I put together my current PC back in September 2023, and as far as I can remember, I never hit the proper FPS margin on valorant with my system compared to literally every benchmark I could find on YouTube with the same specs (the CPU in particular, being that the game is CPU bound). Weirdly enough, when it comes to other games, my system puts out the expected performance with no sweat. I only face this issue with valorant, which is pretty much the main game I enjoy with my friends.
My System:
CPU - Ryzen 5 5600
COOLER - Noctua NH-L9
GPU - Sapphire RX 6600 8GB
RAM - Corsair 32GB 3200Mhz
MB - Gigabyte A520i AC
NVME - Crucial P3 Plus 1TB
SATA - Crucial BX500 1TB
PSU - FlexGuru 500w 80+ Gold
CASE - ZZAW A1 Plus
1080P 165HZ
Looking at my game recordings, I get about a 150–250 fps during heavy gunfights, and 300–500 fps only when there's barely anything going on. Based on the benchmarks I see online, I am not supposed to go anywhere below 300 fps, with an average of about 450–500 fps. I've tried reinstalling the game, reinstalling Windows, and following every optimization guide online to no avail. I also experience big frame stutters every once in a while, which bothers me and affects my experience. Could this just be an issue with my particular processor?
