If you want to climb from Diamond to Radiant on local Cape Town servers, every single frame counts. The AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT is an absolute beast for 1440p gaming... but are you squeezing out its full potential? Let us dive into the best RX 7800 XT Valorant competitive settings at 1440p and look at the FPS results 2026 players are currently hitting.

Pushing Frames on Local Servers 🚀

Valorant is highly optimised for competitive play. However, running it at 1440p while maintaining a rock-solid 360Hz refresh rate requires serious hardware. If you are building a new rig from scratch, exploring our best gaming PC deals is a smart first step.

For those already rocking AMD's stellar mid-range GPU, adjusting your in-game visuals is the key to minimal input lag.

Clarity Pro Tip ⚡

Turn on 'Improve Clarity' and 'Experimental Sharpening' in your graphics settings. This makes enemy heads pop against the background, even when using lower texture settings.
