Riot Games designed Valorant to run on a wide range of hardware by heavily modifying Unreal Engine 4. The game is intentionally CPU-bound to ensure competitive integrity, prioritizing visual clarity over heavy effects. However, Windows 11 users should note the TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot requirements for the Vanguard anti-cheat, which necessitates relatively modern hardware (Intel 8th Gen / Ryzen 2000 or newer) despite the game's low graphical demands. For those aiming for a stable 360 FPS, high CPU clock speeds and low-latency RAM are key.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the Radeon PRO V710 sets the ceiling at about 135 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 397 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 66% (FPS gap: 262 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon PRO V710 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 23% | GPU Limits CPU 28% | GPU Limits CPU 28% | GPU Limits CPU 40% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 39% | GPU Limits CPU 46% | GPU Limits CPU 46% | GPU Limits CPU 55% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 52% | GPU Limits CPU 58% | GPU Limits CPU 62% | GPU Limits CPU 66% |
We estimate the maximum FPS the processor can sustain and the maximum FPS the graphics card can sustain in each setting, then compare those limits directly.
Limit Factor formula: (stronger - weaker) / stronger. Example: if CPU ceiling is 200 FPS and GPU ceiling is 140 FPS, then GPU limits CPU by 30%.
CPU Limits GPU means the processor ceiling is lower. GPU Limits CPU means the graphics ceiling is lower. Balanced means the FPS ceilings are close enough that the gap is negligible.
A component can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D + Radeon PRO V710 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 16% and 55% and GPU utilization between 8% and 59%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D keeps significant headroom across presets, while Radeon PRO V710 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 25% at 1080p to 27% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 40% to 36%.
Neither component is close to saturation: CPU tops out at 55% and GPU at 59%. This pattern suggests possible engine-side limits, an FPS cap, or workload constraints unrelated to raw hardware throughput. It also shows why low utilization does not automatically mean there is no FPS limiter.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 40% and GPU 25%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 42% and GPU 32%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 36% and GPU 27%. This shows that workload scaling is limited, which can indicate engine-side constraints.
1440p (2K QHD) High is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 45% (39-51%) and GPU 36% (14-59%), which keeps Radeon PRO V710 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 7 7800X3D remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon PRO V710 remain reasonably matched for this title.
Understanding Hardware Utilization: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. They describe hardware load, but they do not directly tell you which component sets the FPS ceiling.
Important: a CPU or GPU can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. Two processors can both show 40% usage and still deliver very different frame rates, depending on per-core speed, cache, engine threading, driver overhead, and frame preparation efficiency.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the Radeon PRO V710 can run Valorant smoothly up to 4k achieving around 135 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 89% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 435% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $2384 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $2000 GPU (Rank #84 Value)). Your Radeon PRO V710 is currently the main performance bottleneck and its market value ($2000) is actually higher than newer, faster alternatives. Trading it or upgrading could yield immediate profit and performance gains. For example, upgrading to the Quadro RTX 4000 (móvel) for around $900 (Rank #11 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance while costing less than your current GPU.
For Valorant, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon PRO V710 is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Valorant does not currently support Frame Generation technologies like DLSS 3 or FSR 3. Your performance is based entirely on native rendering. If the game adds support in a future update, newer GPUs will benefit the most.
Valorant requires at minimum a Core 2 Duo E8400 (CPU) and GeForce GT 730 (GPU) with 4 GB RAM and 23 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i3-4150 and GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with 8 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon PRO V710 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Valorant FPS results are not arbitrary numbers. They come from calculations informed by thousands of real gaming benchmarks, and the typical accuracy range is around 10% to 15%. That makes them far more useful than generic FPS calculators that simply invent values without a benchmark foundation. Actual in-game performance can still vary with drivers, updates, RAM configuration, cooling, and the exact scene being rendered.
Performance estimates are based on synthetic benchmarks and hardware capabilities.
Results may vary based on drivers, OS, and background processes.
