GENSHIN IMPACT 4.0 GRAPHIC SETTING COMPARISON 

Raiden without bloom is scary, she's like slashing the fabric of space, and with bloom on, she's majestic.

for the shadows lowest to low is the biggest jump, low is almost like the true medium for shadows

I turned off bloom on the game that I played, because it makes too much shine,, make my eyes tired quickly., it's looks beautiful but also feels uncomfortable on my eye

I wish there was low/medium/high for bloom, or a slider like in Warframe. Every game it feels like the default bloom is wayyy too much. It does not feel natural for the skin of a character or a white fabric to be very obviously emitting light, but actual lights without bloom feel so flat.

This video is very nicely done! Good job!

This video is VERY well done, good job

As a Mobile user, this is something ill never experience

Global illumination changes so much imo i instantly noticed a differnce when logging when it was intially added it makes the game look so much better

For Environment detail, it is basically render distance in minecraft. If you have low environment detail, you wont see good textures in the distance, but instead you'll only have the flat texture pasted to the geometry. High environment detail makes the game feel more expansive since you can see details further away from the character Volumetric fog gives some atmospheric perspective. You can see more detail with it off, but it honestly looks a bit bad. Guyun Stone forest becomes more visible from liyue but my god the models are low poly so it's better to have them hidden anw by volumetric fog

Anyone experiencing massive framedrops since 4.2?

Motion blur is something I will turn off by default on all games 😅

I didn't realize how much bloom and SFX quality blind you. I think I'll turn them both down when I do abyss from now on just so it's easier to see

the way i needed someone to drop the differences in graphics settings and their levels thank you my dude

As far as i remember there were micro-stutter as u said before 4.2 but not a big dial, i think the problem is now n more annoying during battles, n yes its a game problem as far as i know

Literalmente, queria un video asi... no pense que encontraria algo tan especifico xd

your spec is the kind of spec I'm looking for but although I don't know if I can still run Genshin on 8gb ram and thanks for the vid this will be very helpful for me in the future.

Attention to details, I see you're not dumb like more than 50% of ppl, liked👌

I'm happy that Fontaine isnt laggy unlike Sumeru. I can explore Fontaine even underwater on 60fps high settings with no stutter. Sumeru region really eats my poor gpu, especially the underground level of the deserts. I hope they optimize Natlan too for us peasant pc gamer. To those curious, this is my specs. Asus TUF FX505DY Ryzen 5 3550H + RX 560X 4GB 16GB RAM My Genshin settings: Max everything except Global Illumination: Off Environmental Detail: Medium Rendering Resolution: 0.9

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GUIDE HEHE

great comparision.

thanks. i didn't know what those graphics settings does. now i know.

One of the few games that does bloom well enough to have it enabled.

thank u. i never understood the diff i just set all to high

Apparently there's a bug with the enviromental detail right now. High and Very High have heavy stuttering wherever you are if you try to move the camera too fast. I believe is a streaming problem whenever the game tries to call the items back, it is absent in Medium settings. I say this as someone that has a steady 60 all the time except whenver I moved my camera

THANKS

To me, my Environmental detail is set to lowest as for a game like Genshin, it doesn't really matter. The main reason why I keep it at lowest as it significantly increases game loading timings.

I currently have only the environmental detail, visual effect and shadow on high or highest. Everything else is medium. Render is 1, but might see if I can increase it a little. Fog is off. Crowd Density is low. I forgot what my filtering is, but the motion blur is off because it makes me nauseous. Bloom is on, but all the brightness hurts sometimes so I might turn it off again. Reflection is on. Mind you, my PC has an HDR feature. I set it all to high before and boy was I floored at how beautiful this game can be!

I always have nightshift activated, makes everything look warm and cozy XD

for me, reflections and global illumination were the biggest updates we got and it makes the game look so much better - - - - i just wish my gpu didnt chug as much as it does when im at the fortress of meropide 😅 anywhere else it seems to be fine but in meropide oooooh boy, since everything down there is basically made of metal (or is damp) the reflections eat up so much fps and it lags a tiny bit

It's even better then in many tripple A projects... And it's still a mobile game and is written on Unity... Mihoyo sad that they will have changed a gear next summer, so it will be even better...

