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

At 1080p expect around 203 FPS, at 1440p about 179 FPS, and at 4K roughly 101 FPS with optimized settings. Minecraft (Java) doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
