What Is FOV in Valorant?

FOV or Field of View is the range of what you see on your screen while you're ingame. Lower FOV means you see less, higher means you see more. In a game such as Valorant having the highest possible FOV can be a game changer.

The benefits of having a higher FOV are:

A better point of View
Much easier to spot Agents
Your reflexes and aim-switch might improve

The default FOV in Valorant is 103, which is quite high compared to the average one of 90 that most users have. For example, if you decide to change the Valorant game ratio to 4:3 it will decrease to 71, which means you will be playing at a disadvantage as you will see fewer elements on your screen.

What Resolution Do Pros Use In Valorant

Last but not least, let's share the best possible one with you. The resolutions differ from player to player and mostly depend on their comfort FoV.

Tenz uses these Display Settings:

Resolution: 1920x1080

Display Mode: Windowed Mode

On the other hand, this is what s1mple uses:

Resolution: 1280x960

Notice the difference? Tenz is using the in-game screen settings, while s1mple opts out to change the FoV via the Nvidia Control panel. S1mple's FoV has the maximum possible FPS which is recommended for lower-end PCs.
