01.Why does Valorant require Specific Optimization?
Unlike GPU-heavy AAA games, Valorant is extremely **CPU** dependent. Any background process that "steals" CPU cycles will cause micro-stutters exactly at the moment of a flick shot.
If your Frametime is not flat (stable), you will feel the game is "heavy", even with high FPS. In Windows 11, features like VBS (Virtualization-Based Security) can degrade performance by up to 25% in these competitive scenarios.
Golden Setting: Reflex Low Latency
Always keep NVIDIA Reflex on On + Boost inside the game if available. This forces the GPU to ignore the render queue, drastically reducing the delay between click and shot.

02.The Secret of HPET and System Timers
Many professional players disable HPET (High Precision Event Timer) via Device Manager or CMD to reduce Input Lag. On modern hardware, dynamic timers can generate "jitter" (oscillation) that hampers aim.
Commands via CMD (Admin):
bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes
bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock
These changes ensure that the system's internal clock doesn't try to save power at the expense of your mouse's precision.
