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.

Prob something to do with the new amd drivers
I updated my drivers after I noticed the issue
And updating didn't fix, is what I meant
Rollback to the drivers u had 2 weeks ago
It updates automatically sometimes
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
Wipe those and try installing new ones
Same as this again
It's playable, just not too enjoyable to play
Are u using any overlay apps?
Solution
Like overwolf or any recording software
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
Only if u had read the whole thread before saying that
