Minecraft is lagging despite a supposedly good laptop?

On this I only had the right to play Minecraft. But Minecraft doesn't run smoothly even with the lowest graphics settings. If I open Discord on the side, I have even less FPS. But that should actually mean that there's a problem with the working memory and with 8GB it is not bad.

I would be very happy about replies.

Do you also have a graphics card or do you play with integrated graphics. With the 6th generation it is really surprising that the graphics power is what it is.

ho

Try overwriting more RAM in Minecraft.

ma

No, I don't have a graphics card, so I just integrated it, but I still thought that Minecraft (and I really screwed the graphics down) would run reasonably well. I also assigned 4gb ram to Minecraft.

Al

Yes, RAM isn't the problem, but the graphics unit is. Even if Mixcraft is not particularly demanding, integrated graphics are not that good anyway and the processor is no longer high-end by today's standards. Integrated Graphics are meant to be able to do anything with graphics, like maybe the interface is simply rendered or maybe a small model in Paint3d. Games are just not there. Speak from experience.

Hmm thanks, there's probably no solution for that, is there? Thanks anyway, it's really cool that people take the time to answer such questions. But it just doesn't seem to be supposed to be…

Al

In theory, you have two options:

1. If you have a good internet connection, you can rent a cloud PC and install Minecraft on it. One option that is often mentioned would be Shadow. Unfortunately Mixcraft is neither in Stadia, nor on XBOX Game Streaming, nor on Steam, which is why you can't play it with GeForce Now, but the whole thing is quite expensive.

2. If your laptop supports Thunderbolt, you can buy an external graphics card. Your laptop doesn't look like specs, so that's probably a shame.

That said, the only really good option would be to get yourself a PC with a graphics card.

I think this is the best way I can get a PC… I've been thinking about it for a long time. The question was just a test whether something could still be extracted from the laptop. In any case, thanks for the advice!

Al

Nah, unfortunately it looks bad. But it is quite suitable for work.

Al

Oh wait I would also like to note that now is an inopportune time to buy OC, as graphics cards are very expensive because of the shortage of chips.

ma

Yes, that's right

ma

That means what would you recommend to me?

Al

Then good luck someday. By the way, I recently found Miene 200 euro GraKa on Amazon for 500 euro, so you should seriously wait a bit… Just again to clarify the importance.

Al

The well-known GTX 1080 is probably enough for Minecraft, but I would currently wait for at least an RTX 3060, or even better a 3070, and save. I'm doing it right now. Technically speaking, 8 gigabytes of RAM are sufficient, but for a serious gaming PC you should install at least 16 GB. As a processor, I'm very satisfied with my Core i7 9700, but AMD is currently supposed to be building better processors. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no plan from AMD.

ma

Okay haha thanks anyway for the support

Al

Oh, you should of course also install a decent power supply in a gaming PC so that your PC does not randomly shut down. But there are online calculators for this. And you should buy at least a terabyte of SSD because Windows is a cramp on the HDD. For a full build you should definitely ask an expert and not me.

If you right-click on the battery symbol in the system tray, you can see the energy options. Under the advanced energy options (a little hidden) it is possible to change the minimum power state from 5 to 100% in network operation under the processor energy management. Now the CPU will no longer clock down from Windows and will always be directly accessible as long as the laptop is operated on the mains.

ma

Thanks to me, there's a bar where I can regulate the energy consumption has pushed it to the maximum let's see if it helps!

ma

Do I also have to set the battery to 100%?

ma

Can this damage my CPU in the long run?
