I also noticed your comment about the lack of an FPS improvement despite your CPU upgrade. It is pretty rare to see a large FPS improvement when upgrading CPUs from the same generation. This is because you are running games on the built in IGPU which don't get much faster from I3 to I7 (at least in the same generation). Hopefully what I said makes sense I didn't proofread anything.

Go for it! There is a lot of potential in these old devices with a few upgrades :)

Bro makes interesting content just for us and himself. Respect to NotroDan

Dude, i appreciate all the work you had to do the appropriate upgrade in this machine. This video is very good, and I'm new to your channel. But, i have to be honest with you: to do all of this to play Minecraft only... is a little bit of a waste. There are so many good games that you could try in this setup and increase the content of your tests: Burnout Paradise, Batman Arkham Asylum and City, Fallout, Call of Duty World At War, Modern Warfare (2011), PES 2013, and even emulators like PCSX2, to give you some options. Well, remains the suggestion, if it's interesting to you in the future...

So one of the things about Feather is that it's literally just running a stripped down version of Chrome - it uses the Chromium Embedded Framework, which is actually VERY resource intensive. I've also been told it uses CEF for things within the game itself as well for some reason. I advise AGAINST using clients like Feather or Lunar, because the benefits they have are FAR outweighed by the cons. I HIGHLY recommend using Prism Launcher on older machines like this one instead. I run it on my admittedly overkill machine, and the highest I've EVER seen was 120MB of RAM, and 2% CPU. I will admit to having never used Feather before but other CEF apps have used around 1GB-2GB of RAM each. Will you have to do some tweaking yourself? Yes, absolutely. But on lower end machines you'll be able to dedicate MORE performance to Minecraft, and knowing Java as a programming language it could USE that. Prism plus something like Fedora Linux and I'm willing to bet you could easily surpass 200-300FPS in 1.20.4 with Sodium

Ps: If you wanna use 1.12.2/legacy Minecraft versions. Use legacy fabric, it allows java 21(using cleanroom loader), and lets you use sodium on old versions, making Minecraft run even faster than optifine will ever reach

Wow this upgrade was equal to my old laptop which had 16gb ddr3 ram but it had an i7 4600u CPU which is similar to your upgraded one.

My leptop with all the optimizes run at 120 fps thanks Notrodan i learned every optimize from you

Lossless scaling frame generation would be a great boost

nah after the upgrade my mind was exploded. It was crazy that it was getting 500fps it was soo smooth. The price in all most have been at least 70-50 buck depending on how much you got them. Super cool though

Can confirm upping RAM and an SSD make massive improvements in performance.... If you've actually got a computer where you can do that. Sadly a lot of manufacturers started soldering stuff straight to the board severely limiting any hardware upgrading, especially on cheap budget laptops like those super-cheap netbooks. I've heard there are perhaps some performance/cooling improvements to soldered components, but generally I feel like it's all about the money. Either to cheap out on manufacturing or to get people to pay a premium to have good specs from the beginning by removing the ability to buy cheap upgrades later, as if you have the option it's often cheaper/better to buy third party upgrades later after a few years than pay a premium when it's new. Also just the ability to be able to remove the drive and replace it is valuable in many situations like if the MB dies so you can still get your files. I got an old laptop when my uncle passed that was a very laggy pretty much unusable mess that took forever to boot, switched it to an SSD and BAM night and day improvement, I'd even call it rather snappy, threw in a RAM upgrade while I was at it, but I feel the vast majority was just the hard drive was /sooo/ slow. Like I don't know if laptop 2.5 inch drives are just slower than the desktop 3.5 inch equivalents or if the advertised SSD cache on it wasn't working, but the benchmark showed the random access speed was literally only 1 percent of the sequential access speed, meaning it was probably taking forever to seek the right spot on the disk. Then I got another cheap netbook at the same time, and there's just no good way to upgrade it, the main drive is a soldered on 32 GB eMMC drive, there's only a single slot for RAM, which from my research is actually lucky as other versions of the same computer had the RAM soldered on. There's no place on the motherboard meant to install another drive, though apparently there's a janky way to jury-rig something including an adapter board to convert the slot for the wifi/bt board into an M.2 SSD slot, which then requires you to have a USB dongle for wifi/bt. Just not worth the time/money/effort IMO unless you literally have no other options for a computer. I mainly use it to try out linux with as the latest windows 10 just takes up the whole drive and barely boots, and there's a handful of things I was able to use it for, but mostly it just lies around collecting dust.

love your videos brother....

