UPDATE: Bloom helps with sova's dart.

UPDATE: Improve Clarity does actually have an effect similar to increasing contrast. It's not very noticeable and not worth the performance cost. Also no, improve clarity does not highlight enemies far away - that's a myth. Recommended setting: OFF

UPDATE: MED setting on Material Quality will make breakable windows such as Garden on Ascent slightly easier to see through than LOW. Recommend: MED

UPDATE: Anisotropic Filtering effect changes the distance at which textures at an angle are rendered. The higher the setting you choose the further that textures will be rendered to full quality. This is most noticeable on the firearm (shown in video) as the texture is at a very steep angle to the camera. The same effect is also applied to ground textures in-game, but they are less noticeable than the firearm which is why this video shows it on the Vandal instead of ground textures. Recommended setting: 4x

UPDATE: Distortion adds a distortion effect to scopes. Recommended setting: OFF
UPDATE: UI quality affects the minimap.

Selecting the best settings for Valorant through benchmarking each setting and evaluating it on a visual quality vs performance level to get the maximum fps boost with the minimal visual quality impact.

Benchmarked final settings:
Multithreaded Rendering - ON
Material Quality - MED
Texture Quality - MED
Detail Quality - MED
UI Quality - MED
Vignette - OFF
VSYNC - OFF
Anti-Aliasing - MSAA4x
Anisotropic Filtering - 4x
Improve Clarity - OFF
Bloom - OFF
Distortion - OFF
First Person Shadows - OFF

For optimum results the benchmarks were done on a GTX 1070 as it is one of the most commonly used cards for the average gamer at the moment. It is also more likely to reveal benchmarked FPS performance differences where a top of the line video card could show no difference for minor visual effect settings such as Bloom. CPU used is a Intel i7 7700k.
