I now that surface pro x can’t run several apps like Minecraft Java but now surface pro x has a new better processor it can run now run 64 bit apps and also surface pro x can now run games that uses OpenGl 3.3 but can i use recent versions of OpenGL on surface pro x sq2 ? 

If surface pro x was able to use OpenGL 4.4 I think that it will run Minecraft Java because OpenGL 4.4 is recommended for running better Minecraft Java on some PC’s

    DomFriant your surface pro x uses Microsoft sq1 cpu adreno 680 gpu I noticed it on the photos that you take in f3 but how many memory does it have ?

    Yeah, I got mine before the SQ2 came out. I got a 16G model. Though based on the F3 info, it's only using 600-700MB of the 2G of memory allocated to the game, so it shouldn't matter if you've got the 8G or 16G model. The SQ2's slightly faster CPU and GPU might give it a bit of an performance increase if that's what you've got.

    I didn't try 2 chucks I don't think, but I was playing around with 4 vs 6. Playing a normal survival game I didn't notice enough difference between 4 vs 6 to make it worth the more limited visibility so 6 seemed a good compromise. I may try 2 just to see what happens. That might work for playing something like bedwars on hypixel where speed might be more valuable than view distance since the arena is already rather small, unless it prevents me from seeing the enemy coming to my base :)

    Did you try playing at 2 chunks not 6 chunks so you might probably gain better performance also that I’m also bad at pvp too

    When you find a way to gain performance in Minecraft try playing pvp games on servers like cubecraft or hypixel

    I've played around with the settings some more, and this is what I've settled on that seems to give decent performance:

    The resolution unfortunately results in black bars on the top and bottom, so I do wonder if there might be a better resolution for the Pro X's screen. Though it doesn't take long to stop noticing it.

    I've played some on a "paper" minecraft server plus hypixel.net:

    It's smooth and responsive enough for at least mod fighting and parkour challenges, but I haven't played a pvp game yet (I'm not all that great at minecraft pvp so I'm probably not a good test monkey for that).

    At this point I'm pretty happy with it. When I upgraded to Windows 11 I thought I was going to be thrilled with finally getting access to the x64 emulation, but honestly being able to play Minecraft Java edition on it has pretty much made me forget about that (and technically you don't even have to switch to Windows 11 to get Minecraft working).
