running insanely poor on my custom built pc

I recently finished building my first PC. these are the specs: (lmk if I need to specify
other things, I'm not entirely sure what information is important here)
Windows 11
AMD Ryzen 7 9700X 8-Core Processor
2TB of SSD
16GB Ram (I have 32GB actually but I'm having some other issues with getting the computer to accept 2 ram sticks, so currently only 16)
AMD Radeon Graphics 512MBytes
The game is literally unplayable at any quality higher than lowEST. not low, LOWEST. any higher quality and the lag is at least a full 2 seconds behind whatever movements I make. I am beyond frustrated right now and I don't understand why my computer can't handle it? my iPad pro runs it 1000x better at HIGH quality too which makes me even more frustrated. can anyone give me any ideas on what could be wrong? all my drivers are updated, I changed graphics settings in game, changed settings on my PC itself and set genshins running priority to highest, uninstalled and reinstalled the game, and so far nothing has worked. I'd prefer not to have to play the game at the lowest quality so any help would be appreciated 🙃

No GPU, good luck running it any better. The minimum requirements list 2GB VRAM

sorry for my poor descriptions, I believe I was looking at the wrong thing. this is my graphics card: ASRock AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT Challenger Overclocked Dual Fan 16GB GDDR6 PCIe 5.0 Graphics Card

Yeah, seems like you don't have a GPU.

Glad it's all fixed! Usually people do tend to plug their display device into the MB and not the GPU.

northernoverture2026-01-17 09:23

plugging into mobo usually doesn't lead to issues these days but yeah it's probably running off the iGPU as Windows sometimes doesn't know what GPU to run a game off of

No graphics card? Well that explains why the game isn't running.

They cannot run it, their iGPU is literally well below the minimum requirements for VRAM.

Different iGPU

Ok-Committee-99102026-01-17 07:40

The Steam Deck's iGPU was a dedicated iGPU to run games. It cannot be compared to the iGPU in 9700x, whose main purpose was to provide a display. 9700x iGPU has 4 rops, while steam deck iGPU has 16 rops.

I see, thanks for the info. I am going to delete my misinformation then.

iGPUs don't have *any* VRAM.

iGPUs are a part of the CPU, and share system RAM with the rest of the CPU. Unless you mess around with the BIOS settings, the system will dynamically allocate up to half of the total system memory to the GPU.

He's probably getting that 512MB from GPU-Z or something, which is probably just reporting the minimum amount of reserved memory for the iGPU.

In practice, the iGPU has access to way more memory than it can realistically use.

You need a proper GPU, this AMD Radeon you got there is the integrated GPU chip which comes with your processor and it's shit most of times.

no worries, glad you got it sorted! enjoy your new pc :)

katbelleinthedark2026-01-17 07:40

Where's the graphics card?

After looking at the edit I’d be willing to bet you’re plugged into the MOBO rather than the GPU

Practical_Plan62092026-01-17 07:44

thank you!! I'm gonna check this out I really hope that's all that was wrong lol

NIN7H2026-01-17 07:45

If it’s not then next step is reseating the GPU and most likely using DDU to remove the drivers and reinstall them.

Practical_Plan62092026-01-17 07:46

thank you so much I appreciate it! I'm gonna look into this thank you for your help

Practical_Plan62092026-01-17 18:45

yup it was 🤦 thank you for your help! it's working perfectly now

Re: RAM issues: Check if your motherboard has a BIOS update. RAM compatibility is something that occasionally gets addressed.

Also, a general notice on selecting parts, if this build was primarily meant to be a gaming PC, then your CPU and GPU are a bit mismatched. The CPU is way faster than what the GPU can keep up with, and gaming is typically GPU limited anyways (exceptions are generally simulation games, like Cities Skylines)
