How To Fix Lag and Boost FPS in Minecraft on a Low End PC

In today’s video i’m gonna be taking my super fast gaming pc that i got completely ripped off by off ebay in my last video i’m gonna be trying to run minecraft on this and we’re gonna be running some various fps boosting settings and optimizations and trying to get minecraft actually playable on this

System if you’re new around here make sure to leave a like on this video and subscribe if you’re new let me know if this helps you guys all out there with bad pcs because i could do this video on my main computer but it makes zero difference so in this video you guys

Will be able to see what i do and the results that it gives me but first things first we’re going to go ahead and put an ssd into our computer over 90 percent of you guys said on my community tab post that i should put one in there

So yeah let’s switch over to my phone put an ssd in here reinstall windows and yeah we’re going to set it all up run a couple of settings and uh let’s see how this performs all right so a lot of you guys suggested that i put an ssd in this

Computer so that’s what we’re going to go ahead and do so i’ve got myself a crucial two and a half inch solid state drive here we’re gonna put that in here replace the failing hard drive and hopefully this is a lot quicker than the hard drive so let’s just quickly go

Ahead and do that right we’re at the back of the pc this is our hard drive here let’s just disconnect that i’m sure you guys know how to install an ssd into your computer oh look at that that’s damaged just slide this drive out boom here we go so we’ve got a seagate

Uh 500 gigabyte i’ve always had bad experiences with seagate drives i know a lot of people say like that the best the most reliable and stuff but every single failing hard drive i’ve ever had has been a seagate so yeah let’s get rid of that put the new one in

And hopefully we get a nice speedy pc another thing i’ve noticed is the um the front panel usb 3 port isn’t even plugged in so yeah i don’t think the motherboard has a usb 3 header so they just got that just uh chilling here right the ssd is in there i couldn’t be

Bothered to put it in properly so it’s just gonna kind of like be a bit lopsided there but yeah let’s get the side back on all right guys so just put the ssd in the computer and boot off my special windows 10 ltsc usb drive now if you

Don’t know what windows 10 ltsc is it’s basically a special version of windows that doesn’t have any kind of bloatware or any pre-installed apps on it only kind of has the essential stuff like all the stuff you really need it’s actually a really good version of windows i

Actually kind of swear by it i use this on my main system and although i don’t need it i don’t really like having pre-installed candy crush and all that other crap on my computer so yeah it’s a pretty good version of windows i’d highly recommend checking it out the

Only disadvantages is based off a very old version of windows 10 so you won’t get like all the latest windows features but you get security updates and stuff like that so yeah if you’re willing to make that trade-off it’s actually a pretty good version of windows let’s get

This windows installation running and uh i’ll see when we set it up all right so we’re in the setup process here a lot of people in the comments have been telling me to install linux on this computer and it’s probably something that i’m going

To do in the future i just want to do a windows setup first to see how well we can get this going all right let’s just uh type in my name no passwords because we’re living life on the edge and then just literally no to everything that this says no no no basic

No no no it might ask all of this but windows lcsc is probably one of the better versions for windows with telemetry and all that stuff in mind almost there boom here we are so this is our desktop pretty basic you might notice the old windows 10 wallpaper here like i said it

Is built off an old version of windows 10 but if we look at the start menu here oh look at that literally we’ve got nothing so we’ve got windows accessories so we’ve got the old internet explorer notepad windows media player all that kind of stuff we’ve got admin tools

If you want to mess around with any of them ease of access powershell windows systems and stuff like file file explorer control panel that kind of stuff i might actually just pin that to uh my taskbar here but yeah it’s like the cleanest installation of windows you

Can get i highly recommend checking this out i’m probably gonna go ahead and connect to the internet now so i can get some drivers installed but yeah it’s looking pretty good let’s have a quick look at our task manager here boom like two percent cpu disk isn’t

Failing anymore i reckon with a couple of optimizations this could be a pretty good computer alright guys so i’ve installed the drivers for this installation of windows now so we’ve got everything all kind of set up i’ve installed minecraft i’ve installed lunaclient and we’re going to kind of

