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 56 to 64 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 58 to 64 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 41 to 56 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 279% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for Genshin Impact. The Xeon E5-2643 v4 is 17% below minimum CPU requirement.
The Xeon E5-2643 v4 determines the performance ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the GPU has headroom.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $2204. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 62 FPS, equivalent to 0.03 FPS per dollar.

At 1080p high, the Xeon E5-2643 v4 sets the ceiling at about 56 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 142 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 61% (FPS gap: 86 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Xeon E5-2643 v4 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 54% | CPU Limits GPU 57% | CPU Limits GPU 61% | CPU Limits GPU 61% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 38% | CPU Limits GPU 40% | CPU Limits GPU 46% | CPU Limits GPU 48% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 44% | CPU Limits GPU 49% | CPU Limits GPU 53% | CPU Limits GPU 56% |
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.
The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

Yes, the Xeon E5-2643 v4 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Genshin Impact smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 62 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 68% below the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $2204 ($555 CPU + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Since the CPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger processor will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, the Xeon Platinum 8454H is a great upgrade option for around $6540 (Rank #1 for value).
For Genshin Impact, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Xeon E5-2643 v4 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 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.
