This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the Core i9-10900F sets the ceiling at about 57 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 89 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 36% (FPS gap: 32 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 8/12 cells, GPU limits 1/12, balanced 3/12.
Your Core i9-10900F 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 6% | Balanced | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 19% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 10% | CPU Limits GPU 17% | CPU Limits GPU 27% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 13% | CPU Limits GPU 21% | CPU Limits GPU 23% | CPU Limits GPU 36% |
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 i9-10900F + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 6% and 15% and GPU utilization between 68% and 100%. Core i9-10900F 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 82% at 1080p to 92% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 9% to 10%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 4K (Ultra HD) Ultra, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 95% usage (90-100%), while the Core i9-10900F stays at 10% (7-13%). 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 9% and GPU 82%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 9% and GPU 89%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 10% and GPU 92%. 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 9% (6-12%) and GPU 88% (80-95%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Core i9-10900F remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade priority should be the GPU. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 95% average load at 4K (Ultra HD) Ultra while the Core i9-10900F still has headroom, so a faster graphics card would deliver the largest uplift.
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 i9-10900F paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Genshin Impact smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 89 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 42% below the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1949 ($300 CPU (Rank #294 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 i9-10900F 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 ultra, 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.
