Tick “Use the following DNS addresses:” and type in:
- Preferred DNS Server: 8.8.8.8
- Alternate DNS server: 8.8.4.4
Save changes by clicking “OK.”

Set Valorant to “High-Priority” on the Task Manager.

Open Task Manager and locate Valorant under programs; set the priority to High.

Lower max FPS in-game.

Configure the following settings to get maximum FPS:

Limit FPS : Off
Display Mode : Fullscreen
Material Quality : Low
Texture Quality : Low
Detail Quality : Low
V-Sync : Off
