To begin optimizing your gaming experience, it's essential to create a system restore point. This allows you to revert any changes if necessary. Open your search bar and type 'create restore point.' Click on the create button and name your restore point, for example, 'Gaming Optimization.' Once created, you can restore your PC to this point if any issues arise during the optimization process.
For Valorant, set your display mode to full screen and adjust the resolution to 1280x720. This reduces the number of pixels your graphics card processes, enhancing FPS. Enable Nvidia Reflex Low Latency if available, and adjust graphics quality settings to low for material, texture, detail, and UI quality. Turn off V-Sync and anti-aliasing, and disable experimental sharpening to further improve performance.
Open Task Manager and navigate to the Details tab. Locate 'Valorant.exe' and 'Valorant Win64 Shipping,' right-click on each, and set their priority to high. This ensures that Valorant receives more CPU resources. Next, go to the Startup tab and disable unnecessary startup applications, keeping only essential services like Vanguard active.
To prevent interruptions during gameplay, turn off all notifications. Search for 'notifications' in your settings and disable them. Additionally, search for 'background apps' and either manually disable each app or toggle the option to prevent any background applications from consuming CPU resources.
Access graphics settings by searching for 'graphics settings' in your search bar. Enable Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling and restart your PC to apply changes. Browse to the Riot Games folder, locate 'Valorant.exe,' and set it to high performance. Repeat this for 'Riot Client Services' to ensure optimal performance.
Change your power plan to high performance by searching for 'choose a power plan.' This setting increases energy consumption but enhances PC performance. In the gaming settings, disable the Xbox Game Bar to free up CPU resources for gaming.
To free up storage space, type 'run' in the search bar, enter '%temp%' and delete unnecessary temporary files. Some files may not be deletable; simply skip those. Additionally, perform a disk cleanup by right-clicking on your Windows drive, selecting properties, and checking all options in the cleanup tab.
Open GeForce Experience to check for graphics card driver updates. If available, download and install them. Next, access the Nvidia Control Panel and navigate to manage 3D settings. Adjust settings such as enabling image scaling, turning off ambient occlusion, and setting power management mode to maximum performance for optimal gaming experience.
In the Nvidia Control Panel, set your preferred refresh rate to the highest available and adjust shader cache size to unlimited. Ensure that texture filtering is set to off to reduce strain on your system. These final adjustments will help maximize your FPS and overall gaming performance.
