Amd gpus have issues in valorant because it doesnt utilize much of the gpu. It goes from 800 - 1500mhz consistently so I just kept it at 1600. I raised poower limit and made fans in auto mode.
Did clocking your mhz at 1600 help run the game smoother ?
So far I have tried many things and nothing really helped to make this game run better
My setup:
rtx 3080, Ryzen 7 5800X3D and the game is running on a M2
Generally, locking your gpu’s frequency helps in having stable frametimes (less stuttering) but it comes with higher temps and power than a fluctuating one.
In amd gpu, they have this problem that it wont boost its frequency if the game is more cpu demanding than gpu. This is why most people use some tools to lock their gpu clocks.
I have read before that some 3000 series have the same problem so you might want to try it out. Also, I have seen posts about the power spiking in 3000 series gpu if you have a weak/bad psu or gpu power cable.
These can be causes of your stutter.
For the cpu side of things, you should use hwinfo and check if they are thermal throttling or the cpu is fluctuating too much whenever playing a game. Power plans and bios settings can help you if thats the case.
EDIT:
Just updated my audio driver to realtek audio druver from mobo, noticed that frametimes have become more stable. However, REAL audio app cant be used (always at 10ms) and I haven’t checked if I sacrificed latency for smoothness.
So far it has been great.
