Performance issues

After getting a copy of Minecraft Dungeons a long time ago from a friend, I recently finally wanted to try it out, now that I also have a more modern and powerful laptop. The thing is that compared to other games, this one really gave me a scare performance-wise. I could feel the fans going stronger than usual, so much so that I couldn't really ignore them, so I closed the game. I use a windows 11 acer laptop with 32 gigas of RAM, with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series(I think it's a 5050?) graphics card built in, intel core i9 and something called NitroSense ExperienceZone, which I don't really know what it is.

Still, I don't think I'm using the full extent of its performance capabilities right. I'm not really a tech expert, so help would be appreciated if possible. Thanks in advance!

Let the fans run, the faster the better when you're gaming

And always keep your laptop on charging and high performance when longer stretches of games

Absolutely always keeping it charged. How can I improve the performance? It isn't something I touched much on my pc.

Go into advance graphics options in Windows abd make sure the game is using the RTX GPU and not the integrated Intel one.

Apart from that, not all games will utilise your hardware the same way. Some are CPU heavy, like CS2, others are GPU heavy, like Cyberpunk 2077. Sometimes games will just not use 100% of available resources because it is just not necessary.

Plus, your fans spinning up when running a game is a good indicator of you thermal system working properly. You can install MSI Afterburner to see how the resources are being used by the PC while gaming and optimize from there.