See what fps we get with this client so before we do that let’s uh hop into our settings here we go to privacy and then we scroll down until we find background apps i’m going to turn all of these off we’ve got literally two but yeah just turn this off and it will

Make such a big difference we’re then going to go to control panel system and security power options and we’re going to set our performance to high performance here or oh ultimate performance let’s go for that all right now that lunar client has opened up we’re going to go ahead and go to our

Task manager here we’re going to find our lunar client so i’m guessing it’s probably this so you want to go right click on it click on go to details and then if we go here we can go to set priority and let’s make it high high

Priority there we go so yeah this is a fresh installation of minecraft so i’m just gonna go ahead and make a new world here and uh yeah we’re gonna how to adjust our settings like we’re not gonna be able to play on fancy graphics or anything like that but let’s kind of see

How much fps we get now compared to last video so we’re on a good 30 actually which is actually really good so if we go ahead and put some settings down here let’s turn off the clouds clouds are just useless no one wants clouds tone of fog as well

Let’s turn off smooth lighting we’ll keep this all kind of here all right what kind of fps we are now then wow we’re actually on a pretty playable 60 fps which is actually quite good wow i’m actually pretty surprised about that all right let’s try and go into full

Screen here see if that gives us a bit better fps oh it does actually look at this we’re getting like a hundred wow if you think about my last video when i was uh struggling to even get 30 wow this is actually quite playable i must admit

All right so in the hypixel lobby we’re getting about it’s still kind of quite low but it’s not as bad as it was so uh yeah it’s not too bad let’s try and play some duels looks like there’s a massive hole in the map i don’t know what’s happened here

It’s actually really strange okay boom we just finally won a duel on this computer okay that guy might not have been the best player but oh my god now we’re actually getting playable frame rate i can actually pvp so another thing i’ve done is i’ve gone ahead and i’ve disabled gaming in the

Windows settings a lot of people say this kind of improves your fps but literally if it’s always going to be recording your game it’s going to take up a lot of resources so i’ve disabled that on this system i’ve also gone ahead and as you can see my specs here we’ve

Still got the second gen i3 eight gig of ram and all of that if we go to advanced system settings here and then we go to performance we can actually adjust for best performance right here so if we go ahead and apply that there we go so now things like animations and stuff

Will kind of be disabled so when i drag this window around i used to have a nice animation but now it’s just a box it’s a little bit ugly but we’re just doing everything we can here to try and get the best fps possible we can also go into our intel hd graphics

Options i’m going to put this on advanced mode and if we go to the settings here drag this all the way to performance instead of quality so other than that the settings in this software look pretty good i’m also going to go ahead and download a texture pack

Because i really don’t like the default pack so let’s just go to my website here pvprp.com which you definitely go check out if you want to pack this viper pack here looks pretty cool so we’re just going to go ahead and download that some packs can be really

Good for your fps and this one looks like quite a good one so uh yeah let’s check it out let’s just put that on and uh yeah no more default minecraft pack i’m just going to disable some of the mods we’ve got on this client

Because we don’t need all of them on at the same time so yeah disable menu blur that’s definitely going to help out quite a lot so let’s play some hypixel here we do get quite a bit of lag in the lobby which is a little bit annoying but you

Can just go into the compass and just select what you want to play geez look at this we’re getting 150 fps that’s really good all right we’re against zupu guy here he’s undefeated apparently can we defeat him on the gaming pc yes we can gg oh my god this is amazing

Considering last video i could barely win a duel to actually been able to play on this computer i’m playing with a wireless keyboard and mouse here so i’m not playing with my gaming peripherals but yeah you know i’m beating people this is actually really playable yeah i’d highly recommend checking out

Lunacline and doing all the stuff that i’ve done in this video if you want to have a good minecraft pvp experience now look at this before i can barely even shoot a bow like just try and get this guy oh we won the rematch as well gg so yeah i think

That’s going to do it for this video if you guys want to see more in-depth guides on how to boost your fps on lower end systems i can definitely do them i’ve got a lot more things that i could try on this computer i just thought i’d

Do the basic settings here by putting an ssd in which a lot of people wanted me to do installing my favorite version of windows and tweaking a couple of settings and look you know we’re getting pretty good playable fps if this video helped you guys make sure to leave a
