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.

Also I would straight up not include the max FPS in your graphs as even you said it was completely irrelevant. Having an extra bar in the graph just makes it more cluttered and makes it harder for beginners to understand it.

Back in 2017 I bought a Dell Latitude E6420, a Sandy Bridge laptop for study, but I stopped using it later and forgot about it. Came back to it this year, upgraded it to an i7-2630QM, 16GB RAM and 240GB SSD, and it runs 3 virtual machines I have simultaneously (Win2022, Kali and Metaspoitable2)

Uploaded on my bday, keep up the good work!

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.

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...

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

btw if u are on 1.20 u can download fabric andf some mods which improves fps a lot

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

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

Do you have any suggestions for my minecraft sodium modpack problem all my mods are just fps boosting mods for 1.20.4 I made sure that they have all their dependencies and all are compatible and it worked it was supper smooth but when I exited my minecraft and hoped back in it didn't work😢 now I can only play 1.19.4 and below any suggestions to fix this bug

Yeah possibly, someone suggested liquid metal but I don't think it would work here

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

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

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

90% of old laptops allow you to upgrade the proccessor. You can do it for 4th gen laptop cpu's 3rd, 2nd, 1st. I have no idea if you can upgrade 5th and 6th gen though.

have you tried the gmm registry hack? it can make u add like 2gb or even 4gb of "vram" from your ram. unless it had the option from bios to set it.

Dad had an old acer Aspire desktop from 2011, 4 gbs of ddr3, intel celeron, not even i3. Got an i7 4790, and got 16 gbs of ddr3. Found little bro playing valorant at 30fps with horrible quality but was running smoothly after optimizations. Spent like 70 bucks totals on the upgrades on that old hardware.

I had the same laptop HP Pro book 650 g1 but the processor is i3 4100m. I only upgraded ram and I got 50 to 60 fps in valorant on HDD , 60 to 70 fps in Minecraft with out playing on lowest settings. and 25 to 30 fps in gta5. i also rendered videos in after effects.

1.8.9 version kinda old, released in december 9, 2015. 8265U with MX130 and 8GB DDR4 RAM give me 20-30FPS even on m.2 SATA ssd

Hey you could have gone to a i7-4712mq and could have gotten tons more performance, and it has integrated graphics as well as 4 cores and 8 threads

I know you didnt ask me, but im a longtime linux user. And I certainly noticed a major difference between linux and windows. Linux has a slight learning curve for beginners, but once you get the basics, and can figure out your own problems its quite efficient. Fps wise i have tested on a spare laptop of mine, windows 10 i averaged 90-200 fps. Low settings. but after a linux install, on arch linux, using i3wm. i was able to get my average upto 300-700. sounds crazy that a simple change like an operating system could give you upwards to 500 or more fps. But you gotta remember that windows is incredibly bloated.

@@ivyish I definitely see your point here. I've actually made it a challenge for myself, for over the next month, I'm forcing myself to use Linux pop OS, instead of Windows. So I formatted my SSD, wiped my entire windows install, and decided to switch to Linux with no windows on it, that way I'm not dual booting. I'm on day two, trying to learn about five commands per day, and get used to it. So far, I learned how to get applications, using the sudo get-apt command, I've learned how to install updates, and have learned how to move files into a different directory via commands in Terminal. It's getting a little easier every time, but I want to get to that stage or point eventually, where I'm also able to optimize Linux further, I just don't know and don't want to do that yet, as I'm not entirely familiar with the operating system, and don't want to accidentally destroy something.

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.

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.
