Valorant

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 form a high-end pairing that shows a clear split in Valorant performance depending on resolution. The recorded data, produced by the benchmark database, covers three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1080p the combo is heavily CPU-limited, pushing hundreds of frames per second; at 2160p it shifts to a GPU-bound workload where the 4090's raw speed still cannot hold triple-digit averages on higher presets. The following sections break down the measured FPS, preset behavior, and hardware roles based strictly on the available dataset.

Resolution Scaling

Valorant develops a steep frame rate falloff as the render resolution climbs. For the High preset, the average drops from 180 FPS at 1920x1080 to 124 FPS at 2560x1440, and further to 73 FPS at 3840x2160. That tight 1080p result indicates that the CPU is the primary frame producer, but by 4K the rendering pipeline of the RTX 4090 appears to carry the full load.

The Low preset provides even higher numbers: 245 FPS at 1080p, 216 FPS at 1440p, and 129 FPS at 2160p. This row is particularly useful because Low reduces GPU shader work significantly, and the FPS at 1080p and 1440p remain above 200, which is hard to attribute to the GPU alone. The implication is that, at these resolutions, the average frame rate is governed by the processor rather than the graphics card.

Medium produces a very tight min‑max range, supporting the stability. At 3840x2160 the Medium preset yields an average of 87 FPS with 74 minimum and 100 maximum; at 2560x1440 it yields an average of 147 FPS with 125 minimum and 169 maximum; at 1920x1080 it returns 216 average FPS with 179 minimum and 242 maximum. These recorded numbers show a balanced distribution pattern.

Shadows of the Ultra preset exaggerate the decay. FPS numbers at Ultra are 137 at 1080p, 94 at 1440p, and 56 at 2160p. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is large: 129 versus 56, which indicates that the GPU’s high-frequency shading pipelines are being saturated by the added effects, not by raw pixel count. In summary, the measured data points to a GPU–bound state only at 2160p on higher presets, while 1080p and 1440p are effectively all.

Settings Recommendations

From the measured rows, a clear pattern emerges: the Medium preset id as the best balance across the three resolutions. At 1920x1080, Medium averages 216 FPS with a min–max of 179 to 242; this is only slightly below the Low preset (245) but High runs at 180 and Ultra plummets to 137. The margin between Medium and High is 36 FPS, and between Ultra and High is 43 FPS, so the medium lightly sits in the sweet spot.

At 2560x1440, Medium provides 147 FPS (min 125, max 169), which is comfortable for a 144 Hz monitor. High gives 124 FPS, just below a guaranteed 120‑Hz line, and Ultra returns 94 FPS. Thus, for a 240 Hz display at 1440p, only the Medium preset is able to sustain at least 125 FPS on average, as the data shows.

For 4K, the situation flips: no preset reaches a 120‑fps average. The Low preset posts the highest 129 FPS, followed by Medium at 87, High at 73, and Ultra at 56. Given these numbers, a player targeting 4K highs size would use the Low. The measured min/max for Medium at 4K (74 to 100) might be enough for fixed 72–90 Hz gameplay, but Low offers a significant average boost. The recommendation is that Medium is ideal for 1080p and 1440p, and Low is the only high‑FPS choice at 2160p; Ultra should be avoided for competitive because it stays below 100 FPS at every resolution.

CPU Role

The CPU side is an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, with 8 cores and 16 threads. Its base clock is 4.50 GHz and boost reaches 5.40 GHz. The cache hierarchy lists 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 16‑MB? cache – actually 32 MB of shared L3. This large L3 helps but is not typically important for Valorant. The 5‑nanometer Raphael architecture communicates via a DDR5 dual channel 4–width bus of 83.2 GB/s.

The data about the CPU itself: "Cinebench R23 multi‑core score 19085? Actually R23 multi‑core 19088" and single‑core 1987. Those scores reflect a high single‑thread capacity, which matters in Valorant. The CPU benchmarks against its nearest rivals, at a delta of 0.3 against the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 and 0.5 against the Intel Core 7 250H, which is a narrow BDF. The CPU’s percentile of all CPUs is 85, meaning it sits in the top 85th percentile. Combined with the GPU’s idle nature at 1080p, the 7700’s 5.40 GHz boost clock is the reason the 245 FPS Low and 216 FPS Medium at 1080p are the highest across the resolution table.

The 3DMark 2‑thread score of 2112, and the 4‑thread score of 4074, show that the 2‑ to 4‑thread compute is very strong; Valorant is typically where the main simulation spans only a few threads. These numbers, along with the actual measured frame output, reinforce that CPU compute is the tertiary. It is the very same CPU that provides the main constraint at 1080, not the GPU.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database, this specific CPU-GPU pair receives an overall rank of 3625 out of 3708 tested combinations. That is a position far down the list. This is because Valorant has been tested with many combinations. The value of such rank on the roster means that in the machine cursor, this pair is not outstanding. However, the measured FPS is still high at typical e scripts resolution. The rank is likely dominated by the pronounced 1ath percentile of all combinations, since other combos can exceed those single-frame scores.

The numbers in the nearest rivals list for the CPU are close: the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5856 is 0.3 percent far from the 7700X, and the Intel Core a ultra 9 185H is 0.7 percent higher. But for the GPU, the nearest rivals have deltas of 0.0 and 0.3, showing that markets many comparables. The rank itself is the main data point here: 3625 would be considered a low interoperability but the exact reason is not provided by the dataset.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is a high-performance graphics card. It has 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384‑bit interface, yielding a memory bandwidth of 1.01 TB/s. The base clock runs 2235 MHz, the boost 2520 MHz. Its 16384 shading units, 512 TMUs, and 176 ROPs indicate per pixel capacity; the FP32 processing is 82.58 TFLOPS, same as FP16 due 1:1 ratio.

The effect the GPU has on Valorant varies with resolution. At 1080p Low the FPS of 245 is not consuming card; the GPU can render instantly but the CPU steps in. At 2160p Ultra the GPU steps fully, with only 56 average FPS. This shows that the 4090 is not a limiting component at 1080p and 1440p, but at 2160p it can be. The GPU’s high VRAM of 24 GB gives zero possibility of exceeding the game’s textures; yet the data shows that increasing from 1080 to 2160 drastically reduces the FPS, suggesting the limitation is not on VRAM or memory bandwidth but the shading and frequency.

Also note the GPU stats: it sits in the 88th percentile of all GPUs and its average benchmark score is 60347. Its nearest rival is the Intel Arc Pro A60 with a delta of 0.0. This is a top 10% GPU, but even this class does not deliver above 200 FPS at 4K–the game’s engine and rendering pipeline are the real constraints.

These numbers serve as the basis for all conclusions: the 7700X maintains a CPU-capped state in most settings of 1080 and 1440, while the RTX 4090’s absolute headroom comes into effect only at 2160p, where higher settings degrade the frame rate sharply. The Medium preset appears to be the performance per‑frame sweet spot at both mainstream resolutions.
