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, all quality settings exceed 110 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 73 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 46 to 72 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 279% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for Genshin Impact. The Xeon w5-3425 is 5% above the recommended CPU (Core i7).
The Xeon w5-3425 sets the FPS ceiling at 1080p (high/ultra), 1440p (medium/high/ultra), all 4k settings, while the GeForce RTX 4090 still has headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p (low/medium), 1440p low.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $2838. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 111 FPS, equivalent to 0.04 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the Xeon w5-3425 sets the ceiling at about 46 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 94 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 51% (FPS gap: 48 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 10/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 2/12.
Your Xeon w5-3425 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) | Balanced | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 23% | CPU Limits GPU 30% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 8% | CPU Limits GPU 17% | CPU Limits GPU 32% | CPU Limits GPU 34% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 28% | CPU Limits GPU 38% | CPU Limits GPU 48% | CPU Limits GPU 51% |
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.

Yes, the Xeon w5-3425 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Genshin Impact smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 78 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 5% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $2838 ($1189 CPU (Rank #299 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your Xeon w5-3425 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 Xeon Platinum 8571N is a great upgrade option for around $599 (Rank #60 for value) while costing less than your current CPU.
Your Xeon w5-3425 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 high, 1080p ultra, 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 w5-3425 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.
