On a NVIDIA MX150 (laptop, 2GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Valorant runs at roughly 40 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 30FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA MX150 (laptop, 2GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Valorant is a lightweight, high-frame-rate esports title. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 40 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 30 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 40 FPS at 1080p and 24 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 14 FPS at 4K. Valorant doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings below.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 30 | 40 |
| 1440p | 18 | 24 |
| 4K | 10 | 14 |
