On a NVIDIA GeForce MX330 (laptop) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Minecraft (Java) runs at roughly 32 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 23FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA GeForce MX330 (laptop) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Minecraft (Java) is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 32 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 23 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 32 FPS at 1080p and 19 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 11 FPS at 4K. Minecraft (Java) doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings below.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 23 | 32 |
| 1440p | 14 | 19 |
| 4K | 8 | 11 |
