1) Tweak In-Game Settings

The first thing you need to od is tweak the in-game settings for Genshin Impact. This will help you optimize the graphics for your PC and let the game run smoothly.

Here is how that can be done:

First, open Epic Game Launcher and go to the Library section to launch Genshin Impact.

Next, click on Settings, followed by the Graphics tab.

Under the Graphics option, set the Graphics Quality to Custom.
Make the Display Mode to Fullscreen and then go to the Custom section.
You need to set the FPS to 60 and turn off the V-Sync. Also, set the Render Resolution to 0.6
Now, set the Shadow Quality, Visual Effects, SFX Quality, and Environment Details to Lowest.

Then, turn off Anti-Alising, Volumetric Fog, Reflections, Motion Blur, and Bloom.
Finally, keep the Crowd Density low and turn off Co-op Teammate effects.

After you have made the changes, restart your game to apply the settings. If this doesn’t solve the issue, then you need to change the configuration window.

2) Change The Configuration Window

Next you need to tweak the settings in the configuration window. Follow and make the changes as shown to fix lag on Genshin Impact:

Open the Genshin Impact Launcher. Press and hold the Shift key and then click on Launch. Keep holding the Shift key until Genshin Impact Configuration window pops up.
Select 800 x 600 Screen Resolution, set the Graphics Quality to Fastest, and ensure the Windowed box is unchecked.

Now, you need to open the Windows Settings by pressing the Windows + I key.
Finally, click on System, then Display.

Set the Display Resolution to 800 x 600

After you have made the necessary changes, check whether the issue persists. If the problem persists, then close the unnecessary apps running in the background.

3) Close Unnecessary Apps

Closing the unnecessary apps that are running in the background can boost gaming performance. So, close the unnecessary apps when you are getting lag on Genshin Impact.

This is how you can do it:

First, right-click on the Start menu and select Task Manager.

In the Processes tab, check for any unnecessary processes, right-click on them, and select the End Task option.

4) Set To High Priority

If there are multiple processes running in the background, then set Genshin Impact to high Priority. This will force the PC to allocate more resources for running the game.

Here is how you can do it:

First, you need to open the Task Manager and then go to the Details tab.
Next, right-click on the Genshin Impact exe process and then move the cursor to Set Priority and click on High.

Now, run the game and check whether Genshin Impact is still lagging. If it is, you need to update the Graphics driver.

5) Update Graphics Driver

Outdated graphics drivers can be the reason why you are getting game lags. You should always keep your drivers updated to avoid such issues and boost gaming performance.

Here are the steps to update your graphics driver:

Right-click on the Windows Start button and open Device Manager.

Next, look for Display Adapters and expand it.

Right-click on the Graphics driver and select Update driver.

Now, click on Search automatically for drivers.

Wait for Windows to download and install the updates. Restart your PC.

In the case of the Nvidia graphics card, use GeForce Experience to update the graphics driver. You can download and install it from Nvidia’s official website.

Run the app and click on Drivers. Check if any new driver is available, and download and install them.

In the case of AMD graphics cards, the process is the same but they uses the Radeon software instead of GeForce Experience.

Finally, run the app and check for any available drivers. After downloading and installing the latest drivers restart your PC.

6) Reinstall The Graphics Driver

If updating the graphics driver also doesn’t fix the lag and stutters, then reinstall the graphics driver.

Here is how you can do it:

Right-click on the Start menu and select Device Manager.

Now, expand the Display Adapters and right-click on the Graphics driver.
Then, select Uninstall Device and follow the onscreen instructions.

After the driver gets uninstalled, you need to install it.
