Who needs a 40-series? Optimized my 2nd Gen i7 / Quadro 1000M laptop to hit nearly 200 FPS on 1.21.4 (200+ mods)
The Specs:
- CPU: Intel Core i7-2720QM (Sandy Bridge, 2011)
- GPU: NVIDIA Quadro 1000M (2GB VRAM)
- RAM: 16GB
The Secret Sauce: Getting 190 FPS on 1.21.4 with 200+ mods took some serious tuning. I'm using a custom Fabric stack:
- Rendering: Sodium + Iris + the rest of the good mods to have
- The Bug Hunt: Had to manually debug an
AbstractMethodErrorinvolving the Trial Spawner rendering—turns out 1.21.4 changed the entity rendering code and broke half my "accessory" mods.
Settings: Graphics on Fancy, 10 Chunks. Not a bad life for a laptop that should be in a museum!
