Recommended settings
For 60 FPS at 1080p
Use the ultra preset. You already clear 60 FPS on high, so this leaves headroom for dips in busy scenes.
At 1440p
Comfortable — around 470 FPS on high.
At 4K
Around 470 FPS on high — genuinely viable.
Upscaling
Minecraft: Java Edition supports DLSS. Your card does not support the upscalers this game offers. Compare upscalers.
