Valorant FPS Boost Guide 2026 — Get 240+ FPS on Any PC
Valorant is designed to run well even on low-end PCs — but the default settings often leave significant FPS on the table. This guide shows exactly which settings to change to maximize performance, especially on budget Indian gaming setups.
In-Game Settings for Maximum FPS
Open Settings → Video → Graphics Quality and apply these changes:
- Display Mode: Fullscreen (not Windowed/Borderless — these add input lag)
- Resolution: 1920×1080 (or 1280×720 for very low-end PCs)
- Material Quality: Low
- Texture Quality: Low
- Detail Quality: Low
- UI Quality: Low
- Vignette: Off
- VSync: Off (critical — VSync caps FPS and adds latency)
- Anti-Aliasing: None
- Anisotropic Filtering: 1x
- Improve Clarity: Off
- Bloom: Off
- Distortion: Off
- Cast Shadows: Off
- Limit FPS Always: Off (let your GPU run free)

Gaming Internet Plans
Airtel Xstream Fiber / Jio Fiber
150Mbps+ connection ensures ping below 20ms for competitive gaming in India. Essential for BGMI & online multiplayer.
Windows & System Optimizations
Set your Power Plan to High Performance (Control Panel → Power Options). This prevents your CPU from throttling down between rounds. In NVIDIA Control Panel, set "Power management mode" to "Prefer maximum performance" for Valorant's .exe file. For AMD, use Radeon Software's "eSports" performance profile.
Disable Xbox Game Bar (Settings → Gaming → Xbox Game Bar → Off) and disable Game Mode for competitive titles — it can cause stutters on older hardware. Close all background apps: Chrome, Discord video, and OBS consume significant CPU threads.
India Server Tips
Indian Valorant players should select the Mumbai server for lowest ping — typically 10–30ms for most Indian cities. If you see 80–120ms ping on Mumbai, your ISP may be routing traffic suboptimally. Jio Fiber and Airtel Xstream Fiber generally offer the best Valorant ping in India. Try playing between 6 AM–12 PM IST when servers are least loaded.
💡 Pro Tip: Lower your mouse DPI to 400–800 and increase in-game sensitivity to compensate. Pro players use low DPI for more precise micro-adjustments. This reduces CPU load from input processing too.

Expected FPS by Hardware (India Budget Builds)
On an Intel i3-10100F + GTX 1650 (₹25,000 build): expect 120–180 FPS at low settings. An i5-12400F + RTX 3060 (₹55,000 build) will easily hit 300+ FPS. Even a Ryzen 3 3200G (integrated graphics) can hit 60–80 FPS at 720p with all settings on low.
Conclusion
Valorant is one of the most FPS-optimized competitive games available. With the settings in this guide, you can expect a 40–80% FPS improvement over defaults. Low-end Indian gaming PCs can comfortably hit 144 FPS — more than enough for smooth competitive play. Focus on consistent frame pacing over raw FPS numbers for the best gameplay feel.
