About Genshin Impact
Genshin Impact is one of the most demanding mobile games ever shipped — a sprawling open world with real-time weather, volumetric lighting and dense combat effects. It exposes graphics presets (Lowest, Low, Medium, High) plus a 60 FPS toggle that flagship silicon is required to hold steady; most phones settle at 30 FPS on the higher presets. Fine-grained sliders for Render Resolution, Shadow Quality, FX Quality, Motion Blur, Crowd Density and Anti-Aliasing let you claw back frames. Because it leans so hard on the GPU and thermals, only current flagships reach a sustained 60 FPS on High — everyone else trades presets for stability.
Best mobile settings
Three curated profiles — max FPS for competitive, balanced, and HD graphics.
High-FPS / Performance
The smoothest, lowest-latency setup — Lowest preset with the 60 FPS toggle on and every heavy effect dialled back, so even upper-mid phones can chase a stable 60 in open-world exploration and Abyss runs.
| Setting | Value | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Graphics Preset | Lowest (Custom) | Baseline for the most frames; individual sliders raised selectively below. |
| Frame Rate | 60 FPS | The single biggest smoothness win — but only sustainable if the rest stays low. |
| Render Resolution | 0.8 | Sub-native render is the largest GPU saving in the whole menu. |
| Shadow Quality | Off | Removes a constant GPU cost with minimal gameplay impact. |
| FX Quality | Low | Cuts combat particle load in busy multi-enemy fights. |
| Motion Blur | Off | Keeps the camera crisp while running and dashing. |
| Crowd Density | Low | Fewer NPCs in cities eases CPU and frame pacing. |
| Anti-Aliasing | Off | — |
| Volumetric Fog | Off | Expensive atmospheric effect; big saver in foggy regions. |
| Co-Op Teammate Effects | Partially Off | Reduces particle spam in 4-player co-op. |
Balanced
A clean Medium look with the 60 FPS toggle on for capable phones — nice scenery without the thermal spikes of the top preset. Mid-range devices should drop to 30 FPS here for stability.
| Setting | Value | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Graphics Preset | Medium (Custom) | — |
| Frame Rate | 60 FPS (30 on mid-range) | Flagships hold 60; mid-range chips run cooler and steadier at 30. |
| Render Resolution | 1.0 | Native render — sharp without the cost of supersampling. |
| Shadow Quality | Medium | — |
| FX Quality | Medium | — |
| Motion Blur | Low | — |
| Crowd Density | Low | Left low to keep cities smooth even in the balanced profile. |
| Anti-Aliasing | SMAA / FSR | Cheap edge cleanup that looks much better than Off. |
| Volumetric Fog | On | — |
High / Flagship
Maximum fidelity — High preset with supersampled resolution and every effect on. Only current flagships hold 60 FPS here, and even they will warm up; expect throttling in long open-world sessions.
| Setting | Value | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Graphics Preset | High (Custom) | — |
| Frame Rate | 60 FPS (flagship only) | Sustained 60 on High is realistically limited to current flagship silicon. |
| Render Resolution | 1.2 | Supersampled for extra sharpness — a heavy GPU cost. |
| Shadow Quality | High | — |
| FX Quality | High | — |
| Motion Blur | High | — |
| Crowd Density | High | Fully populated cities; hardest on frame pacing. |
| Anti-Aliasing | TAA / SMAA | — |
| Volumetric Fog | On | — |
| Co-Op Teammate Effects | All On | — |

Optimization tips
- 1
Close background apps and enable your phone's game / performance mode before long open-world sessions to free up thermal headroom.
- 2
Render Resolution is the single most powerful slider — dropping to 0.8–0.9 recovers more frames than any preset change while barely touching detail.
- 3
Turn Shadow Quality off and Motion Blur off first; they cost the most for the least visible benefit on a phone screen.
- 4
This game runs hot — a clip-on cooler or removing the case does more for a stable 60 FPS than any setting, especially in cities and the Abyss.
- 5
If your phone can't hold 60, lock to a rock-steady 30 rather than letting it swing — consistent frame pacing feels far better than a fluctuating 45.
- 6
Match the frame-rate toggle to your display: 60 FPS on a 60Hz panel is plenty, and it saves battery and heat over forcing higher.
