Destroying My RTX 4090 With Incredible Minecraft Graphics

The RTX 4090 is absolutely incredible. It'll run just about anything you throw at it, and it will do it very well. But how can it handle Minecraft with the most demanding shaders/resource packs available?

    Minecraft Java is the worst optimized game ever and for some reason not many people are complaining about it. This is something that Mojang should work on instead of adding new features that are only going to make the game even laggier.

    i tried this with my pc. Its actually extremely beautiful. Especially when I'm in a foggy biome. It feels like I'm really there. Because of the smoke coming out of my PC its really immersive.

    Complementary Shaders absolutely slap. The visuals are stunning and the impact isn't anything too crazy when paired with Iris. I've tried many others, but I keep coming back to Complementary and BSL sometimes.

    What you said about Minecraft utilizing more of the GPU was technically correct, but you must understand that Minecraft still isn't actually using the 4090 to its full ability- RT cores are not being used. All of the graphics are being bottlenecked through the "generic" parts of the GPU because neither OptiFine nor Iris support RT cores in their current state. Iris is working on it, however, and Continuum Graphics is making Focal Engine, a mod which will allow Minecraft to utilize Vulkan rendering software, which will be able to take advantage of RT cores as well.
  • It boggles my mind how far the modders pushed Minecraft in the decade or so it's been out, I mean sure, it's not exactly going to run well, but the contrast between the baseline visuals and what modders accomplished is absolutely stunning.

    Seeing how high the fps could go with low render distance was cool. But it also would have been interesting to see how high the render distance can go with a 4090

    Man i always enjoy watching incredible shader videos for Minecraft. The great visual ones that aren't a texture pack and still have vanilla blocks make the game feel so much immersive.
  • If you turn off animated textures, portal effects (or whatever its called) and some more texture effects and all particles set to minimal or off, the fps on Patrix 128x/256x doubles or Even quadrouples… its an interesting fix that people should be aware of!
  • 1:22 Also, it's very noticeable that using shaders and high-end resource packs binds even more performance to the GPU. You can actually see your CPU load dropping when you turn on shaders, as rendering load is taken off of the CPU. I say this running PTGI on an i5-11600KF and RTX 3070.

    Intrestingly, one thing that's clearly noticable in the ray traced high resolution versions of any games on graphics cards, is the power of the sun! In that it is now able to profoundly showcase the power of sunlight to a more realistic degree and also create enough difference between the region in bloom and not in bloom, effectively also increasing the f stops!

    I want to note that I wanted to replicate the highest framerate video on minecraft, and there is still a lot you can do to optimize the fps even more, when i first got my Rtx 3070 ti i used Lunar Client and turned off everything, i used 1.8.9 and turned everything to low, i hit a wopping 6200+ fps using an rtx 3070 ti and ryzen 9 5900x, i wanted to make a video out of it but a week later my minecraft account got hacked.. I know i have a photo of the fps somewhere lol
  • You need to see the load of each core of the CPU with some software like HWinfo to know if you are throttling it. Minecraft probably runs on just a couple cores, so if you have 16 cores it could be throttling 2 cores to the max but the task manager will only show you a 12-13% CPU usage.

    Finally started ordering the parts for my PC today with an RTX 4070 and am super excited!
  • @RedElixer
    I would love to see this again but with the fabulously optimized modpack :D
  • @sogaria3561
    Imagine showing this to someone in the past playing the alpha version of the game
  • @luimu
    You should have used performance overlay like afterburner to see the gpu usage. When I tested some super high quality shaders with my 7900xtx and lowering the render distance to 12 made the game utilize the gpu and cpu more raising my fps from 60 to over 300.
  • i havent watching you for a year or 2 i never heard you so active and happy is it just me or what?

    Rethinking Voxels (Complementary Reimagined RT edit) could also be a big thing after a few more updates. The light system on that thing is completely unreal on par or above with bedrock indoors and any other rt shader I’ve tried, and there’s a huge plus which is that it is still Complementary
