This video will show you how to make Valorant more vibrant and
colorful so you can see enemies better. To start we will be adjusting the game
settings to make seeing enemies and picking up game information easier.
Open the Valorant settings. Expand the enemy highlight
color option and choose one of the options. This will change what color an enemy is highlighted,
typically you will want to use one of the yellow options.
Move down to the map options. Change the minimap size,
typically you want this to be around one. Adjust the minimap zoom, the lower this is
the more of the maps you will see. We recommend setting the zoom between point eight and one.
Having the minimap zoom set lower will allow you to see where more of your teammates are on
the map. When an enemy is eliminated you will be able to see exactly where they were positioned.
Next you will want to change either the monitor settings or Nvidia graphics settings.If
you don’t have an Nvidia graphics card then feel free to use the video chapters to move
to the screen settings section of the video. If you have an Nvidia graphics card then
either close or minimize Valorant. Right click on the desktop and open
the Nvidia control panel. Open the “Adjust desktop
color settings” page from the side pane. Select the monitor that you use to play Valorant.
Expand the color channel drop menu and set it to all channels.
Start by increasing the digital vibrance, this will make the colors stronger and
easier to differentiate. Typically between 50 and 80 is preferred.
Next you will want to set the gamma between one and one point 10.
You will want to increase the gamma to the point where it’s easier to see enemies in shadows
without over exposing the image. If the gamma is too high then your screen will look foggy,
as if a white film was on your screen. You may like these settings, however,
you can also adjust the brightness to make it easier to see in darker areas around the map.
If your game starts to look flat then you will want to decrease the brightness
or increase contrast to fix the issue. Playing around with the gamma,
brightness and contrast can help you find the perfect settings for your monitor
with slight changes usually resulting in the best visibility in Valorant.
Once you’re happy with your settings press “Apply” to save your changes.
Select “Manage 3D Settings” from the side. Ensure that you have the global settings selected.
Go through and set your settings to match ours, these should give
a slight performance boost to Valorant. You can adjust any settings if you like.
Apply your settings.
Switch to the “Change Resolution” page. Select the monitor that you use for Valorant.
Expand the drop menu and ensure that the highest refresh rate is selected. Typically
this will be 60, 144, 240 or 360. Apply any changes then close.
Valorant will now be more colorful and enemies will be easier to see.
For monitor settings you will want to first find either the vibrance or saturation settings.
These options are different, however, the result is similar.
Increasing either the vibrance or saturation will make the colors more pronounced and brighter.
Typically you will only want to increase these options between 20
and 50 percent of the max value. Next you will want to change the
gamma settings on the monitor. On Zowie monitors you may have black eQualizer instead of gamma.
Increasing the gamma will improve visibility in dark areas.
You will want to increase the gamma by about 10 or 20 percent. If your monitor has stages
instead of levels then you will want to use either the middle stage or one slightly higher.
If the gamma is set too high then the overall game color may look washed out. If this happens
then you will want to decrease the gamma slightly. Alternatively, you can mess with the brightness
and contrast to improve visibility in dark areas. For this you will want to start with
brightness. Once you have the shadow areas to the point you want them your game may look flat.
To fix this you will need to slightly increase the contrast, making sure shadows don’t become
too dark. If they do then you will need to adjust the brightness and contrast as needed.
You will now be able to see enemies better in Valorant.
