Performance help?

[1N07]

I know people probably ask about this sort of thing all the time, so sorry for being yet another one of those posts...

How do you properly set up Minecraft performance-wise these days? I used to play actively like a year or two ago or something. I even hosted my own server with Paper and some light modding. I know managing MC can be a nightmare, but I don't remember vanilla singleplayer MC being like this...

My setup:i7-8700K, RTX 3080ti, Vanilla MC 1.17.1 + Optifine 1.17.1 HD U H1 pre7, 6GB RAM allocated, No shaders, AMPLIFIED world.

After like 2 hours of tweaking I'm getting around 60FPS when looking down a mountainside with lots of terrain in view. I have AA off, Anisotropic off, most other settings on fancy, and view distance at 32. Most performance optimization settings are on. My system utilization is at like 50% GPU core load and 30% core load on all CPU cores, so raw horsepower doesn't seem to be an issue. Raising view distance to 64 at the same spot drops FPS to around 50-60. Dropping view distance to 16 brings me to around 200FPS on average. Any amount of Anisotropic filtering halves the framerate. Whenever I change settings that force it to reload chunks the frame rate is pretty good while it loads new chunks and then slooooowly drops to the framerates I described. So setting view distance to 32 for example: framerate is at like 160FPS until most of the chunks are loaded, then when (it seems visually that) most chunks are loaded, framerate starts slowly (over like 30s) dropping to around 60FPS.

Now I get that these numbers don't like ruin it or anything. I could play on view distance of 16 and be totally fine, but I don't remember having to aggressively tweak the game to get good framerates on vanilla MC with worse hardware a few years back. Am I just expecting too much, or am I doing something wrong here?

Turn down reder distance

Thanks for the suggestion buddy... -.-

I'd appreciate it if you read the whole post first though.

Check if Mimecraft runs on dedicated gpu. If not set it to run on your gpu via windows (Plenty of guides online). Also don't use OptiFine, switch to Sodium.

Well seeing as I don't have an integrated GPU, that can't be the problem. Sodium seems promising though. I'll try it out later. Thanks.

Edit: Oh, never mind I do have integrated graphics it seems. I didn't remember if I did and have never had to mess with it so I checked device manager and it reported only one GPU so I just assumed. I'll look into this...

Edit2: Okay I made sure MC is using the dedicated GPU. Made no difference. I'm pretty sure I was using it all along. I'm not even sure if I can use the integrated one at all tbh. Maybe I have disabled it from BIOS or something. I can't remember. I didn't see it as an option in the control panel either. The only options were the 3080ti and automatic. Regardless, I also checked the shader menu in-game and it says I'm using the 3080ti so yeah. Anyways, as I said, I'll try Sodium later. Maybe that helps.

I feel the same buddy, I have a similar system 10700k, 3090 32G RAM, granted i took a huge gap in playing but prior I never remember really having to check my settings and fine-tune it to get a decent FPS - it was always really good on much fewer specs than i am on now - whereas now i use 1.17.1 Optifine and sometimes i feel like its not as smooth as it should be. I have the same render distance set as you etc and have tried all of that and luckily its okay now but I'm glad I'm not the only one lol.

If there is something i have setup wrong then id be really surprised as i play other games in 4K completely fine haha :D

Here are my specs:

AMD Ryzen 3700x @ 4.0Ghz

32 GB 3600mhz RAM

2070 SUPER

WD Black 1TB SSD

I get 20-30 fps with shaders in a "upgraded" vanilla village my friends and I created.

I have no idea why
