Hi,
Got some flikerring and hard freezes (vidéo and sound cuts) when playing, even in training mode. It happens only with Valorant
I tried all kind off settings, even lowest ones.
How to fix it plz?
Playing in 1440p oled 240hz, 9950x3D, 5080, x870e. Bios, Windows and NVIDIA updated
Thank U
GPU: 5070ti
CPU: ryzen 7 5700x
MOBO: Gigabyte x570 gaming x
Ram: 32gb ddr4 on 3600
playing on windowed fullscreen monitor is 280hz 2560x1440 all setting low multithread rendering on everything off/low nividia relex on + boost on capping my fps at 280 and i can barely maintain 280 and my 1% low is 90-120fps when playing deathmatch
Happened three times to me already, once in the range, once in agent select, and once in custom game. Every single time it says vgk.sys failed which is apparently something for Vanguard. Tried reinstalling vanguard and it still happens
For the past month or two my game has randomly been dropping frames and I think it's getting worse. The Total Frame Time just gets random spikes to hundreds or thousands, I've tried messing with settings turning off everything else and reinstalling Valorant completely. I'm getting to the point where factory reset seems like the only option left. I know it's not the internet cause nothing changed between it not happening and then it happening. There's a slight chance that the issues is with the Ryzen 5 cpu just dying but it's only about 6 years old so I'm hoping it's not that.

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-core

Edit it was also happening when I played on fragpunk
Randomly crashing mid game so I reinstalled vanguard the first time and it happened again and then game as a whole (including riot client) still the same result. Any ideas?
Hi,
I study in Canada but made my account on EU before I went to uni, and continued to play with my friends on the same account even while I was in Canada (with 100 ish ping)
Now that I'm back home in India, I've had very weird ping for all EU servers, with Tokyo as my lowest with 120 ping and Mumbai as my highest with 250+ ping (no I don't have a VPN on). I've tried most basic fixes but they don't work. Anyone got any ideas?
Hey everyone, I’m having a really frustrating issue with Valorant and I can’t figure it out. My specs are: Ryzen 7 7800X3D, RTX 5070 Ti, 32GB RAM, running Windows 11 on an AMD B850 motherboard, with a 2560x1440 180Hz monitor connected via DisplayPort. The problem is that Valorant feels extremely choppy — like it’s running at 60Hz — despite getting 700-1000 FPS in game and my frame time showing a perfect 1.8ms. Everything outside of Valorant feels completely smooth at 180Hz. Here’s everything I’ve already tried: clean GPU driver install using DDU followed by NVIDIA driver 596.36, blocked Windows from auto-installing drivers, installed AMD chipset drivers 8.02.18.557 for the 7800X3D, disabled HAGS, disabled VSync, set power plan to High Performance, disabled Game Mode, set display to Fullscreen, enabled NVIDIA Reflex + Boost, capped FPS to 174, tried both 1440p and 1080p, deleted Valorant config files, fully reinstalled Valorant including leftover files, repaired Valorant through Riot Client, and reinstalled Windows entirely. Nothing has worked. Has anyone with an RTX 5070 Ti experienced this? Could this be a Vanguard or Unreal Engine issue with the new GPU architecture?
so yesterday i was playing valorant just fine with no fps drops at all, it's kinda dumb and crazy cuz the freezing issue with my pc (bricks my entire device, like it's completely frozen, unable to do any task, not even ctrl+alt+del) and this only happened after the update, ong riot why does this happen almost every freakin' update, there would be a bad bug, luckily I didn't go compe or I'm cooked
edit: it's not temp, i checked it, it's normal, idk what could be the cause, im always up to date with my windows and drivers updates
edit 2: as mentioned, it completely freezes my entire device.
So when i launch into the game everything is fine for the first 2 minutes (give it or take) and them after those few minutes of freedom it starts what I like to call stuttering now this stuttering is basically valorant bricking my pc after it has been launched, BOTH WHILE IN THE GAME AND OUT OF THE GAME (once it has been fully exited) what i call bricking is basically when my entire computer just freezes for a few seconds and then coming back like nothing happened and then doing it again and again i've went through
Full Windows Reinstall (95% via partition because i dont have a usb and i dont feel like buying one lmfao)
Factory Reset
Getting a new PSU
Reseating literally EVERYTHING
Uninstall Reinstall
Bios update
Downloading Drivers
Checking RAM
Safe Mode Boot
Hardware GPU BS everyone keeps telling me to disable when I disabled it from the getgo
Now I do have a few speculations as why this happens but cannot fully prove because im not an expert on these sorts of things but I do think its caused by one of these things
Not enough power to my computer (My room simply just doesnt have enough power directed to it to supply every electronic in here)
Parts being "fried" (RAM or my GPU's VRAM which i HIGHLY doubt)
Some kind of CPU problem
Here are my specs if anyone wants to dig deeper than i have
ASRock AMD RYZEN 5 7600X 6-Core Processor (4.70 GHz)
32.0 GB of RAM (31.1 GB usable)
AMD Radeon RX 7800XT (16GB)
(i DONT know what this is but i'll slap it on here anyways: AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics (486MB)
2TB SAMSUNG SSD PRO
B650 EAGLE AX (from GIGABYTE)
Hello,
2-3 days ago I started facing an issue where when I would press "Play" on Valorant it would make my PC crash in 2-3 minutes after loading into the game. My monitor freezes (it doesn't turn black) and my pc stays on and will not shutdown on its own until I forcefully press the power off button.
I have contacted Riot Support, got told to use the Display Driver Uninstaller, which I have and it did not work. I tried uninstalling every last trace of my GPU and it still would not work.
I have also uninstalled Riot & Valorant and Vanguard.
I updated my BIOS, still does not work.
If anyone has faced this issue please let me know, or anything similar. I do not know what else to try.

