The Valorant DPI split is more balanced than CS2
Compared to CS2, where 400 and 800 DPI dominate, Valorant pros are more comfortable at 1600 DPI. Valorant's slower TTK and ability-heavy gameplay rewards smaller micro-adjustments — many pros run higher DPI with tiny in-game sens numbers (0.2 – 0.4) to fine-tune their flicks.
Use eDPI to compare, not DPI
Two Valorant pros on different DPI can play at the same physical sensitivity. The metric that matters is eDPI = DPI × in-game sens. See our Valorant eDPI distribution and eDPI calculator.
What should you use?
- Coming from CS / Apex / Overwatch? Start at your current DPI. Use our sensitivity converter to translate your eDPI to a Valorant in-game sens.
- Brand new to FPS? 800 DPI is the safe default. Pair with an in-game sens that lands you between 180–320 eDPI.
Frequently Asked Questions
What DPI do most Valorant pros use?
800 DPI, used by 70 of 121 pros (57.9%).
Is 1600 DPI better for Valorant?
Not inherently. Some Valorant pros prefer it for smaller in-game sens numbers and finer adjustments. Others stay on 800 because it's what they're used to. Either works.
What is Valorant pro eDPI?
Median Valorant pro eDPI is roughly in the 250–320 range. See the full eDPI distribution.
Why is Valorant DPI different from CS2?
Different game pacing. Valorant is slower, more about precision than wide tracking, and rewards smaller adjustments. CS2 favours faster flicks. The DPI camps reflect that — Valorant has more 1600 DPI users.
