The Steam Deck (RDNA2 iGPU) is a handheld card with 4GB 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 62 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 55 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 55 | 62 |
| 1440p | 33 | 45 |
| 4K | 19 | 26 |
At 1080p expect around 62 FPS, at 1440p about 45 FPS, and at 4K roughly 26 FPS with optimized settings. Minecraft (Java) doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
