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 79 FPS. At 1440p, frame rates range from 52 to 66 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 33 to 49 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 279% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for Genshin Impact. The M2 Max is 22% below recommended, but 103% above minimum.
The M2 Max sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the GeForce RTX 4090 still has headroom.
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the M2 Max sets the ceiling at about 33 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 89 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 63% (FPS gap: 56 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your M2 Max 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 36% | CPU Limits GPU 41% | CPU Limits GPU 45% | CPU Limits GPU 47% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 38% | CPU Limits GPU 46% | CPU Limits GPU 52% | CPU Limits GPU 53% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 53% | CPU Limits GPU 58% | CPU Limits GPU 61% | CPU Limits GPU 63% |
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 M2 Max + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 15% and 36% and GPU utilization between 14% and 72%. M2 Max keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce RTX 4090 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 24% at 1080p to 61% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 28% to 29%.
The utilization pattern is relatively even. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 62% average at its highest-load preset, while the M2 Max peaks at 32% 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 28% and GPU 24%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 28% and GPU 41%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 29% and GPU 61%. 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 18% (15-21%) and GPU 62% (52-72%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while M2 Max remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the M2 Max 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 M2 Max paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Genshin Impact smoothly up to 1080p achieving around 82 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 22% 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.
For Genshin Impact, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The M2 Max 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.
