On a NVIDIA GTX 1050 (laptop, 4GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Genshin Impact runs at roughly 60 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 40FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1050 (laptop, 4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Genshin Impact is a relatively light game to run.

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 QualityMediumbaseline
Character and world shadows. Medium is a clean balance toward a steady 60.
Visual EffectsHighbaseline
Elemental and combat effects. Lowering smooths busy multi-enemy fights.
Volumetric FogOnbaseline
Atmospheric fog and god-rays. Off is a small, safe saving.
ReflectionsOnbaseline
Water and surface reflections. Off gains a few frames near water.
Subsurface ScatteringOnbaseline
Soft light through skin and foliage. Cheap; nice in close-ups.
Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean; lighter modes gain a touch of FPS.
Crowd DensityHighbaseline
How many NPCs fill cities. Low helps in busy hubs like Mondstadt.
