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

At 1080p expect around 118 FPS, at 1440p about 71 FPS, and at 4K roughly 55 FPS with optimized settings. Minecraft (Java) doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
