FPS matters, especially when you’re playing competitive titles where the difference between winning and losing is minimal. We usually stick to monitor frequencies, but one user has gone further. A Valorant buff runs the game at over 1,200 FPS, but not (mainly) thanks to the graphics card.
It is the graphics card that has to render the game, so we will need a powerful graphics card. But, many other components are involved in the process. RAM memory or M.2 SSDs have gained relevance in the process of rendering a game.
But what does it take to be able to move a game, like Valorant at 1,200 FPS? Obviously, you’re going to need one of the best graphics cards on the market. And believe it or not, that will not be enough, you will need another key component with very specific characteristics.
This is what you need to play Valorant at 1,200 FPS
Twitter content creator @connorjaiye has assembled a custom PC to play Valorant. He usually plays this title competitively with a high FPS rate, looking to have the best possible precision. To get it to run at 1,200 FPS, he has used AMD components.
Specifically, it has been based on a AMD B650 chipset motherboard and one AMD RX 6950 XT graphics card. Surely you are thinking that it is a lot of graphics card for so little motherboard. Namely, what joke processor has mounted on this computer.

He uses his computer AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor, who is the one who puts “the magic”. Thanks to this processor, it has managed to reach the ridiculous number of FPS that we have commented. The great trick is in the cache of this processor, which is stacked. By having a large amount of cache, you can get better performance.
The cache is integrated into the processor and is almost instantly accessible. Access RAM memory it takes a while and negatively impacts performance. Since a large part of the data is in the processor cache, performance is improved.
Thanks to this “trick” he has managed over 900 stable FPS in Valorant with peaks exceeding 1,200 FPS. A number of frames that was impossible to achieve a few years ago and that is difficult to achieve with other processors.
Are so many FPS useful?
See them, you won’t see them because of the frame limit that our eyes can see and interpret our brain, but they are useful. Keep in mind that the more frames, the more images per second and, consequently, the higher the precision.
When we talk about competitive, one frame less or more can decide a loss and, of course, the game. So the higher the number of images per second, the more precision we can get.
Normally, what many professionals do is lower the resolution to 720p to gain more images per second. We are talking about games where graphic quality is totally irrelevant. They are not games that we are going to delight ourselves, they are games where precision prevails. For this reason, the resolution is normally lowered and the graphic quality of the environment is reduced to a minimum to gain extra frames.
For example, in PUBG the graphic quality of the landscape is reduced to a minimum. This reduces the amount of existing grass and you can see enemies if they are prone very easily.
