Hey hey! Thank you so much! When you say Minecraft on medium do you mean shaders (if so what shader pack) or just base game? As for Fortnite give me a little bit to download and run the game and I'll get back to you!

GuruGeek Hey thanks for the reply. For Minecraft, just the base game FPS with normal settings. Also I’m not sure if you know or used it but would you recommend this over the Acer Nitro 5. The MSI Alpha 15 has better specs but cost more I’m not sure. I was thinking of getting this
@GuruGeek
@GuruGeek 4 жыл бұрын
I just ran the latest 1.16.2 Java release for Minecraft with maxed (fabulous) settings and a render distance of 8 chunks and was getting between 60 and 75fps. The only issue with the Java edition of Minecraft is the GPU doesn't detect it properly so to force the Radeon graphics card on the laptop you need to change the battery settings to Ultimate Performance and it works fine. As for the Windows 10 edition you will get higher fps and you shouldn't have to change any laptop settings because it will detect it as a game rather than a java file. As for Fortnite I will let you know when I can, currently downloading the game now to test for you. Could you let me know what the specs of the Acer Nitro 5 and what your local price for both the Acer and the MSI are then I can give you a better idea on what one to go for :)
@aaronsediqy
@aaronsediqy 4 жыл бұрын
GuruGeek The Acer Nitro 5 cost $1300 and the specs are: i5-9300H, 256G SSD, 8GB RAM, GTX 1650 The MSI Alpha cost $1500 but a lot of people recommend the Acer Nitro 5 as a budget laptop. Not sure if they know the MSI alpha 15 Also for Minecraft java do you always have to have Ultimate Battery Mode because I’ve heard the battery life isn’t amazing already and I need it for school. Was the charger plugged in when you were doing the FPS test?
@GuruGeek
@GuruGeek 4 жыл бұрын
In terms of of price per performance it looks like the msi is a little better even if you are spending more. The CPUs are roughly the same, you will be getting a better graphics card, another 8gb of RAM, 512gb ssd, better screen and keyboard. There isn't going to be a huge difference but definitely a difference. So basically what you will have to do with Minecraft Java is turn on ultimate performance by right clicking on the battery to play the game with the GPU rather than the onboard graphics, but then turn it back to balanced when you are done playing. The reason you have to do this is because it doesn't detect a java program as resource intensive and the new radeon software removed the ability to override the dedicated GPU so that's the best work around I have come up with so far. When it comes to gaming on a laptop generally you want to have it plugged in for best performance anyway. So when it comes to school set it to the battery saver mode and then when you are home plug it in to game. I hope that all makes sense!

How does it perform with Minecraft with medium shaders
@GuruGeek
@GuruGeek 4 жыл бұрын
Okay so the thing with Minecraft is the laptop doesn't detect java as a game and doesn't use the dedicated GPU. The new Radeon software doesn't have an option to force enable it either which is annoying. You can enable high performance in Windows graphics settings but that hasn't worked for me as of yet. My next solution is to download an older version of Radeon software which has the switchable graphics card option to force it to use the dedicated gpu. I'll try see if I can do that and let you know how it goes. If you wanna chat more about it hit me up on Twitter and I'll be happy to have a chat, links in the description.

Okay so I found a work around by enabling max performance in power options which automatically forces the RX 5500m. Using Sildurs Extreme Volumetric Lighting I was getting between 40 to 60 fps which is playable but going for medium shaders you would easily get 60+
