Hi and thanks for reaching the MICROSOFT XBOX COMMUNITY forums

Hope you're doing great today despite this Nicholas

I found something that could help you, please give it a try:

By the way, double check if your graphics card driver is up to date

This is a non-Microsoft website. The page appears to be providing accurate, safe information. Watch out for ads on the site that may advertise products frequently classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

If you are having the same issue despite using the guide in Josef's Answer:

If you are using a ModPack Launcher such as Curseforge or others, you may not be able to make Minecraft use your GPU despite using the guide, even if you are launching from the Minecraft Launcher.

I uninstalled my ModPack Launcher as I was not using it, and this solved the problem.

For people who want to keep using the ModPack Launcher and resolve the issue, you may have to find Minecraft.exe within the files of that Launcher and do the same thing as in the guide.

Make sure that your GPU is being used and not the one on the chip.

Go to Windows settings, go to system and the. power and put it on high performance, this should force it to the GPU

To Fix Minecraft Stuck at Red Screen at startup, try the fixes below and see if that helps: Update the Display driver for Integrated and External GPU. If you have an external GPU disabled, try to enable it in Device Manager. In the Graphics Settings, enable High-Performance mode for Minecraft.

I don;'t know how to do it with AMD, but the game is likely only using the GPU onboard the processor

Go to power settings in the control panel and set it to high performance also often works
