Genshin Impact is being left behind in DLSS support

So far in Hoyoverse's games that are available for the PC, Star Rail a few patches ago started to support DLSS and FSR3 , and now news that Zenless is already readying itself for a future patch for DLSS implementation

Its such a shame that Hoyoverse's Genshin Impact Beloved as it is by many players has yet to have real DLSS implementation

I fear that talks and rumors of the game's spaghetti code being the possible reason for it not having QOL updates as fast as the other games in the Hoyoverse library

I hope that the developers are at least aware that some of the people playing would like it as a option just to partake in Nvidia's features

Additionally I would like to ask the community if someone knows of a way to implement DLSS to Genshin Impact Forcefully , and if that is safe for the game

Fun Fact.

QOL tends to bounce between games. They do it in one, and if it works, then do it in another, and so on.

For example, Genshin was the first to allow picking substats for artifacts, and then HSR got it.

and ZZZ just got it in the recent update

Not sure why would I want DLSS even the game can run smoothly on any DLSS-capable nvidia GPU.

I think improving FSR quality or addin generic XeSS support that is supported by iGPU in laptop APU makes more sense.

I was about to say this lol. I have a 2060 and my game runs perfectly fine. I don’t see the benefit as of right now.

There's an implementation of DLSS called DLAA which basically upscales the game to higher than native resolution, then crunches that back down, as a form of antialiasing.

Basically MSAA/SSAA but with a lower performance penalty.

What is DLSS?

AI upscaling.

AI upscaling for games. It's used a lot these days in modern games as a crutch because optimization is now treated as a dirty word by AAA studios.

Genshin doesn't really need it though, it can run at 60FPS even on 4K on a fairly ok GPU. Though what I would like is if they unlocked 120FPS, I don't want to use hacks to play at higher framerates.

It'd be nice but Genshin really doesn't need it, at least until the game properly supports higher than 60 FPS, or they add raytracing. I can't imagine any GPU that can use DLSS is currently having trouble running Genshin at 60 with good-looking visuals. HSR's support for it is kind of a meme considering it's a turn-based game and also doesn't support over 60 FPS without registry tweaks or certain v-sync shenanigans. ZZZ actually needs it so hopefully they implement that soon.

For Genshin you can at least enable Smooth Motion on 40/50-series GPUs to safely get 120 FPS via frame generation. It's driver-level and not engine-level so it's a bit more prone to artifacting, especially on 2D elements like the HUD, but it's not too bothersome. Well worth it for the smoothness, in my opinion.

Hsr needs it for the numbers vomit naturally. They also gotta add two new digits to the damage numbers the coming anni, how else they gonna sell

Fluid-Sort-76992026-01-09 08:31

Why would that be important. I have seen what the use of DLSS do to a game especially the developers. It makes them lazy to the point that they don't optimize games on launch anymore and just tell people to use DLSS.
Genshin is certainly the game that need it the least with HSR. Zzz I can see the use.

Mitts0092026-01-09 20:04

I agree , I was hoping we can get DLSS without the devs slacking off

Having DLSS adds a backbone support and could also mean FSR3 which will help a lot of older PCs out there including myself

issm2026-01-09 22:26

\*Looks at GPU idling at 30% utilization while running Genshin at 4k\*

I'd settle for uncapped FPS.

People in the comments don't understand how dlss works, not only does it make the game run faster but makes it look better at the same time, dlss 4.5 quality looks better than native most of the time
