Genshin Impact Minimum Requirements

[MichelleA503]

Konnichiwa ^^

 

I hope you're all doing great. I wanted to ask about your opinion regarding my laptop to run Genshin Impact, I've been playing the game on Mobile but my hands get sweaty and I don't enjoy it that much after a while. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad E470.

 

I tried UserBenchmark to give you all an idea and just pasted the text which said "forum":

 

UserBenchmarks: Game 7%, Desk 61%, Work 6%
CPU: Intel Core i5-7200U - 62.9%
GPU: Intel HD 620 (Mobile Kaby Lake) - 5.7%
HDD: Seagate ST500LM021-1KJ152 500GB - 60.8%
RAM: Kingston 9905663-030.A00G Hynix HMA81GS6AFR8N-UH 24GB - 63.5%
MBD: Lenovo 20H10039LM

 

This is the link after the benchmark

 

I tried it before and seemed to play nicely but it crashed without reason. Then I realized it had something to do with updates since other games which played fine before were not playable anymore. Now I fixed this and would like to reinstall Genshin Impact. Any advices to improve my system? I'm a highschool student and this was my brother's old laptop. I don't have any money (but could ask for an ssd for christmas). 

 

I would appreciate a lot some help. Me and Paimon would love to see each other trough the PC

The official minimum spec is a GT 1030. While you probably don't need a dGPU to run the game, it sounds like you're running out of VRAM, as the minimum spec for that is 2GB. Try allocating more memory to your iGPU.

Do you play on max settings? I actually tried the game yesterday for a few minutes and there are quite a lot of graphical settings. If the above guy is correct and you have VRAM issues you could easily fix it by lowering settings. There is even a resolution scale dropdown which lets you play at x0.5 which makes it pixelated but at least it would work better. Try lowering settings bit by bit and see if it still crashes.

 

Here is how you do what the above poster said though I've never done it myself

iGPU memory is allocated dynamically as needed depending on how much RAM is free, it's not like the old days where you had to have a fixed iGPU memory allocated, he has 24GB of RAM and that is plenty for what he needs to do, the crash is likely caused by something else

[Gamer Schnitzel]

I doubt he has 24 GB RAM very much. If you google the laptop name it says 4 GB. Probs just entered it incorrectly.

I still recommend lowering settings and seeing if it stops crashing.

It is indeed 24GB of RAM. I don't really know how integrated GPUs work but it should help, right?

 

I just tried the game and it crashed after a few minutes. Everything at its lowest (without any additional tweaks yet) nor on my laptop or in the game (only the regular menu graphic settings).

You can try what the guy said and move more RAM to your iGPU but you have to go into your BIOS which they explain here. Try 2 GB since that seems to be the minimum for this game.

Thankyou ^^

 

I will try this and update on the topic soon.

I tried everything on those links and the VRAM doesn't seem to go up.

 

 

It's stuck in 128 MB

 

Any idea of what might be happening?

[Mark Kaine]

is there no error message when it crashes?

 

also you could check event viewer what's causing the crash... any info could help finding out what's the issue.

 

 

yes it may be Vram but that doesn't really make too much sense either as the Intel gpu will just use system memory *by default* (outside those meager 128mb)

not sure what the performance difference is between the integrated graphics on the 7th gen vs the 10th gen is but with 16gb of ram total i was able to run the game at max settings without any issues.  Not sure what the frame rate was but it didn't feel aweful.
