

[@pipoveurhoofd9306]

This is by far the best guide on video settings I've ever seen, very clear language and straight to the point. Love it!

[@ShakeITyEA]

8:00 the white fan unit actually seems sharper - the white is more white and the black seems more crisp/ contrasted. I suppose it's a very subtle contrast effect?

[@ALBUPerformance]

You're right. (I added the correction in the description section) Improve Clarity does up the contrast on everything in-game. Depending on your monitor and colors it might be more or less apparent. Also certain nvidia settings or programs such as Flux will override it as well. Overall the difference is quite hard to notice. In summary it's true that there is actually a visual effect but still not worth losing some performance for.

Another consideration is the detail settings effect on smoke particle effects. Having high or medium details gives some smokes (most notably viper wall) much less visibility if seen from the side.

[@cakeu]

By the way, Low UI disables the animated main menu screen. Anisotropic filtering also makes textures viewed at an angle look much better. In your exact example (6:51), you can see between 1x and 16x the tiles on the ground after a certain distance go from completely blurred to much more detailed. It's not very visible in the Training Range but in game it's a huge difference for virtually no drop in FPS

[@ALBUPerformance]

True. I've added corrections like this to the video description. I decided to show the weapons skin instead of the ground because I figured people would care more about the skins they pay for rather then the ground which is much less noticeable. Essentially I wanted to keep the video short. I should've included a scene of each though.

[@IceBr8kr]

Distortion only applies to sniper copes. On the outlier of the scope it warps the vision a bit. It hurts more than it helps in case you see an enemy at the very edge of it so it's better off anyway

[@hasinsaleh8212]

Little correction over Anisotropic filtering section, look at the floor tiles, u'll get the difference. What it does is, it filters the texture over ur game by the distance u actually want to set i.e, 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x. You're welcome..:)

[@ALBUPerformance]

I mentioned it in the video description. I chose to show the effect on the weapon skins since people actually pay money for them and would likely care more about the weapon detail than floor details at long distances. Wish I had included a clip of the floor as well though.

[@koshkamatew]

Texture quality only takes up VRAM, and basically any gpu which can run valorant has enough VRAM for high textures, so just leave them on

[@ALBUPerformance]

High textures can cause two different bottlenecks. Using high texture increases the amount of bandwidth required to stream those textures. In many games using "Ultra" or "Very High" textures can and often does hit a video ram streaming bandwidth bottleneck which can happen before a VRAM usage bottleneck is reached. This is actually quite common. For example in Warzone using an rtx 3080 will not have an fps difference on low/med/high textures but on very high fps will often drop in highly detailed areas. This happens when using less than 9GB vram on such a 10GB 3080. This bandwidth bottleneck scenario is common on old and new new cards in many games when file size textures are used.

[@koshkamatew]

@@ALBUPerformance well, that's facts, but with valorant's case it's not. You can't even call the game graphically intense/high detailed, so it's safe to say the texture resolution doesn't matter as much here

[@ALBUPerformance]

@@koshkamatew I'm actually planning on remaking the Valorant video in more detail since it's been a while. However, I just rewatched my vid and it seems my results were no texture difference for the Texture Quality setting. Basically the setting is disabled. You can confirm this by changing the Texture setting and noticing the VRAM doesn't actually change. I just logged in to verify this is still the case just now, and the VRAM on Ascent didn't change when changing the setting.
