Hello all, this is just a quick test to see if any improvement is noticeable while running Valorant.
For all of the tests I went with the same graphic settings:
TL;DR: It helps performance by a bit*
Now let's see if GPU acceleration and game mode affects the game performance.
(These are settings you can find on your w10 OS, not sure if w11 has this function).
- Practice no bots
GPU off & Game Mode off
GPU On & Game Mode On
- Practice with bots
GPU off & Game Mode off
GPU On & Game Mode On
- Deathmatch (breeze)
GPU off & Game Mode off
GPU On & Game Mode On
- My conclusion: We can see some improvement here and there, in some cases the render latency is doubled without the GPU and GM activated, from 0.3 ms to 0.6 ms. (DM)
- In the practice room with and without bots we can see almost no difference.
Is this noticeable in game? I'm not an expert, I would like to see some experienced players comment on this and hopefully give some feedback on whether we should enable or disable.
Note: On the FPS I would like to ignore the results cause they are very volatile , this test was not conducted to check FPS performance however we can see a little bit of a boost.
Let me know your thoughts.
Good day
