Need to find a good, >500$ GPU for Minecraft RTX, or a decent GTX gpu to run good minecraft Java shaders, or anything similar as a substitute.

I like and am picky with Minecraft graphical enchantments, whether it's RTX (Bedrock) or rasterization (Java). However, they require some goddamn expensive hardware (You cont get crap without having to spend over 1000$) to work well. And with my weak Intel HD 5000 laptop things didn't go so well in running shaders. It took me from trying so hard to boost my computer into a boost clock HD 5500 integrated, lowering the screen resolution to 800x600, lowering the general and shader settings like render quality, as well as lowering the render distance to 2, and the shader itself is a performance shader called BSL. All to just get 30-40 FPS.

If you are going to bring up bedrock shaders, They are mostly nothing but bright colors (Due to the limited graphics engine) for kids who don't understand basic info about hardware/graphics. Please, there is no point in getting a 500$ phone. And I don't think my computer would be prone to running a very "high end" mobile "shader" with PBR texture packs.

As for the Xbox I have (Xbox One S), welp. There is NO JAVA Minecraft on there, let alone optifine to run shaders. There is a bedrock edition on there, but that version has the render dragon engine (Which is for bedrock RTX) instead of the engine used for those pusedo-shaders I mentioned, so none of that crap, and there are no shaders for render dragon due to developer irresponsibility and incompetency of Mojang. Now thankfully, there is a xbox series x which is 500$ and runs like a 2080 Super and can now run RTX on Minecraft right? Nope, they have never added it for the 9th gen consoles due to developer irresponsibility and incompetency (The console versions are neglected to the point of not giving the correct optimization for these systems) even though it was "accidentally" added, had RTX 2080 Super levels of performance when tried, and removed Because "it wasn't supposed to be there".

So with all of this BS going on. Is there any thoughts? Questions? Recommendations? Criticisms? Anything? Well, thank you all.
