Best Valorant settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti (laptop, 6GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti (laptop, 6GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Valorant runs at roughly 162 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 162FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti (laptop, 6GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 6GB of VRAM, and Valorant is a lightweight, high-frame-rate esports title. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it flies at 1080p — about 162 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 162 FPS at 1080p and 108 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 FPS at 4K. Valorant doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings below.

CPU-bound: in Valorant, a Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU caps you near 162 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.
UI QualityHighbaseline
HUD and menu rendering quality. Effectively free — leave it High.
DistortionOnbaseline
Heat-haze and smoke-warp effects. Nearly free; pure preference.
VignetteOnbaseline
Darkened screen corners. No real FPS cost; personal taste.
