How to give Valorant high priority
Easy fix! Just open the Task Manager with Ctrl+Shift+Esc, go to the 'Details' tab, right-click on Valorant (probably named 'VALORANT-Win64-Shipping.exe'), and set its priority to 'High'. This tells your computer to prioritize Valorant's processes over others, potentially smoothing out your gameplay. Just a heads up, you'll need to do this every time you launch the game, as the setting resets.

I tried setting it to high priority once, thinking it'd boost my FPS or something. Didn't notice a difference, tbh. But yeah, if you wanna try, Task Manager's the way to go. Just don't expect miracles.
Honestly, I never bother changing priority settings in Task Manager. Valorant runs smooth for me without tweaking. Could be more about optimizing your overall system performance or checking your internet connection.
Just a word of caution, messing with process priorities can sometimes lead to system instability, especially on older PCs. Sure, setting Valorant to high might help, but keep an eye on how your system reacts overall.
