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 46 to 68 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 44 to 65 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 34 to 54 FPS.
The Radeon R9 390X is 8% below recommended, but 221% above minimum for Genshin Impact. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 16% above the recommended CPU (Core i7).
At lower resolutions (all 1080p settings), the Ryzen 7 9800X3D sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (all 1440p settings, all 4k settings), the Radeon R9 390X becomes the FPS-limiting side.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $535.38. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 46 FPS, equivalent to 0.09 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 Radeon R9 390X sets the ceiling at about 48 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has headroom up to 80 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 40% (FPS gap: 32 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 8/12 cells, CPU limits 4/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon R9 390X 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 16% | CPU Limits GPU 15% | CPU Limits GPU 13% | CPU Limits GPU 10% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 30% | GPU Limits CPU 32% | GPU Limits CPU 32% | GPU Limits CPU 35% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 30% | GPU Limits CPU 38% | GPU Limits CPU 40% | GPU Limits CPU 40% |
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 8% below recommended, but both meet minimum specs. Playable at Low/Medium settings, 1080p or below.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D and Radeon R9 390X will struggle to run Genshin Impact at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 46 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $535.38 ($465.38 CPU + $70 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 1080 for around $599 (Rank #86 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Genshin Impact, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon R9 390X 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. CPU fully utilized at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p 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.
