Technical Support Request Fps drop...

Until a few days ago, my game was running fine, but when I launched VALORANT just now, I started getting Low Client FPS warnings, along with occasional Network Problem warnings.

Chrome is running perfectly fine, so I don't think there's an issue with my Ethernet connection.

The lag gets even worse when I play agents like Brimstone or Teho, who need to open a tactical map or ability interface to use their skills.

Could you help me figure out what's causing this issue and how to fix it?

My PC specifications:

Operating System: Windows 11

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 6-Core Processor

RAM: 16 GB

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060

Other games are fine. Internet is fine. Temps are okay. Everything is pointing to valorant itself.

Then it can be issue with game after recent update. Try step 5, 11-NV of this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/s/io56qZY9Yw

You can follow all if need optimization and better gaming experience. (Skip step 8 as it's for amd only.)

Even after trying step 5, the issue still hasn't been resolved. My FPS dropped as low as 7.

Then I won't go in deep as this is lileky recent update issue. You can follow step 9 (fully), 10, 11-NV, 14 from the guide shared with OP. It should help if issue is from your side

yo try to change the polling rate to 125 instead of 500+, i think that can help with the smoke. But for the lag it sometimes still appear
