Valorant benchmark on R9 380: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Valorant FPS with a R9 380 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 50FPS min 44Acceptable | 31FPS min 27Acceptable | 11FPS min 10Unplayable |
| High | 66FPS min 58Good | 40FPS min 35Acceptable | 14FPS min 13Unplayable |
| Medium | 86FPS min 75Good | 52FPS min 46Acceptable | 18FPS min 16Poor |
| Low | 111FPS min 97Good | 68FPS min 60Good | 23FPS min 21Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 19% | GPU 51% | GPU 83% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the R9 380. There is 19% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Valorant at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the R9 380 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 50 | 63 | 73 |
| 1440p | 31 | 42 | 51 |
| 4K | 11 | 16 | 20 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The R9 380 has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the R9 380 is what caps the frame rate in Valorant. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the R9 380 Enough for Valorant?
The R9 380 delivers 50 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Valorant. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 31 FPS and at 4K 11 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
