This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k high, the Xeon Platinum 8470 sets the ceiling at about 30 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 97 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 69% (FPS gap: 67 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Xeon Platinum 8470 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 33% | CPU Limits GPU 35% | CPU Limits GPU 45% | CPU Limits GPU 44% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 42% | CPU Limits GPU 48% | CPU Limits GPU 58% | CPU Limits GPU 57% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 60% | CPU Limits GPU 64% | CPU Limits GPU 69% | CPU Limits GPU 69% |
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 Xeon Platinum 8470 + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 15% and 36% and GPU utilization between 14% and 72%. Xeon Platinum 8470 keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce RTX 4090 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 24% at 1080p to 61% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 28% to 29%.
The utilization pattern is relatively even. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 62% average at its highest-load preset, while the Xeon Platinum 8470 peaks at 32% average. This suggests a fairly controlled load distribution, but the actual FPS-limiting side should still be read from the limiter analysis above.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 28% and GPU 24%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 28% and GPU 41%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 29% and GPU 61%. This shows that GPU demand scales sharply with resolution while CPU load remains comparatively stable.
4K (Ultra HD) Ultra is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 18% (15-21%) and GPU 62% (52-72%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Xeon Platinum 8470 remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Xeon Platinum 8470 and GeForce RTX 4090 remain reasonably matched for this title.
Understanding Hardware Utilization: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. They describe hardware load, but they do not directly tell you which component sets the FPS ceiling.
Important: a CPU or GPU can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. Two processors can both show 40% usage and still deliver very different frame rates, depending on per-core speed, cache, engine threading, driver overhead, and frame preparation efficiency.

Yes, the Xeon Platinum 8470 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Genshin Impact smoothly up to 1080p achieving around 87 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 161% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $11008 ($9359 CPU (Rank #495 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your Xeon Platinum 8470 provides phenomenal top-tier performance but at a premium enthusiast price. Since you are essentially at the ceiling of current hardware capabilities, there are no meaningful performance upgrades available. However, if you wanted a more cost-effective build that still delivers a great experience, you could theoretically step down to a high-end processor with a significantly better value rating. For example, the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9985WX is a great upgrade option for around $7999 (Rank #378 for value) while costing less than your current CPU.
Your Xeon Platinum 8470 is already an incredibly powerful processor. While it's technically the first component to hit its limit (which is completely normal in state-of-the-art builds), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Genshin Impact performance right now. CPU fully utilized 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 Xeon Platinum 8470 and GeForce RTX 4090 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.
