This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p low, the GeForce RTX 4090 sets the ceiling at about 154 FPS, while the Core i5-14600K has headroom up to 251 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 39% (FPS gap: 97 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 11/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 1/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4090 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Core i5-14600K frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 39% | GPU Limits CPU 39% | GPU Limits CPU 36% | GPU Limits CPU 22% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 25% | GPU Limits CPU 27% | GPU Limits CPU 27% | GPU Limits CPU 13% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 19% | GPU Limits CPU 19% | Balanced |
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 i5-14600K + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 4% and 20% and GPU utilization between 73% and 100%. Core i5-14600K keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce RTX 4090 carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 84% at 1080p to 90% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 11% to 13%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 4K (Ultra HD) Ultra, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 92% usage (84-100%), while the Core i5-14600K stays at 9% (4-14%). This shows the graphics pipeline is carrying most of the workload, but utilization alone does not define the FPS limiter.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 11% and GPU 84%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 11% and GPU 87%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 13% and GPU 90%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1440p (2K QHD) Ultra is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 7% (5-9%) and GPU 88% (84-91%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Core i5-14600K remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Core i5-14600K 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 i5-14600K paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Genshin Impact smoothly up to 4k achieving around 96 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 12% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1924 ($275 CPU (Rank #79 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your GeForce RTX 4090 provides phenomenal top-tier performance but at a premium enthusiast price. Since you are essentially at the ceiling of current hardware capabilities, there are no meaningful performance upgrades available. However, if you wanted a more cost-effective build that still delivers a great experience, you could theoretically step down to a high-end card with a significantly better value rating.
Your GeForce RTX 4090 is already a top-tier graphics card. While it's technically the limiting factor here (which means you are fully utilizing your GPU's visual horsepower exactly as intended), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Genshin Impact performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high.
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 Core i5-14600K and GeForce RTX 4090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
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.
