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, frame rates range from 29 to 60 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 32 to 65 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 18 to 42 FPS.
The GeForce GTX 980 is 10% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for Genshin Impact. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 0% above the recommended CPU (Core i7).
Genshin Impact supports: FSR 3 Frame Gen, AFMF. The GeForce GTX 980 can use FSR 3 Frame Gen, providing up to 1.5x-2x frame rate boost.
At lower resolutions (all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, 4k low), the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (4k (high/ultra)), the GeForce GTX 980 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 4k medium.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $434. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 29 FPS, equivalent to 0.07 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p low, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the ceiling at about 60 FPS, while the GeForce GTX 980 could reach 127 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 53% (FPS gap: 67 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 9/12 cells, GPU limits 2/12, balanced 1/12.
Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce GTX 980 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 53% | CPU Limits GPU 41% | CPU Limits GPU 41% | CPU Limits GPU 20% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 53% | CPU Limits GPU 48% | CPU Limits GPU 45% | CPU Limits GPU 24% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 20% | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 19% | GPU Limits CPU 29% |
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 Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce GTX 980 will struggle to run Genshin Impact at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 29 FPS which is classified as "struggling". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $434 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $50 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 #5 for value).
For Genshin Impact, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce GTX 980 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 high, 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p ultra, 1440p high, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p ultra, 4k low. GPU-limited at: 4k high, 4k ultra.
Yes! Genshin Impact supports FSR 3 Frame Gen and AFMF, and your GeForce GTX 980 is compatible with FSR 3 Frame Gen. With Frame Generation enabled, you can expect a 1.5x-2x FPS multiplier on top of native framerates, significantly boosting perceived smoothness.
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 Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce GTX 980 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.
