Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSR1.0x+55% FPS
Genshin uses a manual render scale instead of DLSS/FSR. Dropping to 0.8x is the biggest GPU saving.
Shadow QualityOff+6% FPS
Character and world shadows. Medium is a clean balance toward a steady 60.
Visual EffectsLow+5% FPS
Elemental and combat effects. Lowering smooths busy multi-enemy fights.
Volumetric FogOff+4% FPS
Atmospheric fog and god-rays. Off is a small, safe saving.
ReflectionsOff+4% FPS
Water and surface reflections. Off gains a few frames near water.
Subsurface ScatteringOff+3% FPS
Soft light through skin and foliage. Cheap; nice in close-ups.
Anti-AliasingOff+3% FPS
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean; lighter modes gain a touch of FPS.
Crowd DensityLow+3% FPS
How many NPCs fill cities. Low helps in busy hubs like Mondstadt.
