What are Valorant system requirements? You won’t need a powerhouse rig to run the free-to-play FPS game, but sticking with minimum specs could come with performance caveats. So, if you’d rather boost fps, harness every frantic frame, and help your Valorant hero reach their true potential, you’ll want to double-check your PC specs.

 

To meet Valorant minimum requirements, you technically don’t need a graphics card at all. Riot says you’ll be able to hit 30fps using an iGPU like the AMD Radeon R5 200, Intel HD 400, or something with 1GB memory. Pair that with at least 4GB VRAM and you’re technically good to go, but performance will feel on par with a PlayStation 3.

Here are the Valorant system requirements:

Minimum
(30fps)
Recommended
(60fps)
High-end
(144+fps)
OS Windows 7 64-bit Windows 10 64-bit Windows 10 64-bit
CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
AMD Athlon 200GE
Intel Core i3 4150
AMD Ryzen 3 1200
Intel Core i5 9400F
AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
GPU AMD Radeon R5 200
Intel HD 4000
Nvidia GeForce GT 730
AMD Radeon R7 240
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
AMD Radeon R7 370
RAM 4GB 4GB 4GB
Storage 20GB 20GB 20GB

Even if you’re looking to make Valorant 60fps gameplay a thing, you won’t need a pricey GPU. The developer says you can hit the frame rate sweet spot using either an Nvidia GeForce GT 730 or AMD Radeon R7 240, and you’ll still only need 1GB VRAM.

That’s not to say you shouldn’t pick up one of our best graphics card picks, however, as you’ll be able to use Nvidia Reflex if you have a GTX 900 series GPU or newer. Using something like the GTX 1050 Ti won’t just help experience Valorant 144fps gameplay, but it’ll also provide you with access to Nvidia Reflex — a GeForce feature that’ll kick hardware-related latency to the curb.

Sadly, Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR upscaling support isn’t a thing. So, If you’re in need of an fps boost, we’d suggest checking out the best Valorant settings to dial in the perfect options to suit your rig.

As for storage, you’ll need at least 20GB to meet Valorant size requirements. Riot doesn’t specify whether using solid-state will make a difference, but picking up the best SSD for gaming will benefit your rig in the long run.
