The Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Ivy Bridge iGPU) is a entry-level card with 2GB of VRAM, and Valorant is a lightweight, high-frame-rate esports title. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 15 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 11 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 11 | 15 |
| 1440p | 7 | 9 |
| 4K | 4 | 5 |
At 1080p expect around 15 FPS, at 1440p about 9 FPS, and at 4K roughly 5 FPS with optimized settings. Valorant doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
