Valorant Graphics Settings:

Display Mode: The options are Fullscreen, Windowed Fullscreen and Windowed.
Resolution: Sets your monitor’s resolution and refresh rate, measured in Hz. It’s best to stick to a 16:9 aspect ratio and to choose your monitor’s refresh rate.
Monitor: Only change this setting if your preferred gaming monitor isn’t displayed, such as when running a dual-display setup.
Aspect Ratio Mode is only adjustable when selecting a resolution setting that doesn’t match your monitor’s aspect ratio. Selecting Letterbox will display the game’s full width on select aspect ratios by adding black bars on the top and bottom.
Limit FPS on Battery: Limits your FPS when your gaming laptop is on battery.
Max FPS on Battery: Works in combination with Limit FPS on Battery if turned On to set the max FPS in these scenarios. This setting is not applicable when Limit FPS on Battery is Off, which will result in unlimited FPS on battery.
Limit FPS in Background: Limits your FPS in the background.
Max FPS in Background: Works in combination with Limit FPS in Background if turned On. This setting is not applicable when Limit FPS in Background is Off, which will result in unlimited FPS in the background.
Limit FPS Always: Limits your FPS in the game. This can be an important graphics setting for low-end gaming PCs.
Max FPS always: Works in combination with Limit FPS Always if turned on. This setting is not applicable when Limit FPS Always is Off, which will result in unlimited FPS in the game.
NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency: NVIDIA claims its Reflex Low Latency can reduce gaming latency by up to 80%, which can help fire off shots faster. The better your gaming PC, the more likely you should select On + Boost.
Multithreaded Rendering: An important Valorant graphics setting that should be enabled as it improves performance on multi-core CPUs.
Material Quality: This adds environmental details and noise to various objects such as making walls more reflective, recon darts brighter, and smokes denser-looking.
Texture Quality: Textures are often defined as skins on objects in-game. Increasing this setting will make objects look less blurry and sharper.
Detail Quality: It affects the details of objects in your game, For example, turning it up can make bricks look much more complex with more lines and curves or a wooden box look much more realistic by increasing the meshes and adding finer objects to it.
UI quality: It changes the quality and brightness of the HUD in the game such as a minimap, weapon overlay, buys menu, etc.
Vignette: It adds a cinematic circle around the edges of the screen.
V-Sync: This setting caps the framerate of the game according to that of your monitor when switched on.
Anti-Aliasing: This setting smoothens out the corners and edges of various objects and textures in-game. It features none, MSAA2x, MSAA 4x, and FXAA settings. The higher the setting, the better the quality.
Anisotropic Filtering: This setting adds more details to objects in the distance. The options are 1x,2x,4x,8x and Anisotropic Filtering 16x.
Improve Clarity: Increases the contrast of objects and increases the clarity of distant textures.
Bloom: It refers to the light glow added around various objects that reflect light to make it look more realistic. It features On and Off options.
Distortion: You can only see what this does if you look down a scope.
Cast Shadows: This setting makes shadows appear on your player – that’s all.

One of the all-time best guides for graphic settings I've ever seen. Straight to the point, no bs, easy to follow. Keep it up my man!

[Zaymex]

this video has completely changed my life. With these settings i was able to achieve insane graphics and performance and now im a valorant pro playing in the big league. Im honestly super thankful that i found this video that helped me get my first earnings on valorant. Much Love Shogoz ❤

[winchester]

Propably one of the best guides I watched for valo <3

[psyjinx]

Thanks! I uncapped my FPS from 277 and now I have 800. Huge boost!

[TheSupremeShogun]

Damn wish I found ya sooner. Very good explanations and accurate. Bloom does make gun skins with lights like RGX, glitchpop and Prime look a lot better but if you care about FPS then keep it off. I forgot my settings and this reminded me to turn up filtering to 16x, reflex down to on, I forgot texture quality doesnt effect gun textures and thats done by the filtering and detail off.

[Derek-vjpp]

Yo tank you so much bro it drastically increased my fps and you made so easy to understand what each thing does and an easu follow along great video

[Klomsey]

Is there going to be an updated version of the NVidia control panel? Since there's been some new features added.

[mopedr]

Please do the nvidia control panel next if anything has changed

[Daiisuke]

Great videos ! But in a competitive advantage, I suggest you to turn on the bloom because in the Viper's ultimate you'll see your enemies clearer !

[justarandomguy]

Only video which talks about caping fps effectively, thanks

[GM-fwwm]

the way you present your videos, the edits, and full-proof cuts of what does what, always impressed me and gave me some positive dopamine rush from watching this kind of content, even though I am sitting on rtx 3090; 12900k it's super entertaining.
hope your channel grows where you want it to be

[DarkSoul]

Great resume about all the graphics settings

[saxovansh]

This was the best straight to the point video. Cheers🎉

[sza]

best Nvdia setting for Valorant (Hi-end PC) pls

[Tensa]

Thanks! Took me from a 90-160 fps average to a 110 - 200 average

[kinozoid]

Please answer what should i set my raw input buffer to and tell me what should i set my anisotrophic filtering on a low end pc?

[dizzyoru]

bloom is a lot nicer when you have guns like rgx vandal. makes the lights pop and look better imo. like the red light actually looks red and glows instead of a washed reddish pink

[audible]

Basic, Simple, Awesome. Love the lack of care while caring! Keep it up

[Talisman]

@shogoz Any update to "trash game" Warzone 2 mate? Should I keep vsync on in CONTROL PANEL because of blur busters?
