PC Drivers & Software

[TheGhostBenito]

at the beginning of the year I discovered what the radeon boost was for, and everything was working fine until version 27, the first version of 27 cancelled the radeon boost (so fortnite and other games did not work even though it was activated) in the second 27.2 it started to work but not in valorant. As of today, version 23.8.1 of adrenaline software has been released and the radeon boost option for valorant still does not appear.

Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:

Clean Installation of Drivers:

Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to completely uninstall your current GPU drivers.
Download the latest drivers from the AMD website.
Install the drivers in clean installation mode. During installation, choose the option to perform a clean installation.

Check Game Compatibility:

Ensure that Valorant is a supported game for AMD Radeon Boost. Check AMD's official website or documentation for the list of supported games.

Game Profile Settings:

Open AMD Radeon Software and navigate to the "Games" tab.
Locate Valorant in the list of games and check its settings.
Make sure that the Radeon Boost option is enabled for Valorant.

Restore Default Settings:

Within the AMD Radeon Software, you can try restoring the global graphics settings to default.
Navigate to the "Settings" tab, then click on "Restore Factory Defaults."

Wait for Updates:

Sometimes compatibility issues between software updates (game updates and driver updates) can cause certain features to stop working temporarily. Check for future AMD driver updates that might address the issue.

Check for Valorant Updates:

Sometimes, game updates can also affect how certain features interact. Ensure that Valorant is up to date with the latest patches.

Check with Valorant Support:

Reach out to Riot Games' Valorant support for assistance. They might have insights into whether there's any known issue with Radeon Boost on their end.
Remember that software compatibility issues can sometimes be complex and require collaboration between the hardware and game developers to fully resolve. Until the issue is resolved, you might consider using the default graphics settings for Valorant to ensure stability and smooth gameplay.