I just wish there were higher framerate options

I took my time to compare the different graphics to see what probably are the graphics settings in PS4 (at least PS4 Pro) if someone like me was curious, and this are the conclusions Resolution: Presumably native 2160p (or 1080p if the output isn't 2160p or Supersampling is not enabled) with TAA or FSR (yes, FSR) as antialiasing at 30FPS. Why FSR and presumably native 4k? Because when I set the resolution to 1080 my console doesn't make any noise and the game looks noticeably less sharp (even doing the trick to render at 1080 but having a 2160p output) and when I change to 2160 the console start to make a lot more noise, also I reinforce this with the video of ElAnalistaDeBits. And i think that is using FSR as AA because when Hoyo decided to remove FXAA and TAA I notice the artifacts that everyone was talking about in the moment, like those little distortions on Paimon when Diona's shield is active, but I don't know if it's using TAA again. Bloom: ON (is noticeable at simple view, and is probably on MEDIUM at least). Shadows: surprisingly there are in HIGH (I thought that they where be in MEDIUM, but in MEDIUM you can't see the spaces between Keching's hair and the holes in the waving parts of her clothes). Environmental Detail: After using my inexistent geoguesser habilities and being like 30 minutes searching the spot, I found it. And the setting could be MEDIUM or HIGH, those two look practically the same in that scene. Reflections: ON (like the Bloom, noticeable at simple view. And the quality level shoud be at least MEDIUM). Volumetric Fog: ON (again, noticeable at simple view. And if have quality levels, most probably is MEDIUM). Global Illumination: at least MEDIUM (the light colouring is there, but I don't see too much difference between the levels to say if is one or other). Anisotropic Filtering: the level should be x4 or x8 (it exist the probability that it uses x16 because I cannot see the distinctive line when this graphic setting is in a low value but i don't know). Motion Blur: the only graphic setting (if we don't count V-Sync and Brightness as one of them) that is available to set from Off to Very High, so that's on you Crowd Density: if it isn't in HIGH is in MEDIUM (also i have to mention that probably there was a error in the second example). Visual Effect: I didn't notice any difference between LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH. I remember when I tried the game in my PC that one of those graphics settings affects the visual effects of the HUD and I guess some effects in the 3D world so probably is this one, in that case, the most possible setting is MEDIUM or HIGH (I'm gonna skip the part where I was searching the first spot for like 2 hours T_T) If there was some misspellings or grammar errors is because this is not my native language so... ¿I'm apologize? To add something extra, I'm pretty sure that the PS5 version have every setting set to the maximum and (obviously) uncapped to 60FPS (I don't know if it supports 120fps), and if the PS4 Pro doesn't run the game at native 4k, the PS5 one does

I love how it doesn't take a top quality graphics card to get the best settings and still have amazing graphics. I have a 1080 and only run CP77 on medium graphics if I want to stay above 40 fps.

I love the addition of Fsr(which is not here) 2.0 as it helps low spec pc player with resolution scale below 1.0. Also looks good in my opinion to sharpen image quality which my shit blurry eyes like.

The visual effects at the end didn't have enough of a difference to burden my processor

thank you i can choose my graphics now

in my monitor genshin forces me to run at 4k if i want the game to fill the whole screen (even though it is 2560 x1080) since it is ultrawide, idk if it is a common bug, other than that, genshin its the only game i think would benefit from ray tracing, i think it is a bealtiful game, but it could be even better.

I like how most of it looks great at low/medium already.

刻晴可愛い。

Finally my monkey brain now know what all the setting are for thank youu so much

when i see this, it scream i need a new computer xD I'm on lowest of all settings except for resolution i'm at 1.0 and i still get a lot of lags at random moment and sometimes when i switch character the model is full black or half splitted (and i get only one half) for around 2 sec and sometimes they are in low-poly for around 4 secs

di statue of seven region baru 4.2 yang deket opera dan kamera ngarah ke area situ sih bang kalo di saya yang paling berat. ryzen 5 2600 usagenya bisa sampe 80%, gpu cmn 30-40% an. fps drop sampe 30-40an. performanya udh mirip2 sama battlefield 5 ini 💀

some of these options i didnt know it existed then i rememberes im a mobile player

wish we could uncap fps, or at least go up to 120 like mobile for some reason

damnnn i hope i will get pc that can run this on highest setting

Bloom effect almost make my eyes goes blind 😂😂😂

I'll have nightmares about Raiden's voice in slow motion

I love and hate bloom at the same time. It makes everything look really nice but it'll blind me

Im running a 3070 Ti with a 12600K, I used to have a TON of microstutters which used to annoy the crap out of me, so just for anyone experiencing try 2 things: Turn off fsr and make sure uve a good cpu cooler (temps under control with cpu performance headroom)

So if you want a Vergil in genshin, play raiden with bloom off

Cries in Intel HD graphics

The only setting I don’t have maxed is motion blur, that goes right off haha

Idk why Bloom looks so wierd on my monitor...its so much better for me without bloom

Render resolution Environment detail Shadows That’s all you need to be on High or highest and the game will look perfect. Everything can be turned off or low or lowest.

