The video is about a creator's journey to achieve the highest possible frame rate in Minecraft. They start by testing their old PC, which has a four-core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a GTX 1060 graphics card. However, it struggles to run the game smoothly, especially with ray tracing shaders.
The creator then upgrades to a more powerful PC, featuring a Ryzen 9 5950X processor, 32GB of RAM, and an RTX 3080 graphics card. They test the new PC and achieve frame rates of up to 450-500 FPS in Minecraft 1.16 with Optifine.
To further optimize the game's performance, the creator applies various settings and mods, including a high-resolution texture pack, FPS-boosting mods, and tweaks to the game's renderer. They eventually achieve a frame rate of 4000 FPS using the Sodium mod.
Finally, the creator tests an even older version of Minecraft, RD-2009.05, which allows them to reach a frame rate of 4500 FPS. They conclude that achieving extremely high frame rates requires significant sacrifices in gameplay and graphics quality, but it's still possible to push the limits of what's possible with Minecraft.
1. The test computer initially used had a four-core i7 processor, 16 gigabytes of RAM, and a GTX 1060 graphics card.
2. The computer had a poorly applied plastic dip coating on the graphics card.
3. The initial test was run on Minecraft 1.16 with Optifine.
4. The initial test achieved a frame rate of 200 FPS.
5. Adding shaders reduced the frame rate to 30 FPS.
6. The shaders used were ultra-gamer giga chad ray tracing shaders.
7. A second computer was used with a Ryzen 9 5950X processor, 32 gigabytes of RGB RAM, and an RTX 3080 graphics card.
8. This computer was able to run Minecraft with ray tracing shaders at 130 FPS.
9. A high-resolution texture pack was added, which reduced the frame rate by 20 FPS.
10. The computer's settings were optimized for maximum frame rate, resulting in a frame rate of 2,000 to 3,000 FPS.
11. An ultimate FPS texture pack was tested, but it reduced the frame rate instead of increasing it.
12. The Sodium mod was installed, which increased the frame rate to 1,400 FPS.
13. The computer's settings were further optimized, resulting in a frame rate of 2,300 FPS.
14. By switching to a lower-quality renderer and hiding the UI, the frame rate increased to 3,600 FPS.
15. Testing the method on Optifine resulted in a frame rate of 4,000 FPS.
16. The highest frame rate achieved was 4,500 FPS in Minecraft 1.16 using Optifine.
17. The highest frame rate achieved in Minecraft RD 2009.05 was 4,500 FPS.
18. To achieve higher frame rates, the CPU could be overclocked or the game could be further modified to remove core features.
