1. Install the Latest NVIDIA / AMD Graphics Card Driver
This point is quite common and not limited to Valorant. Whenever a new game is released, both NVIDIA and AMD provide new graphics updates to ensure smooth gameplay on your system. Although new features have not yet appeared in Valorant, updating the driver is still crucial and seems to solve most of the FPS issues.

2. Adjust Graphics Settings for both NVIDIA and AMD
This is akin to tweaking your VGA settings more than anything else. Sure, you can use the default graphics settings of your card, but if you're facing significant performance issues, it's best to access the NVIDIA and AMD settings, making some adjustments on how your graphics are displayed when they're outputted.
3. Reduce Image Graphics Settings in Valorant
Another effective way to address FPS issues in the game Valorant is to lower the graphics settings, setting the game's visuals to medium level (if you're currently set to high) or low. However, this setting may not provide optimal screen resolution for players, image details may be compromised... you'll have to trade off performance and graphics to experience high FPS in Valorant.
