My suspicion is that Genshin Impact relies on shader model 5.1 features for some of the lowest graphics settings, and they're emulated on shader model 5.0 hardware, meaning that when less are used the game runs fasterĢ. I'm serious when I say that it improves performance.

Most noticably, I can only get render resolution to 0.6, no anti-aliasing, with environment detail at lowest, but both low and medium environment detail allow me to increase the render resolution to 0.8 and use FSR 2.0 for anti-aliasingġ.2. Sometimes the way to get performance is to increase graphics settingsġ.1. Despite this, the game runs great under Boot Camp.ġ. I have a 2012 15' MacBook Pro with the 512MB GT 650m, also only supporting shader model 5.0. This Iris 5100 only supports shader model 5.0 and not 5.1 which is the minimum for Genshin Impact.
