Reach Your Peak in Valorant with 3XS Gaming PCs and Peripherals

While VALORANT is designed to run well on modest hardware, a modern gaming PC with a recent multi-core processor, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX or AMD Radeon graphics card, 16GB of RAM and an SSD will deliver smoother gameplay, faster loading times and plenty of performance for streaming, recording and multitasking.

Minimum Specifications - 30 FPS

Recommended Specifications - 60 FPS

High-End Specifications - 144 FPS

VALORANT is primarily a CPU-intensive game, so your processor has the biggest impact on performance, particularly if you're aiming for high frame rates. A modern multi-core CPU helps deliver smooth, consistent gameplay, while a dedicated graphics card, fast memory and an SSD ensure the rest of your system keeps up.

Pairing your PC with a high refresh rate monitor and responsive peripherals can also improve the overall playing experience.

To improve frame rate consistency and reduce stutter:

• Set all competitive settings to Low or Off.
• Disable V-Sync to reduce input delay.
• Enable Multithreaded Rendering.
• Run in Fullscreen mode, not windowed.
• Keep GPU and chipset drivers updated.
• Close background applications while playing.

These adjustments prioritise responsiveness over visual fidelity.

Input delay can impact aim precision and reaction time. To reduce it:

• Use a wired or high-performance wireless mouse with a 1000Hz polling rate.
• Enable Raw Input Buffer in VALORANT settings.
• Use a high refresh rate monitor, such as 144Hz, 240Hz or 360Hz.
• Turn off mouse acceleration in Windows.

Peripherals directly affect responsiveness even if FPS is high:

• Lightweight gaming mice reduce fatigue and improve aim control.
• Mechanical keyboards with fast actuation switches improve movement timing.
• 240Hz monitors reduce motion blur and improve reaction time.
• Low-friction mouse pads improve tracking consistency.
