short and sweet i wanna know what graphics car ill need t play minecraft on far with 50-80 fps steady and the price. if you are commenting and havent played minecraft dont say it shouldnt take that much this game is insane, it is a hog and it logs a lot on decent computers, you can play crysis with no lag and then go to minecraft and after ten minute its down to 10 fps.i want to know the price as well, keep in mind i cant pay for than $250.

Not even close to true... With $250 in mind, I'd vote for 560 Ti
Honestly you can run Minecraft with a video card that has 128mb of dedicated RAM
Minecraft relies on processing power for all of the god damned random generation that takes place, what you need is GOOD OL FASHION RAM
LOTS N LOTS O' RAM
My work computer has 6gb of ram and an integrated graphics card and it runs minecraft perfectly
press f4 (or f5?) to see how much of a memory hog Minecraft is.
More RAM will not make Minecraft faster. While it is a tiny bit of a RAM hog, 1GB is not exactly a lot nowadays. My girlfriend's old laptop can run it fine with fancy graphics and full view distance, it only has 1.5GB of RAM. It's more CPU intensive than anything, especially when rendering a new world.
OP, just buy a cheap $60 graphics card, it should be fine. If you choose to buy anything more expensive make sure your PSU is putting out enough power.
Are you sure it's not just your computer that makes minecraft slow? If it's old and outdated that could be why, a graphics card won't help you there.
Yeah, minecraft isn't exactly a comp usage hogger. Unless you are trying to max it out. Which you dont need an extreme rig to do so. AMD sells video cards cheap, and can really boost performance on most games. But make sure you look up he card on Google or YouTube, to make sure it will it will boost your performance.
I'm running Minecraft on a HP Laptop, G72 to be exact, 500GB HDD, 4GB RAM, 2GHz Intel Pentium Dual Core, and I can't play Minecraft on Fancy, I have to play on Fast. I also can't play on Render Distance: Far or I'll lag after like 10 minutes. So how do I get rid of lag?
You can have some idiotic integrated graphics card and still run Minecraft fine.
Minecraft doesn't make use of the GPU that much; as HonestFlames said, it's mainly the trees that push the GPU. Other than that, Minecraft's main hog is memory and CPU. If you have four gigs of RAM, which is standard nowadays, you'll be fine. I'm not too familiar with processor benchmarks with Minecraft, but if it was made in the last two-three years it should be ok, though the Intel Atoms are really strained by Minecraft, so I rephrase that as "anything made in the last two-three years that isn't a laptop processor".

Need help building/buying a computer? Shoot me a message.
any suggestions on a decent card for about 60 bucks with a PCI (NOT express) on a stock (from factory) mother board?
its kind of a older computer, with 4gb of ram (i maxed out the motherboard) and a Pentium 4 processor . not a "HC Gaming Rig" but i would like to run it at 40 frames with out OptiFine (it ****s my x-ray D:) i get from 3-25 frames now. thanks in advance.

My friend has that bad laptop. The G72 is very bad. It has a GMA 4500 for crying out loud. That thing is bad.

Keep in mind: $225 after rebate, $8 shipping, and free Batman: Arkham City game ($50 value).
I don't often follow threads I post in. If you'd like a response about something, send me a PM.
Heres how i get a low lag game:
1. Open Task Manager
2. Click Minecraft
3. Open Processes
4. Right click on JavaW and hover over "Set Priority"
5. Change priority to High
Note: You must have minecraft running when you do this.
brb I'm having laughing fits.
You don't even understand what that does. That is in regards to the processor. Nothing to do with Minecraft and rendering.

Let your anger be as a monkey in a piñata... hiding amongst the candy... hoping the kids don't break through with the stick!
We are what we eat and we are who we meet. These are not mutually exclusive.
I can run the game on far, fancy, all that good stuff at 65-80 frames per second.
Other specs if interested:
RAM: Patriot Sector 5 4Gb
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 B55 Processor with 3 cores @ 3.7Ghz
RAM != processing power.

(given you're cpu is decent)
