01.Introduction: The Controversial 60 FPS Cap
HoYoverse enabled 120 FPS support for Apple devices, yet years later, the PC version remains officially capped at 60 FPS. Fortunately, the community developed an Unlocker that modifies the game's memory state to allow for full refresh rate fluidity.
A Note on Anti-Cheat and Bans
The use of an FPS Unlocker (such as 3dmigoto or the popular GitHub launcher) has been tolerated for years. There are no confirmed reports of mass bans solely for unlocking the frame rate. However, use it at your own risk. Never combine these tools with skin mods or active cheats.

02.Chapter 1: Native Graphics Settings (Vanilla)
Render Resolution
Recommended: 1.0 (Native)
If your PC is struggling, lower this to 0.8. It is far superior to lowering your overall monitor resolution. Avoid 0.6 as it makes the game excessively blurry.
Volumetric Fog
Recommended: Off/Low
Fog effects in regions like Inazuma or Dragonspine are heavily taxing. Disabling them makes the world appear sharper and significantly improves stability.
SFX Quality
Recommended: Low/Medium
During intense combat (Spiral Abyss), multiple simultaneous Ultimates (e.g., Kazuha + Neuvillette) can cause frame drops. Low keeps the action smooth.
03.Chapter 2: FPS Unlocker (Safe Implementation)
- Search GitHub for "Genshin Impact FPS Unlocker" (look for the repository by user '34736384').
- Download the latest executable release.
- Run the Unlocker as Administrator.
- Point the tool to your
GenshinImpact.exe(located in the game installation folder). - Set your Target FPS to 120 or 144.
- Click "Start Game." The title will now boot with the 60 FPS cap removed.
Note: You must launch the game through the Unlocker tool each time to maintain the effect.
04.Chapter 3: NVIDIA Freestyle Filters
By default, Genshin has a slightly gray/washed-out visual filter.
If you have an NVIDIA GPU, press Alt+F3 in-game.
Apply the following filters:
1. Details: Clarity +20%, Sharpen +10%.
2. Color: Vibrance +20%, Tint 0%.
This makes the world significantly more vibrant, mimicking a modern high-budget anime. It typically costs around 5 FPS.
A1.Chapter 4: Shadows and Reflections Tuning
- Shadow Quality: Medium (High is extremely taxing, while Low removes vital character shadow details). - Visual Effects: Medium. - Reflections: Off (Water reflections are not worth the massive performance hit on most hardware).
A2.Chapter 5: Anti-Aliasing (SMAA vs. TAA)
- SMAA: Sharper image, but may result in some visible aliasing (jagged edges) during movement.
- TAA: Removes almost all aliasing but can introduce a slight blur to the overall scene.
Recommendation: Use SMAA for clarity or TAA if you highly dislike jagged edges.
A3.Chapter 6: Crowd Density (NPC Management)
In major cities like Fontaine and Sumeru, the number of active NPCs is high.
Set Crowd Density to Low.
This removes irrelevant background NPCs, relieving CPU stress in urban areas without affecting quest progress.
A4.Chapter 7: Co-Op Effect Optimization
"Co-Op Teammate Effects": If you play multiplayer frequently, set this to "Partially Off."
This reduces the opacity and complexity of your allies' skill effects, allowing you to actually see enemies amidst the visual clutter.
Chapter 8: Honkai: Star Rail and ZZZ Support
Similar Unlocker tools are available for Honkai: Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero, as they share the same Unity Engine base and protection structure. The implementation process is virtually identical.
Chapter 9: The SSD Advantage for Teleportation
Long loading screens between teleports?
Genshin Impact strongly benefits from an SSD. On a traditional HDD, teleporting can take 30+ seconds. On a modern NVMe, it takes less than 3 seconds.
Chapter 10: Repairing Game Files
If the game experiences frequent crashes:
In the Launcher, click the "Hamburger" menu (three bars) next to the Play button > Repair Now.
Genshin files are prone to corruption during large version updates.
