Hey folks, I've got a pretty decent gaming PC with a Ryzen 5 4500, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 1TB SSD. However, I'm only getting around 85 FPS while playing Valorant, which seems unusually low to me. Anyone have ideas on what might be going wrong?

First off, what resolution are you running? Sometimes that can make a big difference in FPS if you're playing at a really high setting.
That's strange! If it used to run around 350 FPS consistently, there could be something else affecting performance. Have you updated your drivers recently or checked for any background apps that could be hogging resources?
Yeah, it seems to have dropped significantly without any reason I can pinpoint.
You might want to check which Ryzen 5 model you have. Your GPU should handle Valorant pretty well, but if it's a lower-tier CPU, that might be the bottleneck.
I believe it's the 4500 model, so that might be causing some issues.

I'm not sure about the resolution, I can check and get back to you.
