Genshin Impact
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 60 FPS. At 1440p, frame rates range from 56 to 70 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 42 to 58 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 279% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for Genshin Impact. The Ryzen 5 PRO 3400G is 31% below minimum CPU requirement.
At lower resolutions (all 1080p settings), the Ryzen 5 PRO 3400G sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1440p (low/medium)), the GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1440p (high/ultra), all 4k settings.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1729. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 60 FPS, equivalent to 0.03 FPS per dollar.

This chart answers a simple question: which upgrade is more likely to increase FPS first? In this case, the answer is more often the CPU.
The largest gap appears at 1080p Low, where the Ryzen 5 PRO 3400G reaches about 88 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 still has headroom up to roughly 141 FPS.
That means the Ryzen 5 PRO 3400G is hitting its performance ceiling first, leaving a 38% gap versus the GeForce RTX 4090's available headroom in the most unbalanced scenario. Across all tested settings, this pairing is CPU-limited in 4 out of 12 cases, with 2 GPU-limited and 6 balanced results.
Overall, this is a CPU-leaning combination in this game.
The Ryzen 5 PRO 3400G is more often the limiting part in this game, so a CPU upgrade is somewhat more likely to deliver the bigger FPS gain than a GPU upgrade.
This chart shows which upgrade is more likely to unlock more FPS in each tested setting. The lower line represents the part that reaches its limit first. When the CPU and GPU lines stay close together, the system is more balanced. When the gap widens, one component is more clearly holding the other back. Hover any setting to inspect it.
The lower line is the current limiter. The closer the two lines are, the more balanced the CPU and GPU are for this game.
Each line represents an estimated FPS ceiling for one component, rather than live usage alone.
To estimate the CPU ceiling, we pair the Ryzen 5 PRO 3400G with GeForce RTX 5090, our current GPU anchor. To estimate the GPU ceiling, we pair the GeForce RTX 4090 with Ryzen 9 9950X3D, our current CPU anchor.
The lower line indicates the current limiter, since that component reaches its FPS ceiling first. In most scenarios, that is also the part most likely to deliver the bigger performance uplift if upgraded first.
The percentage shown represents the gap between the two ceilings. In practical terms, it shows how much of the stronger component's potential is left unused because the weaker one becomes the bottleneck first.

Yes, the Ryzen 5 PRO 3400G paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Genshin Impact smoothly up to 1080p achieving around 60 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 74% below the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1,729 ($80 CPU + $1,649 GPU). 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 #4 for value).
For Genshin Impact, upgrading the CPU would usually improve performance first. In the Performance Limiter Analysis, the Ryzen 5 PRO 3400G is the side that most often caps the frame rate, while the GeForce RTX 4090 still has additional headroom in the tested presets. The main bottleneck appears on the CPU side. The largest gap shows up at 1080p Low, where the CPU reaches about 88 FPS while the GPU still has headroom up to roughly 141 FPS. Across all tested settings, the distribution is 2/12 GPU-limited, 4/12 CPU-limited, and 6/12 balanced.
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 hardware falls below the minimum requirements for this game, which may result in poor 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.
