I'm pretty confused here, so im trying to run minecraft but when i do the Cpu shoots up to 100% and the graphics card is like MAX 20% and im lagging when im render distance is up high.

Anyone help me?

I downloaded drivers and stuff but yeah im pretttty confused because for what i know i think the graphics card should be higher and the cpu shouldnt be maxing out doing all the graphics instead of the gpu. or something
i have a i3-12100f 12th gen
and amd rx 6600
lmk if u want other specs.

thanks.

Minecraft is actually CPU bound.

It has a lot of simulation to do in a generally less-than-optimized codebase, and the graphics are simple enough that they don’t cause too much load on a modern GPU. You DO need some graphics horsepower for Minecraft, but not nearly as much as you do for other games.

It's a CPU and RAM intensive game, so try to REDUCE your 'Render Distance' in the game. How much RAM does your system has ? Render Distance takes a toll on the CPU usage.

The game is reliant on core speed, rather than core number. A higher clock speed means you’ll get better performance outright, due to how Java works. Are you using any MODS ? This can have a great affect on the CPU.

Also, while playing Minecraft, close all unnecessary background processes/apps running.

Since this is a CPU-intensive game, it relies heavily on the processing power of the computer's CPU rather than the graphics processing power. Minecraft uses a lot of complex algorithms and calculations to generate and render its blocky 3D world, including terrain generation, physics calculations, and entity interactions.

However, this does not mean that GPU is not important. The GPU is also responsible for rendering the graphics of the game, including textures, lighting, and special effects. A powerful GPU can help improve the visual quality of Minecraft, especially when using high-resolution texture packs and shaders.

Although, a low-end GPU might also run this game, but large worlds and heavy modding will take a toll on the CPU, due to how Java works.

As mentioned earlier, try to reduce your Render Distance in the game. Lower and cap your max framerate to 60 fps., as doing this should also stop Minecraft from using a lot of CPU horsepower.

By the way, how do other PC titles perform on your PC ? Which other games have you tried to run on your system, apart from Minecraft ? Exact Model number and brand of your current PSU ?

Love Your PFP Lol, Appreciate the help man. I didn't know minecraft was CPU Bound. Kinda sad ngl but it's whatever. Also, no mods right now.. getting help with lunar client by the team witch is a external launcher that lets you access GUI mods and other stuff. ( no hacks xd ) i think i have 16 gb of ram. 3600mhz

That's a decent PSU model from Be Quiet. No issues running this on any upper mid-range gaming PC.
