Minecraft benchmark on GTX 1060 6GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Minecraft FPS with a GTX 1060 6GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 111FPS min 68Good | 68FPS min 54Good | 30FPS min 27Acceptable |
| High | 144FPS min 89Excellent | 88FPS min 69Good | 39FPS min 35Acceptable |
| Medium | 189FPS min 116Excellent | 115FPS min 91Good | 50FPS min 44Acceptable |
| Low | 244FPS min 150Excellent | 149FPS min 118Excellent | 65FPS min 58Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 44% | CPU 14% | GPU 53% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the GTX 1060 6GB. There is 31% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Minecraft at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the GTX 1060 6GB with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 111 | 139 | 161 |
| 1440p | 68 | 92 | 112 |
| 4K | 30 | 44 | 56 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 1060 6GB has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the GTX 1060 6GB has headroom to spare in Minecraft: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the GTX 1060 6GB Enough for Minecraft?
The GTX 1060 6GB delivers 111 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Minecraft. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 68 FPS and at 4K 30 FPS at Ultra quality.
