Requirements

[Joe]

Does this game requires better pc for low requirements than valorant or not?

[Shiro♌]

Upon taking a look, the requirements are about 1/3 lower overall, at least regarding the recommended CPU, but GPU requirements are about on par with Valorant's.

Then, we can go over the required free storage space where Valorant requires ~40 GB; Strinova's ~25 GB.
That's quite a difference..
-> At the moment, my Valorant's taking a little above ~50 GB; Strinova doesn't even reach ~30 GB, but requires a few tenths of MB to get there..

And, the recommended RAM?
Valorant requires 16 GB; Strinova requires 8 GB.

I do believe that this makes it pretty clear, doesn't it..
-> Valorant requires more powerful hardware than Strinova, albeit only regarding the storage and CPU.

It is always good to ask since not all time the game ask what they say in the requirements.

LOW REQUIREMENTS you speak of aka Minimum System Requirements are requirements to run the game open despite being unplayable. (Ex. 10 FPS, 15 FPS, 25 FPS, 30 FPS but NOT @60FPS+ stable)

You need to meet the ACTUAL recommended system requirements to fully run the game in a stable perfect state. Since you don't have the luxury to afford any of those, you can gauge it with lower than the RECOMMENDED system requirements but higher than the MINIMUM system requirements.

You're not supposed to rely on MINIMUM system requirements all the time to expect it to be playable @60 FPS because that's NOT how it works.

by minium i expect is 25-30 frames in 800x600. I play like that since 2007 and still nowdays, my country went to a hell hole so my hopes of getting a better pc also vanished lol.

Where did you found the 16 GB RAM requirement? I can't find it any.

You've been playing with Windows 7 back in 2007. You've upgraded your OS to Windows 10. Windows 10 is NOT the same as Windows 7 and has higher requirements than Windows 7 including the bloatware.

What works back in 2007 won't work accurately or consistent as now in 2024. You might need to use a non-bloatware version of the OS to make it work just like the old days but it's not guaranteed or the same despite having 800x600 lowest resolution, graphics and everything. Not even AI frame generation can give you salvation.

Valorant vs Strinova

I don't play Valorant but this is my answer I can give it to you. It's quite different to the other one as they only used MINIMUM SYSTEM requirements as comparison while mine is from RECOMMENDED. We're talking about FPS here so even if one component is inferior to the other, it'll still affect your FPS. We don't know your system specs at all to get an accurate reading but if you're transfering from Valorant to Strinova, it's going to perform WORSE. (Which is the intent of your post.)

Component	Valorant	Strinova	Conclusion
Operating System	Windows 10/11 (64-bit)	Windows 7/8/10/11 (64-bit)	Equal
Processor	Intel i3-4150 / Ryzen 3 1200	Intel Core i5-7400	Valorant (i3-4150 is less demanding)
Memory (RAM)	4GB	8GB	Valorant (less RAM required)
Graphics	Radeon R7 240	Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti	Valorant (R7 240 is less demanding)
DirectX	DirectX 11+	DirectX 11	Equal
Network	Broadband Internet connection	Broadband Internet connection	Equal
Storage	N/A	25GB available space	Valorant (lower storage requirement)

Strinova is more demanding than Valorant.

That'd be because I wasn't looking at the website, but within the Riot client itself.

If you click on Valorant from within the Riot client, you should see the requirements listed as minimum specs (30 FPS), recommended specs (60 FPS), and high-end specs (144+ FPS).

From what do I know, Valorant does heavily rely on the frame delay times, including the network latency, (...), and as such I provided the nowadays considered low requirements, those being the high-end ones.

You were right, it runs very slow in comparsion. Well it´s what it is.
