What Valorant asks of your PC
For Valorant the publisher lists a single figure: 4 GB of memory, for the minimum tier and the recommended one alike. The recommendation runs higher than for Valorant in 22 of the 24 sourced specs, level with it in 1 and lower in 0. The floor runs higher than for Valorant in 21 of the 24 specs and lower in 1.
The source ties no video memory figure for Valorant to any resolution, so none appears here.
The same recommendation appears for League of Legends.

What these figures do not say about Valorant
The numbers come from the publisher. What frame rate Valorant reaches on your machine they do not say: that depends on resolution, detail level and how processor and graphics card work together. The Performance Hub estimates it for Valorant, it does not measure it.
The hardware floor for Valorant
This floor comes out of the frame rate model: it looks for the weakest buyable part in our catalogue that the model still credits with the target rate for Valorant. It is a lower bound, not a buying recommendation, and none of it is measured.
For 60 frames at 1080p the model settles on Intel Arc A380 together with Intel Core i3-12100. For that pair it works out 126 frames.
For 144 frames at 1440p the model settles on NVIDIA RTX 5050 together with Intel Core i3-12100. For that pair it works out 251 frames.

Frequently asked questions
What hardware do I need to play Valorant smoothly?
That depends on the resolution and frame rate you want. In the Performance Hub you enter your processor, graphics card and memory and get an estimated FPS figure for Valorant, a bottleneck analysis and matching upgrade suggestions. All values are model calculations, not measurements on your machine.
How do I find teammates for Valorant?
Through the squad finder: filter open posts by Valorant, region, language and play style, or create one yourself. Your in-game IDs stay hidden until a request has been accepted by both sides.
Where can I see the current meta and patch news for Valorant?
The meta sits in the Meta Tierlist tab on this page, and every entry names its source. We do not keep patch news for Valorant: we would rather write nothing than claim something we cannot back up.
