i have the midrange one and i could use it and my specs is i5-9400f with GTX 1060 6GB ZOTAC Mini with 16Gb DDR4 RAM and i guess my CPU usage takes a lot of stress when using genshin and i could barely multitask between Honkai Star Rail and Genshin so i set both in medium to be playable simultaneously
