Your gpu is old and bottlenecking your cpu.

The GTX1060 was a great mid-range card...four years ago...

But , alas, it is NOT an RTX3080....

You would need to provide your full system specs including PSU for anyone here to be able to help trouble shoot your system. The low hanging fruit would appear to be the now low end 1060 GPU but system memory, storage device, in game graphic settings, and monitor resolution all play a part in what FPS you're getting.

Ever since the 2.5 update, a lot of ppl have been complaining about a drop in fps.

So far, the only thing I've found is that if you are running Asus Suite 3.0, that conflicts with the hack check/cheater software Valorant uses. Only solution to date is to completely (and I do mean completely, not just an uninstall) get rid of Asus Suite.

Regardless of the actual number, it's so far above your monitor resolution that it makes no difference. 300 or 600 or 1000fps isn't going to change anything, either visually or game play.

There's also a recent windows update KB 5001330 and last months update KB 5000842 that have both had reported issues causing fps drops in games. There's a Known Issue fix for it but it's convoluted.
