It is imperative that you check your system first and make sure that your PC meets the minimum or recommended specifications. You may find them on the game's official website or on Steam. In a nutshell, they are:

Minimum

  • Intel Core i3 Processor
  • 6 GB of RAM
  • Discrete graphics card (Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 or higher)
  • 64-bit Windows 7
  • 20GB storage

Recommended

  • Intel Core i7 Processor
  • 8 GB of RAM
  • Discrete graphics card (Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 or higher)
  • 64-bit Windows 10 (or higher)
  • 20GB storage

Even a $400 laptop will be able to run the game with ease. You may have to upgrade your PC if it does not meet the requirements (or lower your settings instead).


Graphics

A second step you will need to take is to adjust your graphics settings in Honkai Star Rail. The most important thing you need to consider is the frame rate and rendering quality.

For PC users, the frame rate is capped at 60 frames per second. Depending on how well your system performs, you can consider reducing it to 30 frames per second. However, most systems will be fine with 60.

In Honkai Star Rail's Settings section, go to Graphics and choose Custom. There are several options that you can tweak here, such as resolution, anti-aliasing, shadows, textures, effects, and more. The Graphics settings are available in the main menu under Settings.

It is recommended to set the resolution to Full Screen and turn off V-Sync to avoid input lag and screen tearing issues. You can also lower some of the other options if you want to boost your FPS even further.


Optimization
