Suggestion To Upgrade Laptop Or Not?
So my laptop asus vivobook 15 m515 with
cpu: ryzen 5 3500u mobile
ram: 4+4gb 2400mhz ddr4 ram (4gb soldered , other 4gb removable)
storage: 512gb nvme ssd
os: atlas os
gpu: amd vega 8 mobile graphics (apu no dedicated graphics card)
so my laptop before quiet alot patches before in 2022 used to give a nice 60-120 fps easily
but now it struggles even 60
should i upgrade my ram to 12gb as my 2gb ram out of 8gb is used for integrated graphics
and valo gets only 6gb ram would 12gb ram be enough for it to push fps back to 60-80 constant fps?

Upgrading your RAM to 12GB could potentially help improve performance, but it’s not a guaranteed fix for the FPS drops you're experiencing. VALORANT's performance can be affected by multiple factors including game patches, system updates, and background processes. Here are a few steps you might consider:
1. Upgrade RAM: Increasing your RAM to 12GB might help, as more memory can alleviate some of the strain, especially with integrated graphics using part of it.
2. Update Drivers: Ensure all your drivers, especially GPU drivers, are up to date.
3. Optimizing Settings: Check your in-game settings and lower them if needed.
4. Background Processes: Minimize background applications that might be consuming memory and CPU resources.
5. System Maintenance: Run regular maintenance such as disk cleanup and defragmentation.
For long-term improvement, if budget permits, consider a laptop with a dedicated graphics card which would significantly boost gaming performance.

But you can try upgrading it
But I would recommend making sure that it is your memory problem
You can do this by opening task manager and playing the game and making sure your memory usage is not above 95%
my laptop has no gpu its integrated graphics 2gb vram
Yes I know that
I meant upgrading your memory here
Make sure to have Valorant open
