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, all quality settings exceed 113 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 72 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 51 to 87 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 279% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for Genshin Impact. The Core 5 120UL is 20% below minimum CPU requirement.
At lower resolutions (1080p (high/ultra), 1440p (medium/high/ultra), all 4k settings), the Core 5 120UL sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1080p (low/medium)), the GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1440p low.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1919. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 113 FPS, equivalent to 0.06 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the Core 5 120UL sets the ceiling at about 51 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 89 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 43% (FPS gap: 38 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 9/12 cells, GPU limits 2/12, balanced 1/12.
Your Core 5 120UL is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 4090 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 15% | GPU Limits CPU 7% | CPU Limits GPU 9% | CPU Limits GPU 27% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 16% | CPU Limits GPU 25% | CPU Limits GPU 38% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 17% | CPU Limits GPU 24% | CPU Limits GPU 28% | CPU Limits GPU 43% |
We estimate the maximum FPS the processor can sustain and the maximum FPS the graphics card can sustain in each setting, then compare those limits directly.
Limit Factor formula: (stronger - weaker) / stronger. Example: if CPU ceiling is 200 FPS and GPU ceiling is 140 FPS, then GPU limits CPU by 30%.
CPU Limits GPU means the processor ceiling is lower. GPU Limits CPU means the graphics ceiling is lower. Balanced means the FPS ceilings are close enough that the gap is negligible.
A component can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

The Core 5 120UL + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 16% and 31% and GPU utilization between 30% and 92%. Core 5 120UL keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce RTX 4090 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 42% at 1080p to 81% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 23% to 24%.
The utilization pattern is relatively even. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 82% average at its highest-load preset, while the Core 5 120UL peaks at 24% average. This suggests a fairly controlled load distribution, but the actual FPS-limiting side should still be read from the limiter analysis above.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 23% and GPU 42%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 23% and GPU 67%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 24% and GPU 81%. This shows that GPU demand scales sharply with resolution while CPU load remains comparatively stable.
4K (Ultra HD) Ultra is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 22% (16-29%) and GPU 82% (71-92%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Core 5 120UL remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Core 5 120UL and GeForce RTX 4090 remain reasonably matched for this title.
Understanding Hardware Utilization: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. They describe hardware load, but they do not directly tell you which component sets the FPS ceiling.
Important: a CPU or GPU can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. Two processors can both show 40% usage and still deliver very different frame rates, depending on per-core speed, cache, engine threading, driver overhead, and frame preparation efficiency.

Yes, the Core 5 120UL paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Genshin Impact smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 72 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 69% below the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1919 ($270 CPU (Rank #371 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Since the CPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger processor will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, the Ryzen 9 9950X is a great upgrade option for around $649 (Rank #5 for value).
For Genshin Impact, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Core 5 120UL is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 4090 has extra headroom that a faster processor could take advantage of. This is especially noticeable at 1080p where CPU performance matters more. CPU-limited at: 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra. GPU fully utilized at: 1080p low, 1080p medium.
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 hardware falls below the minimum requirements for this game, which may result in poor 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.
