fps started dropping (never had this issue before)

Experiencing sudden FPS drops can be frustrating. Here are some steps that might help you resolve the issue:

  1. Update Drivers: Ensure your GPU drivers are up-to-date. Visit the NVIDIA website to download the latest drivers for your GTX 1070.
  2. Settings Optimization: Lower in-game settings like texture quality, shadows, and effects. Turn off V-Sync and limit the FPS to your monitor's refresh rate.
  3. Close Background Apps: Close unnecessary applications running in the background, especially those that might be using a lot of CPU or GPU resources.
  4. Power Settings: Ensure your PC is set to 'High Performance' in the Power Options settings.
  5. Windows Update: Ensure your Windows is up-to-date with the latest patches and updates.
  6. Clean PC: Physically clean your PC to ensure there’s no dust buildup causing overheating issues.
  7. Reinstall VALORANT: As a last resort, uninstall and reinstall VALORANT to make sure that no files are corrupted.
If your FPS drops continue, consider reaching out to Riot Games Support for more assistance.
