Valorant runs on almost anything, so the mistake players make is assuming there's nothing to optimize. The truth is the opposite: because it's so CPU-light and aim-critical, the biggest edge comes from a clean input pipeline and uncapped, stable frames. Higher FPS in Valorant directly lowers input latency and reduces peeker's advantage.
Dial in your in-game settings
- Limit FPS: turn off all FPS caps (Menu, Background, and Always) so the engine runs as fast as your CPU allows.
- Multithreaded Rendering: On. This lets Valorant use more of your CPU cores and is one of the biggest FPS wins.
- NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency: On + Boost. This is the single best latency setting in the game.
- Material, Texture, and Detail Quality: Low. Valorant looks clean on Low and it frees up frames.
- Anti-Aliasing: MSAA 2x or Off if you're chasing max FPS; Vignette, Bloom, Distortion, Cast Shadows: Off.
- V-Sync: Off. It adds latency you'll feel on every peek.
Clean your aim before you blame your sens
- 1
Control Panel > Mouse > Pointer Options, uncheck Enhance Pointer Precision. This removes OS-level acceleration that makes flicks inconsistent.
- 2
In your mouse software set report rate to 1000Hz (or higher if supported) so position updates arrive on time.
- 3
Keep the Windows pointer speed slider at the middle (6/11) so there's no OS-side scaling on top of your in-game sens.
- 4
Settings > General > Raw Input Buffer: On. This pulls mouse data directly from the device buffer and bypasses Windows processing.
- 5
In your mouse software disable smoothing, filtering, and angle snapping so your motion is 1:1.
Those steps get your aim raw and consistent. But mouse software and in-game options can only do so much. Accel and smoothing can still leak in from driver defaults and Windows settings that aren't exposed in any menu, which is the gap our aim tuning closes.
Wegs Aim Pack strips out every hidden layer of acceleration and smoothing across Windows and your input drivers, aligning raw input so your Valorant crosshair goes exactly where you flick. Save sensitivity profiles and switch cleanly between them.

Because Valorant is CPU-bound, your FPS ceiling is set by how much single-thread headroom you leave the game. Close Chrome, kill overlays and startup bloat, and make sure your power plan isn't throttling the CPU. Then go deeper with timer resolution and interrupt tuning so frames stay high through util-heavy rounds.
Wegs Zero Delay Ultra applies timer-resolution and interrupt-affinity tuning with a Valorant latency preset, our deepest input pack for players who want the lowest possible click-to-shot delay. Fully reversible and anti-cheat safe.
