Some Genshin Impact players are experiencing performance issues during gameplay. The reasons for these performance problems may be PC specs, incorrect settings in the system, drivers. In this article, we'll look at what we can do to improve performance in Genshin Impact.

If you're experiencing frame rate drops, stuttering, freezing or low fps while playing Genshin Impact, here are some solutions that may help.

How do I fix low fps and stuttering in Genshin Impact?

1) Graphics drivers

In some cases, outdated GPU drivers cause performance issues in Genshin Impact game or even the game not working properly. So you need to update your graphics drivers.

Nvidia: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/

Don't forget to remove your outdated driver using DDU so that leftover files don't cause any problems!

6) Best Graphics Settings for Performance

I do not recommend setting the anti-aliasing to SMAA or TAA. Antialiasing causes FPS drops in Genshin Impact and even crash the game in some cases. So I suggest you turn it off for now. You can check the graphic settings in the table below.

Settings > Graphics

	Minimum System	Performance
Display Mode	Fullscreen	Fullscreen
FPS	60	60
V-Sync	Close	Close
Render Resolution	0.8	1.1
Shadow Quality	Low	Medium
Visual Effects	Lowest	Low
SFX Quality	Low	Low
Overall Settings	Lowest	Medium or High
Anti-Aliasing	None	None
Motion Blur	Close	Close

If you have trouble changing the screen mode to Fullscreen, you can press ALT + Enter to switch between Fullscreen and Windowed mode.

7) Task priority

You need to adjust this setting every time you enter the game.

• Launch the game.
• Simultaneously press the ALT and TAB keys to minimize the game.
• Open the Task Manager
• Click on Details Tab
• In the list, find the GenshinImpact.exe
• Right-click on the GenshinImpact.exe and Set priority to High or Realtime
