Problem with Minecraft ray tracing

RK120 — Sat, 30 Dec 2023 05:29:53 GMT

FPS is very low when running Minecraft for Windows with ray tracing enabled, but GPU usage is not running full (usage only goes up to 50%).

Low FPS in Minecraft with ray tracing on Windows might be due to a bottleneck elsewhere, not fully utilizing your GPU. Check for CPU limitations or insufficient RAM affecting performance. Optimize settings, update drivers, and ensure sufficient system resources for a smoother experience.

Hello RK120,

We appreciate the new details you have shared. This time, we recommend you update your graphics driver. Based on your system report, the graphics driver installed is version 31.0.101.5081, while the latest version available on our website is 31.0.101.5084. To freshly install the driver, we recommend running the Display driver Uninstaller to eliminate all the previous driver files and leftovers, then installing the new driver version.

Best regards

Sorry for the late reply, I noticed Intel just released latest version of driver（31.0.101.5085）and I installed it, but it still doesn't work with Minecraft with Ray Tracing.

Ensure your CPU and RAM meet Minecraft's requirements, update graphics drivers, and allocate sufficient RAM to Minecraft. Alao, consider optimizing in-game settings and checking for background processes impacting performance.