Thats why Raiden feels different

Two main settings that affect performance are render resolution and render details

Visual effects are mostly skills and attacks in general bruh

I got all to low just to reach 160 fps.😂

Just crank everything to high and turn off motion blur and your set.

Eh, i just decrease the brightness in the graphic setting, with bloom, and my eyes are comfortable with it. But when i increase the brightness again, it surely is too bright for my eyes

Hmmm.. I ve been playing on maximal settings since got into genshin... Maybe I should consider to turn off something, cause it could look better

I turn shadow low cuz soft shadow are more beautiful for me

genshin really needs to up their frame rate

Bloom was instantly off the moment I started playing 2 years ago. SFX also lowest setting. Some settings are very good to get performance if you're on a budget PC, you barely notice a difference. But others, like shadows, if you turn them off it's a major loss in quality.

Bloom is so pretty but it gives me a headache 💔

Coming from mobile device to a pc which can max out everything

Bruh using ddr 3 ram 😭 omg legend

Bloom. Stays. On. I don't care what game or if it literally kills my device. THE BLOOM. STAYS. ON

the very first setting need to be turn off is motion blur in every games

This is like kequing teaching me

What does anisotropic filtering, subsurface scattering( last options), and global illumination do ?

my laptop turned on fans just watching it

い゛な゛びがり゛ずな゛わ゛ぢえ゛い゛え゛ん゛な゛り゛！

Genshin impact depende muito de bloom para seus efeitos

damn you put gtx 1660 super on i7 3770? you are an psycho man broooo (anw, i7 gen 3 quiet powerful and be able match up with gtx 1660 super) and btw, on 5:36, seems you put wrong clip..

Bloom needs a slider.

The lower the shadow settings the more realistic it looks actually

Почему у этого человека на дальних объектах даже на 0.6 настройках рендеринга нет пиксельной лесенки?

I crank up all the settings except Environment detail. I can easily get 60 fps in almost any place (i'ts so hard on sumeru desert though) when environment detail on medium. I wonder what pc component should i upgrade to max out environment detail (8gb ram. Ryzen 5 2400g. RX 580 8gb) Any answer would be appreciated. I really love this game. Nice video btw

If only they could add low medium and high bloom on mobile and not just on and off💀

I am the man who's turn off the bloom, I hate shiny shiny thing splash my eyes, especially when instant burst in a row....

i run genshin at 30 fps max in lowest and thats enough for me

The lowest setting is the best for Prop Hunt event but I always set it up to Highest without Bloom cuz that's really hurts my eyes in every game, I dunnu why they love that. I just hope they will add 120 or Unlimited FPS.

Wow thats an old CPU, wonder what games can it still handle today.

1:25 not me reading it as "sex quality" 😭

do you have any cooler for your cpu?

wait, if raiden shogun can pull her sword out of her chest, can't she put it back in chest instead of imitating a scabber when she stops attacking

i always turn off bloom and motion blur on every game if the option allow me to. it hurt my eyes and brain.

Why doesn't this person have a pixel ladder on distant objects even at 0.6 rendering settings?

My trees are ugly and almost everything is grainy how do I fix my graphics (pc)

А как ты на старых версиях в фонтейне стоишь

a how to render 1.3?

I need 50% of bloom

If I see no difference on it I just turn everything off or put it on the lowest setting.

I use Ryzen 3 3200g..in game, the bloom is too bright..wat the hekkk..i see all cutscene , example paimon..wow, can't the the face 100% ,i just see white only..hahha, now i put gpu rx580..yeah, its normal now..i can run genshin in medium setting..

still waiting for ray traced reflections

SFX is sound effect or special effect?

So bloom is just built-in HDR

4:55, dude whats with your fov?

5:46 Visual effect . Where is the difference?
