Destroying My RTX 4090 With Incredible Minecraft Graphics 

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.

6:56 I love that lighting in the storage area

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Currently running the Patrix 64 pack + addon with the SEUS PTGI shaders with my GeForce RTX 3080 12gb based gaming rig and getting pretty smooth gameplay with the occasional fps dip on 1440p with cranked settings. It's my first experience with modded Minecraft and I'm loving it so far. Still on the lookout for other packs/shaders that could enhance the experience. Might have to try the shaders you mentioned in the video. Looked pretty awesome 🙂

Thank you my man this is the reason I subbed tbh these videos are soooo satisfying to me

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

I would love to see this again but with the fabulously optimized modpack :D

Finally started ordering the parts for my PC today with an RTX 4070 and am super excited!

1:37 Ok, I REALLY like the Different 3rd person Camera, its Really Stunning

The Rethinking Voxels shaderpack (or Complementary Reimagined) combined with the Faithless texture pack makes the game look completely incredible, highly recommend

Love the extra editing it looks cool

My favourite shader by far is Astralex. Its sky / sun and moon customization are unmatched.

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.

My favourite shader right now has gotta be rethinking voxels, I love how they did the shadows and lights.

a fun thing to try would be to render higher than native res. resolutioncontrol+ mod can do that. i use it to run fhd on a 2k monitor to take the edge of shaders.

very cool video man, alos i was wondering if you could make a list of mods that add good mobs that you can summon, tame and ride. it would help me a lot.

I don’t know how but I can run nostalgia and Patrick’s texture pack (max) all at the same time with 18/25 render distance and I have hardly any lag, not to mention I don’t have any sort of RTX cards installed!

I think you should have used the physics mod to really push the GPU and I think we all wanted to see how it looks. Love your videos, please keep posting these amazing videos

Windowed mode is brutal. The ultimate challenge

I really love Sildur's Vibrant Extreme+VL with all effects cranked to max, it's got a warm, cozy feel with gorgeous sun and moon light, but I'm thinking about trying some other packs, because Sildur's lacks colored source light color, so every light source is the same visually

Thanks for putting some ash lake track part!

F3 reduces your FPS because the text rendering is not optimized. Every frame it has to rebuild the strings letter by letter as far as I'm aware. I don't think it has any kind of caching.

Imagine showing this to someone in the past playing the alpha version of the game

You should do a Minecraft conversion for a war mod. Like including planes. tanks. boats. machinery. or basically whatever you want to included. I bet you it will be epic. Also if you make it a modpack im pretty sure it will get popular that way too.

I'd like to see Rethinking Voxels used next time around, it's an edit of Complimentary Reimagined with dynamic blocklighting

Looking forward towards the 5090 benchmark!!!

When seeing only a 17% or so cpu usage this is completely normal and can still be a CPU „limitation“ as Minecraft can’t use lots of cores like other games. So even if it is maxing out the 2 cores it uses, your 16 core CPU won’t reach a high percentile load, but can still cap the framerate. (The single core speed is the limiting factor :)

Song from 0:12 is The Ancient Dragon from Dark Souls 1 :)

0:22 who seen those blocks launching in the background?!

When raytracing shaders start working with LOD mods, I’d love to see you visit this idea again.

3090 ti was a serious leap in graphics card technology. But the 4090 alone is a the Neal Armstrong of graphics card leaps.

One critique that I have with SEUS PTGI is that there are little blurs and tears when your character is moving or slight visual bugs and it just looks weird. I can also say that your hand in first person POV is like dark for me. I love the work these authors put in and don't get me wrong I am not saying these are bad shaders. They are the best out there. I just wanted to share my opinion.

For the 4090Ti(whenever that one's coming out) test, I can recommend you use the Nvidium mod(along with Sodium), which fully utilizes the power of the GPU and the Bobby mod for an absurd render distances, which unlike DH(which is also amazing), are fully rendered. Right now, on my 3090, I'm playing with these mods on 128 chunks render distance and it rarely drops below 100fps. The downside is that Nvidium isn't compatible with any shaders, but even without them, you can still reach the full potential of the GPU.

you should've used the physics mod to see what minecraft could really be like

Damn these graphics look amazing. One really cool thing would to have some modpack gameplay with this. Rock and stone brother!

i havent watching you for a year or 2 i never heard you so active and happy is it just me or what?

I would love to see you try rethinking voxels, it might not be the best, but it’s just beautiful in its own way.

ordered my 4090 a few days ago and its on its way got a 4k monitor ready! this video popped up and seeing it makes me all the more excited to open that box!

The reason bedrock uses less gpu usage, and was locked at 72 fps may have been due to vsync, as if it is unable to reach 144 fps (assuming that is your monitor refresh rate) it will lock it to half of 144 (which is 72). Because it locked the fps, it will end up using less gpu

1:30 the weird thing on my system is that Minecraft and even the task manager say that it uses 90% GPU, but the GPU itself says its only at 30% and it only pulls like 25% of its max wattage. If you wonder if this has something to do with the raytracing cores you can get the GPU WAY higher in traditional rasterised graphics without any raytracing or upscaling. The 4090 has over 16k regular shader cores but only 512 tensor cores for upscaling and 128 raytracing cores, and that's pretty representative of its power draw as well. Minecraft Java shader packs don't actually use RT, so I would expect that 90% would actually draw like 400W. Meanwhile the VRAM usage without extreme texture packs is like 3Gb or so. And yes that is after setting it to 6gb ram (of which it uses 3-4gb in practice) and without maxing out the CPU.

