Best Valorant settings for the AMD RX 9060 XT (16GB) (2026)

On a AMD RX 9060 XT (16GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), Valorant runs at roughly 255 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 255FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 9060 XT (16GB) is a strong 1440p graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and Valorant is a lightweight, high-frame-rate esports title. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it flies at 1440p — about 255 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 255 FPS at 1080p and 255 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 166 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Valorant, so textures can stay maxed. Valorant doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings below.

CPU-bound: in Valorant, a AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU caps you near 255 FPSregardless of graphics settings — lowering them won't raise your frame rate much here.
Recommended settings
Anti-AliasingMSAA 4xbaseline
Valorant runs so fast that MSAA 4x is usually affordable — but dropping to 2x/None is free frames if you ever dip.
Material QualityHighbaseline
Surface shading detail. Tiny cost on modern GPUs — Valorant is almost always CPU-limited.
Detail QualityHighbaseline
World geometry detail. Minimal FPS impact; set to taste.
Cast ShadowsOnbaseline
Dynamic shadows. Off gives a small, consistent FPS bump — popular for high-refresh play.
BloomOnbaseline
Glow around bright lights. Nearly free; pure preference.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Texture sharpness — trivial VRAM use in Valorant. Keep it High.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps long sightlines sharp — effectively free, use 16x.
Improve ClarityOnbaseline
A sharpening filter that makes distant enemies pop. Basically free — most competitive players run it On.
