Will turning off background apps give Minecraft more fps?

[ImpoliteSand868]

I've got lots of apps that I never use running in the background on my laptop.

I've decided to disable most except the ones I do use.

This will give my laptop a little more power to work with right?

so by theory, Minecraft should be more smooth & have more fps, cause it'll have more resources available?

yes, it will, but it also depends on what graphic details your Minecraft is running and how much RAM you have.

Hi, I agree the amount of RAM is very important for the fluidity of the game

Wrong in Minecraft's case, more than 3gb of ram allocated to the vanilla game will just degrade performance, too much ram is useless and slow.

It could boost your Performance.

Especially on a weak Laptop.

This could always help. Not only in Minecraft!

Yeah. I think this is a problem because Minecraft tries really hard to keep Memory usage clean.

 

So more Memory space means more Garbage Collection performance is taken??

 

It would make sense to me. I really need to read a bit about Memory in Java ^^
