Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings produce 409 FPS average, Medium 324 FPS (275 min, 372 max), High 257 FPS, and Ultra 161 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 60.7% drop in frame rate, with each settings tier costing approximately 20-25% performance. The Medium preset's minimum of 275 FPS still exceeds typical 240Hz monitor refresh rates, making this resolution well-suited for competitive play.

Moving to 2560x1440, frame rates remain strong but show clear scaling. Low averages 258 FPS, Medium 204 FPS (174 min, 235 max), High 162 FPS, and Ultra 101 FPS. The transition from Low to Ultra represents a 60.9% reduction, similar to the 1080p scaling pattern. At this resolution, Medium settings maintain a 174 FPS minimum, which comfortably supports 144Hz displays, while Ultra drops to 101 FPS average, still adequate for 100Hz panels but leaving less headroom.

At 3840x2160, performance becomes more demanding. Low averages 135 FPS, Medium 107 FPS (91 min, 123 max), High 85 FPS, and Ultra 53 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K produces only 53 FPS average, which is playable but falls below 60 FPS thresholds. Medium settings provide the best balance at 4K, with a 91 FPS minimum ensuring smooth gameplay. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K shows a 60.7% drop, consistent with other resolutions, indicating the GPU's rendering load scales proportionally with settings across all tested resolutions.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals clear GPU-bound behavior. At Low settings, FPS drops from 409 at 1080p to 258 at 1440p (a 36.9% reduction) and further to 135 at 4K (a 67.0% reduction from 1080p). This scaling aligns with pixel count increases: 1440p has 1.78x the pixels of 1080p, and 4K has 4x the pixels. The observed drops are less severe than pixel-count scaling would suggest, indicating some CPU limitation at 1080p that becomes less relevant at higher resolutions.

For Medium settings, the progression is 324 FPS at 1080p, 204 FPS at 1440p, and 107 FPS at 4K. The 1080p to 1440p drop of 37.0% and the 1080p to 4K drop of 67.0% mirror the Low settings pattern closely. High settings show 257 FPS at 1080p, 162 FPS at 1440p, and 85 FPS at 4K, with drops of 37.0% and 66.9% respectively. Ultra settings follow suit: 161 FPS at 1080p, 101 FPS at 1440p, and 53 FPS at 4K, representing 37.3% and 67.1% reductions.

The consistency of these percentage drops across all settings presets strongly indicates the GPU is the primary bottleneck at every resolution tested. If the CPU were limiting performance, we would expect frame rates to plateau at lower resolutions, but instead they scale proportionally with pixel count. The RX 7600 XT's 128-bit memory bus and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth appear sufficient for Minecraft's demands, while its 22.57 TFLOPS compute provides the raw throughput needed for this title. The 4K Ultra result of 53 FPS suggests that this resolution and settings combination approaches the GPU's practical limit for smooth gameplay.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

For 1080p displays, the Medium preset at 324 FPS average (275 min) provides an excellent experience, delivering frame rates that exceed even 240Hz monitors. The High preset at 257 FPS remains highly capable for 144Hz displays, while Ultra at 161 FPS still supports 144Hz panels but with less margin. Given the minimal visual difference between Medium and High in Minecraft's block-based rendering, Medium offers the best balance of performance and quality for most users at this resolution.

At 1440p, Medium settings at 204 FPS (174 min) are the clear recommendation for high-refresh-rate gaming, as the minimum frame rate comfortably exceeds 144Hz thresholds. High settings at 162 FPS also work well for 144Hz displays, while Ultra at 101 FPS is suitable for 100Hz monitors but sacrifices the smoothness that lower presets provide. Low settings at 258 FPS may appeal to competitive players seeking maximum responsiveness, but the visual downgrade may not be justified given Medium's strong performance.

For 4K, Medium settings at 107 FPS (91 min) deliver the best experience, maintaining frame rates above 90 FPS at all times. High settings at 85 FPS are playable but leave less headroom for scene complexity, while Ultra at 53 FPS falls below the 60 FPS threshold that many consider the minimum for smooth gameplay. Low settings at 135 FPS provide an alternative for those prioritizing frame rate over visual fidelity, but Medium's combination of performance and quality makes it the optimal choice for 4K displays. The data suggests that users should avoid Ultra settings at any resolution above 1080p unless they prioritize visual quality over frame rate consistency.
