Minecraft used to run at high FPS, after some updates it was running at a very low framerates

Minecraft 1.8.9 (Using utility mods) used to run at around 150-200 fps, Minecraft 1.17 (also using utility mods) runs at around 110-150 fps and around 60-80 fps with shaders. After a couple of system updates and some packages (mostly tlp, powertop and optimus-manager, the first two i promptly uninstalled, to try and fix the issue) , both versions and 1.18 were running at around 20-50 fps with slightly worse settings (lowered the render distance, changed from fancy to fast), but with no luck.

How do I get my fps back? (It’s very frustrating, i expected more out of this machine)

Isnt all that elegant … what are you using it for?

Sure you want this instead of 470 ?

There’s nothing wrong with it, I thought it would be relevant information so I put it there.

So I should not upgrade to the latest version of nvidia drivers right?
I guess I’ll try downgrading to 470 then…

I didnt ask that … but there is … and multiple threads here about it not working with latest (not even latest, but new to manjaro-stable) Xorg.

Sounds like your Intel graphics are being used, not your NVIDIA graphics. See Configure Graphics Cards - Manjaro

That doesn’t seem to be the case… The F3 Debug screen reports it using nvidia.
removing the prime-run from the wrapper commands makes the game report using the intel iGPU.

aight, I’ll try removing optimus-manager and see the performance.

EDIT: yes, removing optimus-manager restored the performance. Thanks!
