I installed several shaders on my Minecraft (Optifine).
Without a shader I can easily reach 100 fps, but unfortunately only 20-30 fps. What can that be?
My PC:
hp workstation xw 8600
intel xeon X 5460 (3.17 ghz)
16GB Ram
Nvidia Gforce gtx 960 4gb
It's normal with the hardware
This is completely normal. If you already have 100 without shader then 30 with shader are normal.
But there are a few shaders that run better, mostly called lagless shaders. Look worse but run a little better maybe you can do 40 / 50fps with it
