How to make Valorant use GPU
Making Valorant run on your GPU instead of your CPU is all about tweaking those graphics settings. Dive into the settings menu in Valorant, and look for the 'Graphics Quality' section. Here, ensure that the 'Multithreaded Rendering' option is turned on, which allows Valorant to take full advantage of your GPU. Also, check your PC’s Nvidia or AMD control panel settings to make sure Valorant is set to run with your graphics processor. Sometimes the system defaults to integrated graphics, especially on laptops, so switching this manually can boost performance significantly!

Just set Valorant to high performance in your graphics card settings. Easy peasy.
Nah, it doesn't matter. Valorant runs fine on a potato.
Honestly, Valorant should auto-detect your GPU. If it doesn't, your drivers might be out of date. I had the same issue, updated my drivers, and boom, smooth gameplay!
