Thanks for sharing!
My potato pc gets a heart attack everytime I shoot.
Is there any more options coming soon to tweak down to increase my performance?
Yes. The one that I mentioned about bullet holes / hit impacts is coming.
We're thinking about more things to maintain smoother FPS/frametime for all specs when you're in-combat.
I've been running into 60-100 FPS on an RTX 2070, i7 8750H throughout my time in-game, with occasional stutters and 3-10 second freezes. I've double checked it's running on the graphics card, power settings, and all the basic things, but I have no idea why my game's performance is so low. Any in-depth suggestions?
Not sure. I'd try running with process monitor active to see whether your CPU is getting its cores fully utilized. I talked to one player that had similar issues and fixed it with a windows reinstall. A bit drastic, but maybe do some testing first and see how it goes.
what's the coolest thing about this game that no one's asked you about yet
No one asked me for my best highlight clips :(
I know this might a very commonly asked question but still would like to ask. I know the game is meant to be optimized for a wide variety of CPU and GPUs. But both these are barely putting in work for me. My GPU(2080ti) is barely sitting at 10% usage while my CPU(7700k) only pulls about 30-40% of work. Isn't it possible for the better systems to get more frames out of their hardware?
We're working on it! Your GPU is basically doing the max work that it can - we just aren't that demanding on GPU.
Your CPU is likely at 90% util, but only on ONE core. We're thinking about how we can spread the load across more cores, but it's a non-trivial amount of work.
Can you discuss what you folks consider good frametime? Should we be watching both TOTAL FT & GPU FT? Or which is your preference of the two? Thanks for all the hard work and game plays great on my 1060 GTX @ 1440p @ 151 FPS locked 24/7
For a high spec machine, our target is a minimum FPS of 144, which is a frametime ~7ms. I would consider that "good" for a high spec machine.
Since that's a minimum, the average frametime should be much lower, something more like 3-5ms.
My dream is that high spec machines are all running around 2.5ms average, dipping to something like 3-3.5 at most, but that will take time for us to get there.
Every other name is irrelephant
YES
Just wanted to note that the practice map's fps drops really hard if you take the TP to the bomb practice site and look towards the direction of the other side of the tp (from 108+ to 70- on my machine). Haven't played this patch due to vanguard issues with throttlestop so apologies if its already addressed
Nice catch! We've got a bug in for the practice range issue, it's not fixed yet
Mainaning smooth performance ok, but AMD users have 130 fps constant with good rigs and we have drops from 130 to 110 which is not that much in frametime increase you will say but the reality is that it's not playable for high level players.
AMD 2700X + RTX 2080ti
We're actively investigating improving AMD perf, but it's going to take a bit longer. We're slowed down a lot by the whole global pandemic thing
Hey I am gonna disagree with your point because that should not be a priority priority should be fps not ms, because once you go under your monitor's refresh rate you get screen tearing and mouse lag and input lag literally. You guys should focus more on fps not ms. Me personally use to have constant 160-180, now i have under my monitor 144hz and it is a pain in the ass trying to aim with screen tear and mouselag and input lag with 100fps so in terms of pro's and cons what can impact more, ms or the 3 i have stated please at least respond, /u/Koalifier/
also to remind you when you shoot the vandal with lower fps it's slower as there a bunch of videos testing this! and me having 2ms with input lag, screen tear, and mouse lag isn't really helpful during a fight is it
We definitely care a lot about maintaining good FPS! Just clarifying that it's easier to talk about in terms of frametime.
Everything was fine for me up until about 10 minutes ago. Im not tech savvy at all and I understand none of this talk. All I can say and hopefully someone can help me is that
I was playing valorant fine during beta, was playing fine last night in ranked mode, 250+ fps with a brand new RTX 2070 super.
boot up the game a few minutes ago, thought something was wrong because i was alt+tabbing between the game and twitch and valorant was running at 40-50 FPS.
restarted my computer, no msg's from vanguard (i never get any), booted valorant, jumped in game.. 50 fps again.. dont know how to monitor fan speed or anything, i dont ahve any of those programs nor know what they do.. but can someone help me figure out what the issue may be?
is this bc of vangaurd?
That sounds very, very much like the game is running on your integrated GPU instead of on your GPU. Do you have an integrated GPU? You can control in Nvidia Control Panel which applications use Dedicated (2070) vs integrated. Make sure that setting is correct for VALORANT.
Hey Koalifier, I have this bug where lowering my resolution to 720p for example doesn't help my FPS and my GPU usage lowers, is this a known bug?
It probably means you are CPU-bound. Your GPU usage lowers because we weren't using the whole thing at 1080p, so dropping to 720p is even less usage.
I get very high FPS in custom games like 100+ and it feels amazing (wish i get this in real games), but in normal games i get 50-70 then drops to 30-50 more recently. Would that be a CPU or GPU bound issue?
Most likely CPU if you're seeing low FPS in matchmade games (more players = more things to do on CPU)
Hi, a little late but, if I can run league of legends at 60fps, what do you think I can run valorant at?
Depends. 30? You might not meet the minspec
My f**king left hand.
I read somewhere else that they are already planning to implement it but yes- please- sooner rather than later lol.
Testing it today. Can't promise timing yet.
Is that still the case? I got aim punch 30 minutes ago which made me look up how the aim punch actually works. After dying the result was 2 body shots from a bulldog
Possible you took damage from someone else during the exchange? By design it's only on headshot and usually works that way, unless you've found a previously unseen bug.
u/RiotArkem do you know what kind of ping you guys are shooting for, for the Midwest? I'm currently right outside the Chicago area with the best internet money can buy and I average 100 ping in my games of Valorant (LoL is 23-30). I'm using a VPN and the best I can find is Atlanta with 80. Thanks in advance, the game is just unplayable with current connectivity issues for me which really suck, so any advice would be amazing. (all 4 ranked games I had packet loss so that felt good lol, I uninstalled and am waiting to hear back from Riot currently.
I recommend submitting a support ticket because something is wrong here. Unless your MMR is very high (or very low) you should be playing on Chicago servers almost all of the time.
It's a good idea, I've gone ahead and swapped the word "Hacker" for "Cheater". It should be in the next patch. If I get some free time I'll think about better ways to write this screen.
Ironically this screen was meant to be a placeholder but I didn't get the chance to replace it before beta and now that it's out there it's kind of grown on me.
This is a great idea! I’ll bring it up to the team.
Thanks for the video & report - there is a bug with ability animation poses being desynced with client & server (they aren't timed up correctly on the server rewind).
Very similar to this Jett post: https://www.reddit.com/r/VALORANT/comments/gaezjd/comment/fp12c6h
We'll have it fixed soon, thank you! - David
