⚠️ Barely — only with upscaling and low settings
~32 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA GeForce MX330 (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 32 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 23 FPS with everything on High.

💡 Minecraft (Java): Vanilla is CPU/draw-distance bound; shaders (e.g. BSL) or RTX make it very GPU-heavy.

At 1080p expect around 32 FPS, at 1440p about 19 FPS, and at 4K roughly 11 FPS with optimized settings. Minecraft (Java) doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
