Utility-heavy executes
Smokes, flashes, abilities, and player movement can spike CPU and GPU load at the worst moment.
01
Your PC can cost you rounds
A crowded site hit exposes every background app, overlay, and uneven frame. One hitch is enough to throw off a peek or spray.
Microstutters
Launchers, updates, recording tools, and overlays can interrupt an otherwise smooth match.
Late-feeling input
Uneven frames can throw off a flick or counter-strafe. They can also make recoil harder to control.
Background drag
Apps using CPU, memory, disk, or bandwidth leave less room for VALORANT.
03
Boost VALORANT FPS before you queue
Hone tunes Windows around VALORANT in one click, so you can skip the tweak guides and get into the next match.
Background cleanup
Cut extra startup tasks so VALORANT has more CPU time and memory.
Windows tuning
Apply gaming-focused system settings without patching the VALORANT client.
Steadier frame pacing
Cut avoidable interruptions that can make high FPS still feel choppy.
Cleaner network activity
Reduce PC-side background traffic that can contribute to ping spikes.
04
Clear boundaries around Riot Vanguard
Hone tunes Windows for VALORANT. It does not read, patch, or add code to the game client or Riot Vanguard. It does not automate play.
No process injection
Hone stays out of VALORANT and Riot Vanguard processes and does not inject code into either one.
No game-file patches
Your VALORANT installation and Riot Vanguard files remain unchanged.
No scripts or macros
Hone adds no aim, recoil, movement, or input scripts and no gameplay automation.
05
More FPS headroom when the site gets busy
FPS GAIN+176 FPS
Hone took this VALORANT test PC from 346 to 522 average FPS.
Test system: Intel 10900K (5.5 GHz AC), RTX 4090 (stock), 16 GB DDR4 RAM (18-18-18-24-4000 MHz).
Results vary by hardware, VALORANT settings, map, drivers, thermals, and background apps.
FPS GAIN
Extra headroom can keep peeks, flicks, and utility-heavy fights feeling steadier when the round gets messy.
06
More PC headroom, honest limits
Hone improves the part your Windows PC controls. It cannot fix Riot server load, distance, Wi-Fi quality, or your internet provider’s route.
PC performance
Hone tunes Windows and cuts extra background work. These can affect FPS and how quickly the PC responds to input.
Connection conditions
Hone can cut extra traffic on your PC. Your server, connection, and network route still limit how low ping can go.
Skill stays yours
More FPS cannot promise rank, aim, or wins. It gives your PC fewer chances to get in the way.
