I'm currently experiencing around 290-300 FPS in Valorant, which seems decent, but I feel it could be better. My hardware setup includes an i5 14400F CPU, an NVIDIA 5060 Ti GPU, and 16GB of DDR5 6000MHz RAM. I've ensured that my CPU isn't bottlenecking, and both CPU and GPU temperatures are within normal limits. In CS2, I get about 240-270 FPS on low settings. I've already checked my system configurations, reinstalled Windows, and tried disabling various features like game modes and game bars. Can anyone provide some insights or suggestions to improve my FPS?

Double-check how your GPU is connected in terms of PCIE lanes. You want it running at x16 for optimal performance.
Also, ensure your RAM actually runs at the advertised speed and isn’t downclocked.
I usually hit over 300 FPS in CS2 with a similar setup (i5 14400 and RTX 5060). Are you sure you're using the latest drivers? Also, check if you’re using resize bars or any specific BIOS settings that could optimize performance.
Your FPS numbers seem pretty typical given your setup, but remember that performance can fluctuate based on the game map and mode.
Also, consider playing in a 4:3 aspect ratio, as that can significantly improve FPS by reducing the resolution rendering required. By the way, what kind of monitor refresh rate are you using?
Is your RAM setup as 1x16GB or 2x8GB? That can affect performance.
If you have 2x8GB, that's great for dual channel, which can boost your performance slightly.
What GPU drivers do you recommend? I’d appreciate any specific settings that might help!
