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 37 to 66 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 35 to 64 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 28 to 49 FPS.
The GeForce GTX 950 is 47% below recommended, but 85% above minimum for Genshin Impact. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 16% above the recommended CPU (Core i7).
The GeForce GTX 950 sets the FPS ceiling at all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at all 1080p settings.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $513.38. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 37 FPS, equivalent to 0.07 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages. Adjacent heavier settings are lightly stabilized to remove prediction jitter that would otherwise create impossible reversals.
At 4k high, the GeForce GTX 950 sets the ceiling at about 44 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has headroom up to 80 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 45% (FPS gap: 36 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 8/12 cells, CPU limits 1/12, balanced 3/12.
Your GeForce GTX 950 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 7% | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 31% | GPU Limits CPU 35% | GPU Limits CPU 38% | GPU Limits CPU 41% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 33% | GPU Limits CPU 44% | GPU Limits CPU 45% | GPU Limits CPU 45% |
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 and then monotonic-smoothed across heavier presets and resolutions, not generic utilization heuristics.
See how your processor and graphics card compare against the game official minimum and recommended system specs. The placement of your hardware is calculated using relative synthetic performance scores to help you gauge overall playability.
Your CPU is 16% below recommended and your GPU is 47% below recommended, but both meet minimum specs. Playable at Low/Medium settings, 1080p or below.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D and GeForce GTX 950 will struggle to run Genshin Impact at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 37 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $513.38 ($465.38 CPU + $48 GPU). Since the GPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger GPU will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, upgrading to the GeForce GTX 980 for around $549 (Rank #79 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Genshin Impact, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The GeForce GTX 950 is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 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.
