Genshin Impact
Optimized for mobile roots, the PC version offers higher resolution textures and volumetric shadows while keeping minimum specs low. It is light on the CPU but requires a dedicated GPU for stable 1080p/60FPS gameplay.
This game has a built-in FPS cap of 60 FPS
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, frame rates range from 26 to 50 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 26 to 50 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 17 to 31 FPS.
The Quadro K1200 is 71% below recommended, but 3% above minimum for Genshin Impact. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 0% above the recommended CPU (Core i7).
The Quadro K1200 sets the FPS ceiling at 1080p (medium/high/ultra), all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p low.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $562.13. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 26 FPS, equivalent to 0.05 FPS per dollar.

This chart answers a simple question: which upgrade is more likely to increase FPS first? In this case, the answer is the GPU.
The largest gap appears at 4K Ultra, where the Quadro K1200 reaches about 21 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has headroom up to roughly 72 FPS.
That means the Quadro K1200 is hitting its performance ceiling first, leaving a 71% gap versus the Ryzen 7 7800X3D's available headroom in the most unbalanced scenario. Across all tested settings, this pairing is GPU-limited in 11 out of 12 cases, with 0 CPU-limited and 1 balanced results.
Overall, this is a GPU-limited combination in this game.
The Quadro K1200 is usually the limiting part in this game, so upgrading the GPU is more likely to deliver a larger FPS gain than upgrading the CPU.
This chart shows which upgrade is more likely to unlock more FPS in each tested setting. The lower line represents the part that reaches its limit first. When the CPU and GPU lines stay close together, the system is more balanced. When the gap widens, one component is more clearly holding the other back. Hover any setting to inspect it.
The lower line is the current limiter. The closer the two lines are, the more balanced the CPU and GPU are for this game.
Each line represents an estimated FPS ceiling for one component, rather than live usage alone.
To estimate the CPU ceiling, we pair the Ryzen 7 7800X3D with GeForce RTX 5090, our current GPU anchor. To estimate the GPU ceiling, we pair the Quadro K1200 with Ryzen 9 9950X3D, our current CPU anchor.
The lower line indicates the current limiter, since that component reaches its FPS ceiling first. In most scenarios, that is also the part most likely to deliver the bigger performance uplift if upgraded first.
The percentage shown represents the gap between the two ceilings. In practical terms, it shows how much of the stronger component's potential is left unused because the weaker one becomes the bottleneck first.
See how your processor and graphics card compare against the game official minimum and recommended system specs. The placement of your hardware is calculated using relative synthetic performance scores to help you gauge overall playability.
Your CPU is 0% below recommended and your GPU is 71% below recommended, but both meet minimum specs. Playable at Low/Medium settings, 1080p or below.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Quadro K1200 will struggle to run Genshin Impact at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 26 FPS which is classified as "struggling". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $562.13 ($378.13 CPU + $184 GPU). Since the GPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger GPU will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, upgrading to the Radeon Pro Vega 56 for around $399 (Rank #97 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Genshin Impact, upgrading the GPU would usually give you the most noticeable improvement. In the Performance Limiter Analysis, the Quadro K1200 is the side that most often caps the frame rate, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has additional headroom in the tested presets. The main bottleneck appears on the GPU side. The largest gap shows up at 4K Ultra, where the GPU reaches about 21 FPS while the CPU still has headroom up to roughly 72 FPS. Across all tested settings, the distribution is 11/12 GPU-limited, 0/12 CPU-limited, and 1/12 balanced.
Genshin Impact does not currently support Frame Generation technologies like DLSS 3 or FSR 3. Your performance is based entirely on native rendering. If the game adds support in a future update, newer GPUs will benefit the most.
Genshin Impact requires at minimum a Core i5 (CPU) and GeForce GT 1030 (GPU) with 8 GB RAM and 100 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i7 and GeForce GTX 1060 with 16 GB RAM. Your setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth performance.
These Genshin Impact FPS results are not arbitrary numbers. They come from calculations informed by thousands of real gaming benchmarks, and the typical accuracy range is around 10% to 15%. That makes them far more useful than generic FPS calculators that simply invent values without a benchmark foundation. Actual in-game performance can still vary with drivers, updates, RAM configuration, cooling, and the exact scene being rendered.
Performance estimates are based on synthetic benchmarks and hardware capabilities.
Results may vary based on drivers, OS, and background processes.
