In this video, I’m going to show you seven quick steps to boost FPS,
optimize performance and fix FPS drops in Valorant on your Low-End PC.
Hey! What's Up?
I’m Victor and welcome to another video of this channel!
In the first step, you’re going to disable Google Chrome
and Microsoft Store apps from running in background.
First, open Google Chrome.
Now, open the settings by clicking on these three dots
and then selecting “Settings”.
After that, click on “Advanced” and “System”.
And then, uncheck the option “Continue Running Background Apps When Google Chrome is Closed”.
Now, open the Start Menu, search for “Background Apps” and select this option.
And lastly, uncheck the option “Let Apps Run in the Background”.
In the second step, you’re going to modify some options in the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel
if your graphics card is Intel HD Graphics.
So, right-click on the Desktop and then select “Graphics Properties”.
After that, click on “3D”.
In “Application Optimal Mode”, select “Enable”.
And in “General Settings”, select “Performance” and then click on “Apply”.
In the third step, you’re going to set Valorant as a High Priority process.
First, download the file “High Priority Valorant”
by using the link on the description below.
Now, unzip the file to your desktop by using WinRAR.
Right-click on the file “High Priority” and then select “Merge”.
Now, click on “Yes” and “OK” to apply the change.
And if you want to undo this, just merge the file “Default Priority”.
In the fourth step, you’re going to disable the fullscreen optimizations in Valorant.
First, open the File Explorer.
Then, navigate to “Local Disk (C:)”, “Riot Games”, “VALORANT”, “live”, “ShooterGame”,
“Binaries” and “Win64”.
Now, right-click on the file “Valorant-Win64-Shipping” and then select “Properties”.
Navigate to “Compatibility” and check the option “Disable Fullscreen Optimizations”.
And lastly, click on “Apply” and “OK” to save the change.
In the fifth step, you’re going to modify some options in the NVIDIA Control Panel
if you have an NVIDIA graphics card.
So, right-click on the Desktop and then select “NVIDIA Control Panel”.
Now, select the tab “Manage 3D Settings”.
In “Ambient Occlusion”, select “Performance”.
In “Anti-Aliasing - FXAA”, select “Off”.
Now, scroll down until you find “Low Latency Mode” and then select “Ultra” on it.
In “OpenGL rendering GPU”, select your graphics card.
In “Power Management Mode”, select “Prefer Maximum Performance”.
In “Texture Filtering - Anisotropic Sample Optimization”, select “On”.
In “Texture Filtering - Quality”, select “High Performance”.
In “Texture Filtering - Trilinear Optimization”, select “On”.
And then click on “Apply” to save the changes.
In the sixth step, you’re going to enable three options to optimize Windows for gaming.
First, open the Start Menu, search for “Game Mode” and then select “Game Mode Settings”.
Now, make sure this option is enabled, otherwise enable it.
After that, search for “Choose a Power Plan” and select this option.
Then, select the power plan “High Performance”.

Now, scroll down and click on “Graphics Settings”.
After that, click on “Browse”
and then navigate to “Local Disk (C:)”, “Riot Games”, “VALORANT”, “live”,

Now, click on “Options”, select “High Performance” and click on “Save”.
In the seventh step, you’re going to lower the screen resolution in Valorant to “800x600”.
To do that, press “Windows” + “R” on the Desktop.
In the field “Open”, paste this path that I left on the description below and click
on “OK”.
Now, open this folder which has several letters and numbers in its name and then the folder
“Windows”.
After that, right-click on the file “GameUserSettings” and then select “Edit”.
Now, in “ResolutionSizeX” type “800” and in “ResolutionSizeY” type “600”.
And lastly, click on “File” and “Save” to save the changes.
