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.
