Minecraft has bad performance on the B570

I play Minecraft modpacks with shaders, but my performance is very poor. My GPU doesn't run at full capacity—its highest recorded usage is only 60%, regardless of which modpack I use.

My system specs:
Intel Core i5-14600K
32GB DDR4 3200MHz
Intel Arc B570
Windows 11

Hi grgr3030,


Thank you for reaching out regarding the performance issues you're experiencing with Minecraft on your Intel Arc B570. I understand how frustrating it can be when your system isn't performing as expected, especially when you're trying to enjoy gaming with modpacks and shaders.


To better assist you in resolving this issue, I'd like to gather some additional information:


Was Minecraft working properly on your B570 before, or has this been an ongoing issue since you first started using the GPU?


When did you first notice this performance degradation? Was there any specific event (driver update, Windows update, new modpack installation) that coincided with when the issues began?


Are you currently running the latest Intel Arc graphics driver version 32.0.101.7029? If not, please download and install it from:


https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/785597/intel-arc-iris-xe-graphics-windows.html


Recommended Steps: If you haven't already, I'd also recommend performing a clean installation of the graphics driver using Intel's clean installation guide: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000057389/graphics.html


For faster communication and more detailed troubleshooting, I'd be happy to schedule a phone call with you. This would allow us to work through the issue more efficiently and provide real-time guidance.


Best regards,

Thanks for the reply, I bought a b570 2 days ago and started using it from that, I'd installed the latest driver, besides Minecraft I also tested other games like Dead Island 2, Warhammer darktide, zenless zero zone, need for speed heat and genshin impact. The card runs great, but in need for speed heat I notice the game has shuttering, even though I already installed the newest driver. On minecraft java, when playing some modpack like Medieval MC and Better MC with the shader turned on, the performance of the game is pretty bad because it has shutter and the GPU is not fully utilized. For some reason, the card runs better on heavier games compared to minecraft, it also has a problem when recording with obs because the video is very laggy
