How much CPU does Valorant typically use?
Valorant is pretty well-optimized, so it shouldn't hog all your CPU. Expect it to use around 30% to 40% of your CPU on average, but that can vary based on your PC's specs and what settings you're playing on. If you're noticing it's using more, you might wanna check your settings or see if there are background apps eating up resources too!

Around 35%, give or take. But if it's using way more, might be time for an upgrade or at least a cleanup of your system. Valorant's slick, but not a PC killer.
Not much really, my rig runs it smooth without breaking a sweat. If you got a decent setup, CPU usage should be the least of your worries. Just enjoy the game!
Too much if you ask me. No game should be using upwards of 50% of your CPU, that's just inefficient. Especially for something as streamlined as Valorant, developers need to optimize better.
