Valorant will run at 800+ FPS on 5th generation Nvidia graphics cards

Nvidia’s Official Unveiling

This week, Nvidia unveiled the specifications of its upcoming 5th generation graphics cards such as the RTX 5070, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and the RTX 5090. Nvidia claims that the RTX 5090 will be twice as powerful as the current leader, the RTX 4090, and will cost the same amount—a dream for enthusiasts.

Besides the GPUs, Nvidia also unveiled the enhanced Reflex 2 system that aims to reduce input lag. In a demonstration video, Reflex 2 was able to attain a latency of between 2-3 milliseconds in Valorant, which is a record for first-person shooter games.

The 800 FPS and Beyond in Valorant

Nvidia’s engineers said that when combined with the RTX 5090 and Reflex 2, Valorant can easily achieve 800+ FPS, which is very smooth. That kind of performance is not just bragging rights; it helps competitive players by reducing latency between their actions and the game’s reaction.

The Reflex Low Latency mode has already been a darling of esports players particularly when dealing with GPU bottlenecks. The new Reflex 2 Frame Warp technology, however, works on both the CPU and the GPU at the same time. In a CPU-heavy game like Valorant, the results are revolutionary: average system latency is reduced to below 3ms, which is a new benchmark for reaction speed in esports games.

What This Means for Competitive Play

For those players who want to climb the ranked ladder or play at the highest level, Nvidia’s 50-series GPUs are a dream. At such high frame rates and record low latency, the RTX 5090 is the ultimate tool in the arsenal of any serious Valorant competitor.

When Can You Get It?

The Nvidia RTX 50 series is expected to be launched in 2025, which will be a clear target for gamers if they want to aim for the future. If you are aiming for the highest framerates in Valorant and other esports titles, the 50-series GPUs and Reflex 2 tech are set to become essential.
