lag spikes only when valorant is running
i recently built a pc with these specs:
RTX 4080 Gpu
AMD Ryzen 9 9900x Cpu
64gb RAM 6000mhz
Gigabyte b850 mobo
EVERY other game i play runs perfectly fine with aboslutely no lags whatsoever, valorant also did after first boot. but trying it out again today i noticed constant minor and sometimes major fps/lag spikes when playing. another thing to note, when valorant is running other things lag with similar timing (youtube video for example) for some reason
im not really sure what this is or what could cause this for just valorant to have this experience, any kind of help would be welcome! i can provide videos of gameplay and screenshots of anything when asked

Try to unplug unnecessary usb devices/hubs and see if it helps
the only usb devices i have plugged in are my mic, keyboard and mouse
i didnt have any issues with valorant and it having lag spikes until recently, ive done file repair + reinstalled, and ive updated all of my drivers and nothing has fixed it
Do you get ping spikes/packet lossses?
Also record your gameplay and send it
cant record in higher quality bc of the discord max file size, i hope thats clear enough ðŸ˜
it even happens when i stand still
would still love some help for this.. 😞
@zav - purple skin truther sry was afk for a bit, what's your riot id? I can do a bit of digging to see of there's anything obvious. also upload your vanguard logs and shootergame logs here pls
ohhhhhh this looks like the realtek driver issue
can you also open device manager
expand network adapters
and right click on "Realtek Family Controller" and disable it
and test the game
will try that after the match, was just testing it and its like this in a swift play:
how do I do that? the logs
Open C:\Program Files\Riot Vanguard
Right click on the Logs folder > compress to and zip file
should I shut the game when I do that?
my riot id is z4vv#ice
Wait for junimo to check:val_Prayge:
Can you also test this, soo it can be ruled out
i have done a dm after disabling it and theres no lags so far, going to try a swift now
okay it seems to be fine now @Rachel
Mb, videos don’t work on my phone so couldn’t check it earlier
all good! tysm for the help
now i can finally play the game xD
Have fun
