At 4k ultra, the Core i5-12400F sets the ceiling at about 28 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 90 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 69% (FPS gap: 62 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Core i5-12400F 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) | CPU Limits GPU 37% | CPU Limits GPU 40% | CPU Limits GPU 43% | CPU Limits GPU 51% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 37% | CPU Limits GPU 41% | CPU Limits GPU 45% | CPU Limits GPU 53% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 57% | CPU Limits GPU 61% | CPU Limits GPU 63% | CPU Limits GPU 69% |
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.
The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

The Core i5-12400F + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 5% and 17% and GPU utilization between 67% and 100%. Core i5-12400F keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the primary limiter at high visual load. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 81% at 1080p to 93% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 11% to 11%.
This profile is GPU-bound. At 4K (Ultra HD) Ultra, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 96% usage (91-100%), while the Core i5-12400F stays at 11% (6-16%), indicating the graphics pipeline is the limiting stage.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 11% and GPU 81%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 10% and GPU 89%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 11% and GPU 93%. This shows that GPU demand scales sharply with resolution while CPU load remains comparatively stable.
1440p (2K QHD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 10% (6-15%) and GPU 88% (81-96%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Core i5-12400F remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade priority should be the GPU. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 96% average load at 4K (Ultra HD) Ultra while the Core i5-12400F still has headroom, so a faster graphics card would deliver the largest uplift.

Yes, the Core i5-12400F paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Genshin Impact smoothly up to 1080p achieving around 81 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 43% below the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1759 ($110 CPU (Rank #30 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your build is already very cost-efficient, but if you want even more FPS, the next good option is upgrading the CPU. 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 i5-12400F 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 low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
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.
