How much RAM does Minecraft need on a laptop?

8GB runs vanilla, but shaders and modpacks perform far better with 16GB, since Java allocates memory generously.

Do I need an RTX GPU for Minecraft?

Only if you want ray tracing or high-frame shader gameplay. Vanilla Minecraft runs on modest hardware, but shaders demand a dedicated GPU.

Yes. A 144Hz or 165Hz panel makes movement and building feel dramatically smoother than 60Hz, especially in PvP.

Entry RTX 4050 machines like the Acer Nitro V can run lighter shader packs well, though ultra-heavy presets favor stronger GPUs.
