The NVIDIA GeForce MX230 (laptop) is a entry-level card with 2GB of VRAM, and Minecraft (Java) is a relatively light game to run. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 21 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 15 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 15 | 21 |
| 1440p | 9 | 13 |
| 4K | 5 | 7 |
At 1080p expect around 21 FPS, at 1440p about 13 FPS, and at 4K roughly 7 FPS with optimized settings. Minecraft (Java) doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
