Riot Games described Valorant as supporting a “wide variety of PC hardware,” which means that you should be able to get it going even on a weaker PC, though obviously rocking a powerful gaming machine will result in a much higher framerate. Here are the minimum specs for reaching 30fps, the recommended specs to hit a solid 60fps, and the ideal specs to reach 144 fps or higher. You’ll definitely want the latter for a competitive game like Valorant, but you'll also need a 144Hz monitor to make the most of it.
Minimum Specs (30 FPS)
- OS: Windows 7/8/10 64-bit
- CPU: Intel i3-370M
- GPU: Intel HD 3000
- RAM: 4 GB
Recommended Specs (60 FPS)
- OS: Windows 7/8/10 64-bit
- CPU: Intel i3-4150
- GPU: GeForce GT 730
- RAM: 4 GB
High specs (144+ FPS)
- OS: Windows 7/8/10 64-bit
- CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz
- GPU: GTX 1050 Ti
- RAM: 4 GB
Those are the Valorant minimum specs, as well as the recommended and high-end specs that’ll have the game running much more smoothly. Valorant is a generous game that isn’t very demanding at all, so don’t be afraid to hop into the closed beta and give it a try! If you want to compete seriously, you’ll definitely need to aim for at least a solid 60 FPS, as running at 30 will put you at a notable disadvantage against most players.