Would be interested in a video where you compile the best shaders including RTX for bedrock

if someone could make a mod compatible with the 40 series's frame generation that would be a game changer

I really like rethinking voxels and opal shaders. Rethinking voxels is pretty heavy but i think its one of the best minecract shaders there is.

I wonder how my i5-8250u laptop with mx150 integrated graphics was able to use minecraft with shaders just 2 years ago. Kinda baffles me now tbh. Although after a while, my laptop did reach its limit and slowed down, but back then, i guess i didnt appreciate the fact that it was brought to its limit and worked admirably

try it with the "distant horizons" mod it adds L.O.D to the game (Level Of Detial) which is that the distant objects have lower texture quality so you can crank up the render distance without any problem

optifine 4?

This man will never stop upgrading his PC with the latest and best graphics cards isn’t he? 😂

Congratulations on 1mil btw

You really should try out Continuum shaders with the Stratum 2048× resource pack. No clue do your PC (also relies on CPU and a lot of RAM) can handle it… but it would be something to try.

I love playing competitive pvp with my 4090 and 13900k with no shaders on 1440P!

What you said about bedrock rtx shaders I completely agree with. Indoors look absolutely fantastic, especially pair with a good texture pack, but outdoors usually just look decent to sometimes plain bad for a shader

I recently bought a 4080 Ryzen 9 literally everything it’s a top of the line computer and so far every game I’ve played like rust or tarkov I’m at the games max frame cap and it’s amazing

Love the intro!

No Optifine 4 this year 😢

You can destroy this same RTX by only using *1 Mod* *Physics Mod* Break blocks base and all blocks will fall on pieces and also use simulated water you showed us 1 year ago

I remember the day when 4 way SLI was a thing and 4 GTX Titans ran minecraft at 2400 fps only in the menu. This thing does 3000+ in the game XD

i love that lightning.same lightning came from my pc.it was hilarious.

Waiting on the next optifine

Where optifine 4?

I would like to see you review the mod called Better Than Adventure. It is for beta 1.7.3. It has a growing community and it is being updated. It was made because people don’t like where Minecraft went with it’s updates.

I use the same setup with the patrix 256x and 128x packs on a 3080 12gb with iris on a 1440p ultrawide and still get 60fps now. Took alot of mods and optimization. (Also have my view distance at about 20 chuncks)

Where's Your This Year's April Fool Video

hey asianhalfsquat, no april fools day video this year? 😩

over imagined shader is my favorite due to the night time araroa and its customization ive found the perfect setting for it to run well and not make the game 50X darker

I've been a big fan of Sora for shaders, but it fails miserably at the end for some reason, so I just turn it off when i need to make an end trip. Huge fan of BetterVanillaBuilding for resource packs. The vanilla vibe has always been something I prefer to use, as anyone on a server can see my build near how it was designed to look, rather than needing a resource pack to see it in its true glory.

WHERES OPTIFINE 4

Where big boi optifine 4 april fool video? ;(

My favourite shaders has to be rethinking voxels. It's so cool to actually see Minecraft have that musch realistic lighting

I gotta ask, how do you get your mods all into one world using the same version? Appreciate it.

I heard optifine 3 got an update today!

april fools where

"With that out of the way, we're going to take things up a 'Notch'"... I see what you did there hahah (3:56)

have you tried this combo with distant horizons and a low render distance? i feel like it would improve performance by a lot.

6:50 the reason you dont get full utilisation is because bedrock caps at your monitors refresh rate even with vsync off

1:00 What shader is that? Or is it bedrock RTX?

I love watching your vids Knowing my Minecraft fps maxing at 10 😭

I have a Video suggestion 10 Useful resource packs in minecraft in this video you will show resource packs like visual ores, Full bright like these resource packs

One thing to note, if your gpu isn't at about 90% utilization or above, it IS the cpu that is the bottleneck. That's why your 4090 was hardly ever being used fully in this video. If you upgrade your cpu you should see a big increase in fps.

WHERE IS MY OPTIFINE 4

Wow the 1st high graphics video that let's us see lava!!

Hey Squat you should try rethinking voxels shader pack with this

Rock and stone to the bone!

where's optifine 4?

I really hope maybe in the next decade that computers accessible to most can really use these graphics

5:26 those clouds are CRAZY

Have you tried the rethinking Voxels Shader? In my opinion one of the best shaders rn.

I can’t wait for optifine 4 to come out tomorrow!

Great to see you are a DRG fan

I've always wondered if this game could run on an old Windows 98 machine. Maybe at 640x480 resolution with textures set to original, any unsupported shading and lights turned off, basically running the game in minimalist mode so a Pentium III MMX 500Mhz with 64MB of 100Mhz SDRAM, Sirrus Logic S3 SVGA graphics card paired with 2 12MB Voodoo II graphics cards in SLI could handle it. That would be interesting to see a side by side of two systems running this game. One from 1998 and the other a modern high end gaming rig.

Waiting for Optifine 4 update.........
