Can it run
Minecraft (shaders) is a moderately demanding game on the graphics card: a used RX 6600 (about $208 today) is the cheapest card we track that gets 60+ fps at 1080p, and the Arc B570 (about $289 today) is the cheapest card we track that gets 60+ fps at 1440p.

Smooth = 60+ fps · Playable = 40+ · Lower = 25+ · No = under 25. ~ = estimate; ! = less video memory than the game wants at that resolution. Native resolution, high or ultra settings, no upscaling. Estimates scale each card's 11-game average from the Tom's Hardware GPU hierarchy (June 2026) by how demanding Minecraft (shaders) is (formula). Prices re-checked daily, last ; Sample = PC Atlas catalog estimate, not a live store price.
Minecraft (shaders) is a moderately demanding game on the graphics card: a used RX 6600 (about $208 today) is the cheapest card we track that gets 60+ fps at 1080p, and the Arc B570 (about $289 today) is the cheapest card we track that gets 60+ fps at 1440p.
For 60+ fps at 1080p on high settings, about RX 6600-level performance or faster (about 70 fps (estimate)).
About 6 GB at 1080p, 8 GB at 1440p and 12 GB at 4K on high textures. Cards with less can still run it with textures turned down.
