Valorant Resolution and Frame Rate

Tranian — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 12:41:39 GMT

After updating to the latest B580 graphics card driver, I discovered that the refresh rate for each resolution in Valorant（Chinese server called 无畏契约） isn’t set to its maximum value, as shown in the image below. Please fix this issue as soon as possible.

Hello Mike,

Details below:

1.I'm using GUNNIR B580 Tri.

2.Installed 32.0.101.6734 （WHQL Certified）

3. Through Graphics Driver Software auto update

4. Actually, I suspect the issue is caused by the driver update because I've only been using the new computer for two months. Two months ago when I first started using the computer, the latest GPU driver version installed at that time was 32.0.101.6559 (WHQL Certified). At that time, when I played Valorant, the resolution was 1152×864, and the refresh rate for that resolution was the same as my monitor's maximum Hz, which was 180Hz. Not only that, but all resolutions had a refresh rate of 180Hz. After the update, I noticed the current issue, and when I searched online for solutions, I found that some other players with NVIDIA GPUs have encountered similar issues. In their discussions, they also mentioned that the problem occurred after updating the NVIDIA driver. Therefore, I have roughly determined that this issue is caused by the GPU driver update

Hello Mike,

I have already used DDU to uninstall the old driver and installed the latest driver through your kind references but the situation doesn't seem to have improved.

I changed my monitor from 180hz to 240hz, but the refresh rates corresponding to the resolution in the game are still not the max. Meanwhile, I found that there are too few selectable resolutions. For instance,1280*960 is not available.

Thank you for confirming that you've tried DDU. To further check this and to isolate the issue, please confirm the following:

Could you provide a screenshot of your in-game display and graphics settings?

Which gaming platform did you use to download the game?

Have you tried installing the latest driver version 32.0.101.6739 (Latest) and perform DDU?

If you have questions, please let us know. Thank you.
