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 142 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 107 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 99 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 279% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for Genshin Impact. The Core i9-9990XE is 12% below recommended, but 128% above minimum.
At lower resolutions (1080p ultra, 1440p ultra), the Core i9-9990XE sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1080p (low/medium/high), 1440p (low/medium), all 4k settings), the GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1440p high.
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k low, the GeForce RTX 4090 sets the ceiling at about 105 FPS, while the Core i9-9990XE has headroom up to 136 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 23% (FPS gap: 31 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 9/12 cells, CPU limits 2/12, balanced 1/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4090 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Core i9-9990XE frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 16% | GPU Limits CPU 6% | CPU Limits GPU 8% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 11% | GPU Limits CPU 8% | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 8% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 23% | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 22% | GPU Limits CPU 10% |
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 i9-9990XE + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 4% and 21% and GPU utilization between 19% and 65%. Core i9-9990XE keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce RTX 4090 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 27% at 1080p to 56% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 11% to 13%.
The utilization pattern is relatively even. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 56% average at its highest-load preset, while the Core i9-9990XE peaks at 14% 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 11% and GPU 27%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 12% and GPU 42%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 13% and GPU 56%. This shows that GPU demand scales sharply with resolution while CPU load remains comparatively stable.
4K (Ultra HD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 14% (8-21%) and GPU 56% (46-65%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Core i9-9990XE remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Core i9-9990XE 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 i9-9990XE paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Genshin Impact smoothly up to 4k achieving around 99 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 12% below the recommended requirements.
Price data is not currently available for this combination. In general, look for setups where the CPU and GPU are balanced — this ensures you're not overspending on one component that the other can't keep up with.
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, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra. CPU-limited at: 1080p ultra, 1440p 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.
