I have been playing minecraft recently and noticed that it is running slowly for the computer I have. I've tried everything it seems but I can't get minecraft to use my dedicated GPU

Acer Nitro 5 an515-42 R5ED

AMD Ryzen 5 2500U Mobile Processor with Radeon Vega 8 Graphics

AMD's Website for Processor

AMD RADEON RX 560X(4GB)

AMD's Website for GPU

8GB Ram

Here are pictures showing that it is set to high performance and still using Vega graphics

show me your "switchable GPU"-listing in Powerplan

should be "maximize performance" and not "optimal performance"

Here is the powerplan

:/ THAT SAYS NOTHING!!!

go to "advanced option"

there should be "switchable Graphics" for you
you set this to "maximize performance"

Thank you so much!

I feel like I looked everywhere for the answer.

I had no idea you had to go through there and set it as max performance instead of high performance.

Once again, Thank You!
