Since Valorant is a new shooter title, there are myths about the game asking for a lot of system resources to properly run it. But to everyone’s surprise, those misconceptions are clearly wrong.


The minimum requirements for running Valorant on PC

The most impressive thing about Valorant is how well optimized the game is for any system to run it. On Valorant’s official website, the minimum requirements are stated as below:

Minimum requirements

  • CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 or Athlon 200GE
  • RAM: 4 GB
  • OS: Windows 7/8/10 64-bit
  • Graphics unit: Intel HD 4000 or Radeon R5 200
  • Video memory: 1 GB

The above-mentioned requirement is only capable of providing 30 frames per second on the system. However, it is always recommended to have a higher FPS on the system as it plays a crucial role in competitive games.

So, to provide an optimal Valorant experience, the recommended system requirements are as follows:

Recommended requirements

  • CPU: Intel i3-4150 or Ryzen 3 1200
  • RAM: 4 GB
  • OS: Windows 7/8/10 64-bit
  • Graphics unit: Geforce GT 730 or Radeon R7 240
  • Video memory: 1 GB

This system is enough to give a player an average of 60 FPS, which will make the game balanced for the player altogether.

It’s wrong that FPS doesn’t mean much in games, as whoever gets higher frames means they have more information on the screen to work with. So, it is better to play Valorant on the recommended system to have a fair play.
