Can the NVIDIA GTX 960M (laptop, 4GB) run Genshin Impact? (2026)

👍 Yes, with tuned settings

~57 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA GTX 960M (laptop, 4GB) is a entry-level card with 4GB of VRAM, and Genshin Impact is a relatively light game to run. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 57 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 28 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	28	57
1440p	17	34
4K	10	19

💡 Genshin Impact: Capped at 60 FPS by default — aim for a steady 60.

At 1080p expect around 57 FPS, at 1440p about 34 FPS, and at 4K roughly 19 FPS with optimized settings. Genshin Impact doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
