Hi, not sure if this is the appropriated thread for this.
I currently have a two year old pc, windows 10, I play Minecraft 1.12.2 with forge and liteloader. I would like to use shaders but not sure if my graphics card is good enough
I usually run at around 60 fps , and I tried a shaders that took my fps down to about 11 fps but I dont know if its me not knowing how to use the shaders options or if its my graphics card.
I understand that shaders suck up the fps, but, if I find the right shader will my graphics card be able to do a decent job? I have no idea if my card is a sucky one, or if it's passable.
If you want super-pretty settings, you need a GeForce 1080Ti or equivalent.
Not necessarily. You can at least run liteweight shaders well with a 980 or maybe even a 970, which is a decent way down from 1080ti. Even I have no problem running top notch shaders a 1080, as opposed to a 1080TI.
Tried it but fps way too low. It was 12 fps. Without shaders I get around 60-70
Getting 60-70 without shaders will never be enough with shaders unless you're okay with really low fps.
Even it's recommended to have 200+ FPS before trying better shaders. I personally would recommend at least 120 before trying lightweight shaders, since it usually at least cuts framerate in half.

Ok thank you for the help
Thanks SpawnChunks will try that.
