With GeForce Now, the only thing you need to download is the service’s app, through which you can play hundreds of games on your Mac, including Genshin Impact.

Tips to get better performance with Genshin Impact on GeForce Now

• Use a wired Ethernet connection or 5G Wi-Fi: A wired connection can provide a more stable and faster internet connection compared to Wi-Fi, which can result in smoother gameplay. Alternatively, if Ethernet isn’t an option, then you can at least use 5G Wi-Fi, as this will provide you with a significantly improved latency compared to a standard 2.4 GHz connection.
• Check your internet speed: You’ll need a minimum internet speed of 15 Mbps to use GeForce Now, but a faster internet connection will provide better performance. Use a speed test tool to check your internet speed and make sure it meets the recommended requirements.
• Close unnecessary applications: Running too many applications in the background can slow down your computer’s performance and affect your gameplay. Close any unnecessary applications before launching GeForce Now to free up system resources.
• Choose the right server location: GeForce Now has servers in different regions, and choosing the server location closest to you can reduce latency and improve performance. You can change the server location by clicking the menu in the top-left and then selecting the Settings button. Then scroll down a bit, and you’ll find the server location settings on the left.
  
• Optimize in-game settings: Adjusting in-game settings such as resolution, graphics quality, and V-sync can help improve performance. Lowering these settings can reduce the strain on your computer’s hardware and improve your gameplay experience. This, too, is done from the Settings menu.