Plz someone with the same specs or almost same or lower, respond with how much fps and performance u get, or are u able to run the game?
Hey everyone,
I’m currently looking at a new build and the choice is down to the RTX 5070 or the RX 9070 XT.
Most advice I find online is from 2023-2024 saying NVIDIA is the only way to go because of Reflex, but I know AMD has Anti-Lag 2 integrated into the game now.
My questions for the 2026 players:
I'm leaning toward the 9070 XT for the raw FPS value, but I don’t want to sacrifice smoothness in valorant. Would love to hear from anyone who has switched between the two recently!
So I usually play on my main pc with \~200fps and I have no problems.
Recently though I had to go to another country for something so I’m stuck on my laptop.
It can consistently hit \~60fps but has horrible input delay on anything over 30fps and i’m not sure why.
I’d assume at high fps my cpu simply cannot handle the inputs but I don’t for certain that that’s the case.
Any ideas as to why this happens?
Not Really An issue but i was wondering what would be the cause of this game only using 30% or less both on my GPU AND CPU even tho it preforms over 200fps which is more than enough for me i dont get why since i have around 70% left why not it goes for 300 or more fps.
My Rig
I5 10400f
GTX 1650 4GB
Ram 16gb 3200hz (cpu caps it att 2666)
Game on SSD
Edit, My PC is fully optimized for Performance.
is there any way to use true stretch res without having a nvidia graphics card, I've only seen tutorials using that particular nvidia app to set it up, i have intel cpu with IGPU however it is the newest 2025 variant
My valorant is stucked on loading screen for more than a month now. One day I entered the Range spent 20 mins quit valorant after 5 mins I was unable to play valorant. It stucked on loading screen. The loading bar stucked on 10% for like a month now.
(update: turns out the game tries and checks for secure boot constantly even while running windows 10 and not 11, unfortunately in my situation i cant enable it since my gpu is having problems with it, so the only fix is to upgrade my gpu)
the game is stuttering like im running a core 2 duo or sum
Its actually unplayable
(ik my cpu temps are high atm but it was still stuttering like this even when i replaced the thermal paste)
my specs are
r5 240 1gb (ik its shit but it can run the game still)
i7 3770
8gb of ddr3 ram 1600mhz
And i have the game on my ssd

Apparently an update came on May 6 for our gpus.DO NOT DOWNLOAD THAT.Turn off automatic updates on ur pc and download the previous version and u should be good to go.Thank me later.Have fun.
EDIT: Since I wasn't being clear Guys amd released an update on May 6 and after that many AMD users are suffering the same issue (gpu drivers crashing). So go to their website and dowgrade your gpu version i.e. reinstall the older version and u shud be good to go
Once u downgrade windows might update it automatically again to prevent that just turn off windows automatic updates(google it on how to) and then turn off auto updates in amd software.
Don't update ur gpu drivers till a fix comes.
Hi everyone, I've been having a problem since yesterday and it seems like a solution is far from being found. My Valorant freezes my PC and disconnects my GPU, that's right, DISCONNECTS THE GPU. I start the game and it freezes, turning off the monitors seconds later, forcing me to restart the computer. When I restart, I have to reconnect the GPU through Windows Device Manager. Furthermore, the GPU SCREAMS when Valorant is open; it emits a high-pitched hissing sound (I know there are situations where this is normal, but here it indicates a problem) as if it were overloaded, and it's not the fans making the noise. I ran other more demanding games like Silent Hill 2 Remake with everything maxed out and the card was fine; this only happens with Valorant.
Please help me!!

I have an RTX 4090 and an i9-12900k and I get 280 fps, which is good but from a PC like that I'd expect more. I see pro players with similar PC's sometimes even worse CPU's and GPU's getting 400fps+. Am I doing something wrong or?
