Not only is the game-world changing as you play, but it is also adapting to the changes that are a result of how you interact with other elements in the game. In a game, the image that is rendered is changing constantly e.g., when you’re in active combat in an FPS. Instead, we’re dealing with moving images and the images aren’t like those in a video where an app simply has to play through a sequence of them. This is a basic explanation but when we’re talking games, we’re not just talking about colors. GPU or graphics processing unit handles how a game looks. It should read GPU 1 to indicate it is using the GPU and not the on-board graphics card.

Select it and check the GPU Engine column.

On the Processes tab, look for Minecraft.

Right-click the Taskbar and select Task Manager from the context menu.

Open Minecraft, select a world, and allow it to load.

To check if Minecraft is using the GPU or not, use Task Manager. When you run the game, it will now use the dedicated GPU instead of the on-board graphics card.

If you have Minecraft open, close it and then open it again.

A new window will open within the Settings app with three different options that you can select.

Once Minecraft has been added, select it, and click Options.

Open the ‘Select App’ dropdown (for UWP apps), or click the Browse button (for Classic apps).

If you have the Bedrock version of the app, select Univeral app.

If you have the Java version of Minecraft, select Classic app.

On the Graphics Settings window, open the ‘ Choose an app to set preference‘ dropdown.

Scroll to the bottom, and click Graphics settings.

It will work regardless if you have an NVIDIA GPU or an AMD GPU. This fix works for the Minecraft Java version, and for the UWP/Bedrock/Windows 10 version. Fortunately, on Windows 10, it is really easy to get Minecraft to use the GPU. In doing so, it basically renders the GPU useless and you may as well not have one at all as far as the game is concerned. Sometimes, even when a system has a GPU, Minecraft tends to use the on-board graphics instead. Movement in the game will be more fluid and the look of it will be more real though the level or realism depends on how power the GPU is. If you have a GPU, it will help exponentially with the game it will render better, and run more smoothly. Modding the game will be out of the question. Common problems you’ll face, aside from a low FPS, is that the game will take longer to render new blocks, your FOV will be much lower, the animations will either be choppy or they won’t work at all. Minecraft is an app that can run with just the on-board graphics card. You don’t necessarily need a GPU to play the game but as stated earlier, you’ll get a lesser experience.
