Reduce Performance Impact on Low-End Systems
Lower Shader Quality Settings
Access shader options and look for quality or performance presets. This shader is designed to be lightweight, but you can optimize further:
- Select a low or medium quality preset if available
- Disable any optional visual enhancements beyond the core outline effect
- Reduce render distance if frame rates still dip
Disable Conflicting Features
If you're running other visual mods or shaders alongside this one, disable them. Multiple shader packs or visual enhancement mods compete for GPU resources and will tank performance.
Monitor Frame Rate
Use F3 debug screen (or your launcher's FPS counter) to track performance. Adjust outline intensity and thickness downward if FPS drops below your target. These settings have minimal impact on performance, but every bit helps on budget hardware.
Check Render Distance and Particles
Reduce world render distance and particle effects in Video Settings. These settings affect performance more than the shader itself. The outline shader should run smoothly even on integrated graphics when other settings are optimized.
