Frame drops during gunfights

For the past week or two, the game has just been unplayable for me. Whenever I take a gunfight my fps just drops for a second. https://medal.tv/games/valorant/clips/236y9ExoW_pic1/d1337XCzVRe8?invite=cr-MSxWVFAsMTk4NDAzMTY1LA , fps drops to 30, either as I shoot or as I get shot https://medal.tv/games/valorant/clips/236vbiQQg9eJK2/d1337MbfdWS8?invite=cr-MSw2TmcsMTk4NDAzMTY1LA , fps drops to 30 as I step, then 70 midfight. Most all my gunfights are like what happens in these clips (I capped my fps to 150). I've also noticed poor performance overall, whenever I pull out util or buy a weapon for the first time my frames just drop for a second. This has only been an issue for about 2 weeks. I used to average around 300-400fps and now it's idling at around 100-170fps. I've tried restarting my PC.

Hmm I'll try that My framerate stopped dropping when taking gunfights, but it's just unstable in general now :/

Wipe ur graphics drivers using ddu and do a clean installation

That's what I did I wiped my graphics drivers with ddu then installed an older graphics driver

Medal & Overwolf, but I've disabled Overwolf launching on startup so it's basically never open in bg Ig I could try lowering my settings on Medal Game feels a lot smoother when I closed Medal, didn't think to check that because it's never caused any issues before and I assumed it'd have better optimisation Guess I'll have to look into that when I can be bothered, thanks for the help

i think if you degrade to your old drivers the game will be working just like it was before
