Valorant benchmark on RTX 3060: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Valorant FPS with a RTX 3060 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 260FPS min 130Excellent | 178FPS min 100Excellent | 64FPS min 56Good |
| High | 338FPS min 169Excellent | 231FPS min 130Excellent | 84FPS min 73Good |
| Medium | 442FPS min 220Excellent | 303FPS min 170Excellent | 109FPS min 95Good |
| Low | 500FPS min 249Excellent | 392FPS min 221Excellent | 141FPS min 123Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 64% | CPU 53% | balanced |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3060. There is 10% 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.
DLSS 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 RTX 3060 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 260 | 325 | 377 |
| 1440p | 178 | 240 | 294 |
| 4K | 64 | 93 | 118 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3060 does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
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.
With that CPU, the RTX 3060 has headroom to spare in Valorant: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help.
Is the RTX 3060 Enough for Valorant?
The RTX 3060 delivers 260 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Valorant. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 178 FPS and at 4K 64 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
