Open Paimon Menu > Settings > Graphics, set Graphics Quality to Low, and test the same short route with the FPS counter or visible animation. Lower Shadow Quality, Special Effects, and resolution only if the Low preset still drops frames. Keep the highest settings that hold a steady frame rate; registry edits and third-party FPS unlockers are not part of this guide.
Load your normal server and stand at the start of a short route that regularly stutters. Turn the camera through the same view, run the same path, and use the same combat action for every test. Note the usual FPS if you already have a trusted counter; otherwise watch for the same visible pauses and uneven camera movement.

Apply Genshin Impact's Low preset
Open Paimon Menu > Settings > Graphics and set Graphics Quality to Low. Return to the world and repeat the route once. Do not change Windows, the GPU control panel, or several other options at the same time, because then you cannot tell what improved the result.
3
Pick a frame-rate limit the PC can hold
Return to Settings > Graphics and set FPS to 60 only if the route stays close to 60. If it repeatedly falls far below that target, use 30 FPS and run the route again. A steady limit gives smoother frame pacing than a target the PC reaches only while standing still.
4
Reduce Genshin's expensive options
If the Low preset still stutters, keep Graphics Quality on Custom and lower Shadow Quality and Special Effects first. Lower Render Resolution or the display resolution one step only if those two changes are not enough. Repeat the route after each change and stop when the result is stable.
5
Test V-Sync for tearing or uneven motion
If the picture tears across the screen or frame pacing remains uneven, turn V-Sync on in Settings > Graphics and repeat the same camera turn. Keep it on only when that exact test looks smoother; otherwise restore the previous value.
6
Verify resources if performance changed after an update
On the login screen, select the wrench icon, or open Paimon Menu > Settings > Resources > Check Resource Integrity. Let Genshin Impact finish checking and replacing files, then repeat the route with the same graphics profile.
7
Keep the measured profile
Success means the same route finishes with steadier camera motion and fewer repeated drops at an acceptable image quality. Raise one setting at a time only after that result is stable. If the Low preset remains slow, save a DxDiag report and send HoYoverse your CPU, GPU, RAM, settings screenshot, UID, and the exact problem instead of adding registry tweaks.
If it does not work
If FPS is good at first and falls after several minutes, let the PC cool, clear blocked vents, and repeat the same route. Keep the lower FPS cap if the longer test now stays stable.
If FPS is low only while a browser, recorder, or stream is open, close that specific app and repeat the route. Do not end unknown Windows processes or disable security software as a general performance step.
If animation is smooth but attacks register late or characters jump position, the problem is network latency rather than render performance; leave the graphics profile alone and troubleshoot the connection.
If the resource check repeatedly replaces files, confirm the installation drive has enough free space before downloading the game again.
ⓘ Sources and verification
Checked against official documentation on . Scope: Genshin Impact on Windows PC.
HoYoverse documents the graphics path and the main settings to reduce. The final frame rate depends on the reader's hardware, scene, resolution, and heat, so this guide uses a repeatable comparison rather than promising a number.
