Whenever I play MC I run at 25-50 FPS but after about a minute of playing I go below 15 frames. Is there any way to keep my FPS consistent? Sorry if this has already been asked or if there's already an answer to it.
Framerate will never be consistent on any system unless you have vertical sync on and always generating more frames per second than the sync point.

I generally play minecraft on my 40 inch hdtv. I plug into it via an hdmi cable. When I do this I don't have any problems and the game runs at 80 fps with all settings as high up as I can pump them.
This completely changes when I try to play this game just on the laptop. My fps drops to 15 and the game is extremely choppy.
First, I assume you're talking about the same system, a laptop, and not two different systems? If it's the same system and the framerate drops this much there's something wrong with your driver and/or configuration. Try updating your video driver.

I don't think you grasp the concept of framerate. There is no "default" framerate. It's a measurement of how fast your PC is rendering frames each second, and can be anywhere from less than 1 to near-infinity. Most people aim for either 60 frames per second or 30 frames per second (FPS). 30 for video, and 60 for gaming. Most LCD monitors can't refresh faster than 60 times a second (60Hz). If you're doing more than 30 FPS most of the time, then you're probably fine.
I've updated my drivers and its still slow. What do you mean by configuration?

I get 12-20 frames with short render distance, fast graphics and smooth lighting off. Shouldn't I be getting playable fps? I seem to get the same fps no matter what settings I change, it's really frustrating.

A 520M should be more than adequate for Minecraft, especially when coupled with a Core i5 SandyBridge CPU. [*:1rv4wy2y]What resolution are you gaming at?
[*:1rv4wy2y]Did you install the latest NVIDIA drivers or just run with whatever came with the laptop?
[*:1rv4wy2y]Did you install the same software you use on your older system? If so, what do you run? A HijackThis report might help.

Hey, thanks for replying.
1. Desktop is 1366x768, I run Minecraft maximized
2. Latest drivers
3. It's a brand new laptop with Windows 7, I've only installed antivirus and programs such as winrar.

Why is the OP so high and mighty about his computer knowledge when he hates Linux and buys a HP machine rather than build his own. He also talks about irrelevant crap about Valve games trying to make himself sound impressive.
Its easy to increasing FPS in Mine craft. Creating a separate partition on the same drive will do nothing for speed. You're using the same platter with the same read/write speed and same throughput. It will help with volume organization and OS fragmentation (since you're not constantly writing to the OS file system), but not to an appreciable degree. Same drive partitioning is better used for redundancy (OS and data in separate partitions so if the OS gets corrupted a reinstall won't destroy your data) or when necessary (SWAP, / , /home, <etc>). NTFS file systems don't fragment all that bad under normal use.
He did. Don't fault him if you can't read English. :wink.gif: The only word out of place is "increasing" instead of "increase".

You start of saying it's easy to increase framerate in Minecraft, but then you go on to talk about why partitioning isn't helpful. What you say is true, but not helpful since this was already discussed in great detail.
Well, I won't be around helping anymore. I lost confidence in the people who run these forums after the recent switch over.
No individual notification they were going to do this. They should have sent PMs or e-mails about this.
When it was done, passwords were hosed, so we had to reset them.
Then passwords hosed a second time, so we had to reset them again.
And this curse merge crap: I don't want anything to do with Curse but they're forcing me to merge the two.
Forum posts from the past with special formatting or even bullet lists were garbled.
No thank you: I recognize poor work when I see it. I have no idea how much work the organizers/admins here did, but I'm sure they had a lot to do in a little time. All-in-all they got the job done, but at the sacrifice of making users bend over backwards to accomplish it. That's a big no-no in the world of IT and web hosting. Things should be almost seamless for the end-user. Who's to say they won't do the same again in the future?
Of course the organizers/admins are probably fine people in r/l. I don't know them, so this isn't anything personal. It's just about the poor experience I've had in their switch process as a customer of their free service. But there are plenty of forums out there in the world with plenty of free services. Good luck everyone and have fun in Minecraft. :smile.gif:

Well that's too bad. Thanks for all your positive and helpful responses. I know the readers have appreciated it. I'm sure you'll continue that path on another (better?) forum.
For what it's worth, this is certainly not the worst forum "upgrade" I've seen. Recently a forum I stalk did an "upgrade" and ended up being down for about a week, then had broken search and broken PMs. And it has PAID membership!
Cheers and good luck!

Indeed. The worst I've seen in the past was around 2007 or so with [H] Hard forums (computer hardware community). They were down for a long time, with all sorts of moving issues.
I'm just wanting to know the default frame-rate of minecraft, x9090 to the person who can help!
Anyways, thanks for the helpful mods. I have a pitiful laptop which struggles with tiny rendering distance.

Alright, but is there a way to keep it stable for long periods of time?

No. Unless the software developer built-in an option to limit framerates to a specific value. To my knowledge, Minecraft doesn't have that.
How you have your Windows configured, what software you have installed, what services, what third-party processes running in memory, etc., etc.
I just got a new laptop and I'm getting the same fps as with the old one.
Core i5-2410M @2.3 GHz - 2.9 GHZ with turbo boost
4 GB RAM
Geforce 520m

Take care man. Good luck holding down the fort for performance/troubleshooting issues. :smile.gif:
It adds lot of tweaks and removes random lag and stutter. For best results on slower computers with integrated graphics combine it with Optimine.
Doubling the FPS is common.

When It rains My FPS goes down from 75-80 to 30-35 (Extremely Lag when I Face to the Forest or that has trees) Now It's 74=80 FPS Again...
