Reaching Radiant in VALORANT isn't just about mechanics — your PC settings create the foundation your aim is built on. Inconsistent frames and high input latency introduce variables that your muscle memory can't compensate for.
Resolution and Aspect Ratio
Most pro VALORANT players use 1920x1080 at native aspect ratio. VALORANT doesn't benefit from stretched resolutions because hitboxes remain consistent regardless of aspect ratio. If your PC struggles at 1080p, drop to 1280x720 before changing aspect ratio.
Frame Rate Settings
Set your Frame Rate Limit to the Always option and cap it at your monitor's refresh rate. Uncapped FPS causes screen tearing and unnecessary GPU heat. This ensures the smoothest possible frame pacing without tearing.
