Hi,

I just recently discovered that the game use 99% of my cpu but only 20-40% of my gpu. Tried lowering everything, doesn’t really change.

The only way to reduce the cpu charge to 70-80% was to limit fps to my monitor (144)

Here’s my config:

I5-7600k 16 Gb ram Rtx 2060 Windows 10 latest update

Is there a way to reduce the load on my cpu and use more of my gpu? Im trying to stream on twitch but it’s really clunky ...

Thanks,

If you are uncapped frame rate, you'll always have either your CPU or GPU at full capacity - whichever is the "weakest link."

High-spec computers are generally CPU bound in VALORANT - that is because we as a game prioritize accessibility over visual fidelity. There's just not as much work to do to render the game, as there is to compute simulation updates.

Your RTX2060 has better benchmark rank, compared to your i5 processor. One way to get a more even load would be to get a better CPU (or a worse GPU xD).

Either way, you have a nice machine! Best, David