You should consider changing the OS to Windows-X Lite & try to optimise the software. In the stock version, as there are 100+ processes you may face fluctuating issue in the latest version so definitely consider optimising the OS.

@feefre

Күн бұрын

Windows mods are worse than stock, at that point just switch to linux

Somebody count how many times he said laptop

The thing to remember about linux, is that as far as I know(which I'm far from an expert on linux), it doesn't actually run programs faster or overclock the hardware by default, it only frees up the bloat that modern windows tends to be loaded down with, so it uses up less drive space, RAM, and cpu usage for the base OS. By all means if you installed enough background processes on linux it'd be just as loaded down as windows, but at the most basic level it's just far more minimal. With how you've already upgraded the RAM to 16 GB and have an SSD, the only savings might be background processes and services that eat up the cpu, which to be fair on windows can be substantial sometimes especially with only a dual core processor. I'm curious if it would at least run a little smoother with slightly more FPS, but I don't believe it'd be anywhere near as drastic as the hardware upgrades. At least it didn't seem to be a massive game-changing boost when I installed linux on a spare drive and booted my main desktop with it, which is a quad-core 16 GB system. I can absolutely see it making a much bigger difference the older/more-low-spec you go though. It'd probably make a bigger difference with 4 GB of ram than at 16 GB, or say a single core vs a 4/8 core. Basically it's like the difference between running with a 10 pound backpack on vs without, your legs aren't any more powerful, you just have less weighing you down, and that 10 pounds of savings would be a much bigger deal on somebody out of shape vs a trained athlete.

One thing I'd recommend is trying to use an external gpu to try and get off of the integrated graphics

Alot of the improvement from the ram will be the fact you went from single channel to dual channel thus giving more bandwidth to the cpu and igpu

Did you check to see if you’re using the highest mt speed ram that it supports because even a little bit more speed will definitely help improve less stuttering and better FPS

Yess that will be in the next video, I use a RODE NT-USB on a cheap boom arm from Amazon

Which recorder are you using for recording the gameplay?

Notrodan! I suggest upgrading the laptops panel to a better spec and add an external graphics card.

I advise you to use AtlasOS to boost your in-game fps

you should probably record it with a camera as a recording software will destroy half of your fps. even on a budget gaming laptop rn, obs or recording softwares gives 30 fps on most games. without recording its ofc back to 60+

Would be interesting to see how this machine runs Bedrock, seeing as it is extremely optimised by default and provides much better performance as opposed to Java.

If minetest had this kind of support it could run on a decade old android

0:11 kinda nice for 20 dollars I mean my computer from 2011 has a i5 2450m dual core and a 540m ,still runs Minecraft at a clean 60fps

im not gonna lie rn im watching on that exact laptop 😆

i think using mods on fabric like Sodium, Lithium, and Ferritecore would greatly increase the performance without having to put your render distance down so much

You can add an external GPU through the pcie slot that the Wi-Fi card is using

Extra steps: Use 1.19.2(best version for optimization) fabric with sodium + every optimization mod. Then use a Jvm like Java 21 oracle graalvm + Zgc and 12gb(Don't put all the ram, java likes overhead). Use liquid metal instead of thermal paste for better cooling. Extra extra steps: Modify the laptop case to have extra fans Change the battery/power supply to allow faster cpu options . Or just get a desktop at this point

@HIKKG

Liquid metal is dangerous for laptops that do not have a cooling system designed for liquid metal. This usually leads to a short circuit, which can seriously damage the laptop. Since liquid metal leaks out over time from under cooling systems that were not designed for liquid metal.

Whic app did u use to allocate the ram?

Next add a dedicated graphics card.

You can also try running minecraft on a linux distro like lubuntu (lightweight ubuntu)
