Now, when we think of demanding games, maybe titles like the Classic Crisis all the recently released Metro exit a spring to mind.

Both look great, but both required decent hardware to maintain stable frame rates.

But what about Minecraft?

Yet you heard correctly.

This charming but graphically unimpressive game will surely run fine almost systems out there, even those considered low end.

But a few graphical tweaks certainly have the potential to change this and make Minecraft one of the most intensive titles around.

Welcome to what is a slightly different video, but one high I hope you'll enjoy.

Nonetheless, when in video first announced, there are T X lineup of graphics, card and rate tracing was first introduced.

Hardware enthusiasts marveled at the potential of this new technology.

After all, it makes some games look incredible.

Though performance certainly takes a hit rate, tracing has since been enabled by in video on some older performance Duty X cards, though it's not as impressive feat.

But let's say you don't have a top end Artie X or GTX card, and, well, you want to experience effects similar to that of invidious Cornu technology.

Well, I'm sure you've seen hundreds of videos on the subject by now, but I couldn't resist testing out Sonic Evers.

Latest Unbelievable Shade is build.

Here's how it looks.

So what exactly is it?

Well, this is a shade of PAC ads path tracing effects to the world of Minecraft, which offer similar lighting effects to that of Ray tracing.

However, this could be installed in used with any in video graphics card providing.

It's powerful enough to handle these new effects, of course, and that's what I wanted to test out the shade Ipek is available to gold patrons of Sonic either meaning you'll need to pledge $10 at the moment anyway, all links necessary and info to get it working will be down below.

It's not very tracing its path tracing, but the results are similar.

And the reason I wanted to check this out today is because performance is apparently improved over earlier versions.

So after running it for a bit on my eye 5 84 100 gee takes 10 70 here will be seeing how the entry level Jew text 10 50 can handle these impressive graphics.

Who says you need a r t x 2080.

Anyway, here with my Jew checks 10 70 you can see that we're averaging between 30 and 40 frames per second, a 10 80 p, with the settings turned right up on the render distance off 32 chunks.

These aren't the highest possible settings, but they still do a great job of allowing us to see this graphics mode in all its glory.

The lighting effects really are very impressive.

A larger on screen explosion actually caused the frame rate to dip quite a bit, but it never really went below 30 for any prolonged period of time.

That's not to say the overall performance doesn't take a huge hit when compared to the Vanilla Game.

So how does a more budget friendly card handle section overhaul?

Well, it's time for the two gig 10 fifties turn, and as you can see, this cart struggles a little bit more, which was the obvious outcome.

But keep in mind that we are using the same settings as the 10 70 here.

So in that respect, I guess it didn't do as badly as I first thought it worked.

If we drop the resolution to 7 20 p and again keep the same settings that were previously used.

The frame rate hovers closer to 30 but this will drop to the mid twenties as we start to move around a bit more, maybe explodes and TNT, or just generally walkabout in areas containing more foliage.

Because Minecraft isn't exactly the most fast paced game out there.

These drops don't feel too bad if I'm honest.

But anyone used to getting a smooth 60 f ps and beyond on this sort of hardware may be hesitant to use this graphic what grade, especially as we had to drop the resolution here when keeping a 30 f.

P s target in mind.

If we switch the graphical preset too fast.

However, from the in game menu, then the frame rate well, only slightly improved will remain more stable.

And there won't be as many drops into the mid twenties as there were before.

Though this is 7 20 p gameplay once again, and it seems as though this is better on a card like this.

Is this worth trying on your hardware?

Well, if you don't mind contributing $10 monthly to Sonic either on patri on for what is, to be honest, fantastic work, and you are willing to take a rather large frame, right?

Hit.

Then why No.

I've been wanting to check this out for a while and was curious to see how an entry level graphics card like the 10 50 would handle it.

This overhaul certainly turns Minecraft into a very demanding title, but it's one that represents what is great about the PC gaming community, not to mention it looks fantastic as well.

So there we have it.

I said before that this video is a little bit different, but I hope you've enjoyed it nonetheless.

Let me know if you've tried the sound and if you have how it ran on your hardware, particularly if it's a more sort of budget orientated leva like on the video.

If you enjoyed it, leave it dislike.
