Capping and uncapping FPS in VALORANT have different impacts, especially on a laptop:
Capping FPS:
Pros:
1. Stability: Can lead to more consistent and stable frame rates, reducing unexpected drops during play.
2. Cooling: Helps keep your laptop cooler by reducing the load on the GPU and CPU.
3. Battery Life: Contributes to longer battery life if playing unplugged.
4. Less Screen Tearing: Reduces screen tearing when synced with monitor refresh rate.
Cons:
1. Potential Input Lag: Slightly higher input lag compared to uncapped FPS.
2. Lower Performance Ceiling: Limits the maximum potential performance.
Uncapping FPS:
Pros:
1. Reduced Input Lag: Can result in faster response times, providing a competitive edge.
2. Maximized GPU Use: Allows your hardware to perform at its highest capacity.
Cons:
1. Higher Temperature: May cause your laptop to heat up significantly, which could lead to thermal throttling.
2. Increased Power Consumption: Drains battery faster and could potentially shorten the lifespan of components under continuous high load.
3. Possible Screen Tearing: More likely to experience screen tearing if the FPS exceeds the monitor's refresh rate without V-Sync.
Experiment with both settings to see which works best for your laptop’s performance and comfort.

Is it because my GPU usage is low so I have fps drop or it's a valorant optimization issue
