Shader Hardware Benchmark

Performance tests for Gradius VibrantShader across different generations of Intel integrated graphics.

Resolution: 1920×1080

Minecraft: 26.2

Mod loader: Fabric

Renderer: Sodium + Iris

Minecraft settings: Default — no in-game settings were changed

Memory allocation: Default 4 GB

Optimization mods: Used alongside Sodium/Iris

| CPU | Integrated GPU | Resolution | FPS |
|—|—|—:|—:|
| Intel Core i3 11th Gen G4 | Intel UHD Graphics | 1920×1080 | 48–55 FPS |
| Intel Core i5 12th Gen | Intel UHD 730 | 1920×1080 | ~36 FPS |
| Intel Core i3 12th Gen | Intel UHD Graphics | 1920×1080 | 30–40 FPS |
| Intel Core i5 4th Gen | Intel HD 4600 | 1280×720 | 23–34 FPS |

Test Conditions

All tests were performed using Minecraft’s default in-game settings with no manual graphics configuration changes.

• Minecraft 26.2
• Fabric
• Sodium
• Iris
• Additional optimization mods
• 4 GB default memory allocation
• No manual graphics-quality tuning
• No resolution scaling
• No shader-specific performance configuration changes

Note: The HD 4600 test was performed at 1280×720, while the other listed systems were tested at 1920×1080. These results should therefore not be considered a direct GPU performance comparison.

Upcoming Features

1. Shader Grass
2. Better Rain & Thunder visual
3. Better Nether & End visual
4. Better underwater visual
5. Exprimental RTRT settings (Real Time Compute Ray Tracing for AMD’s GCN architecture and the Polaris family especially gonna optimized for PS4pro Gradius & liverpool GPU
