Graphics Driver Crashing
Ok so my main gpu killed itself a couple weeks ago so I'm using my integrated gpu to play valorant. Getting some graphics driver crashing issues even though my framerate is completely ok (im playing completely lowest settings and in 720p) and all of my graphics drivers are up to date. I have checked some youtube videos and a couple of forums, but no help there because I am on AMD graphics. Are there any other steps I can take?

It sounds frustrating to deal with crashing issues even with updated drivers. Here are a few steps that might help stabilize your game:
1. Lower in-game settings: Although you mentioned they are already low, ensure every setting, including textures and effects, is at its minimum.
2. Disable Full-Screen Optimizations: Right-click the VALORANT shortcut, go to Properties > Compatibility, and check "Disable Full-Screen Optimizations".
3. Run VALORANT as an Administrator: Right-click the VALORANT shortcut and select "Run as administrator".
4. Update DirectX: Ensure you have the latest version of DirectX installed through Windows Update.
5. Adjust Power Settings: Set your PC to "High Performance" in Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options.
6. Disable Overlays: Turn off any game overlays (e.g., Discord, AMD Radeon Software).
7. Check for Windows Updates: Ensure your Windows version is up-to-date.
If these steps don’t help, you might need to check for memory issues or consider temporary graphics card solutions until your main GPU is replaced.
