Hello all, I bought a 7850 a while back and it work pretty damn awesome in all titles but this one; in this one it uses 0% of my GPU and I get close to 20 FPS on a good day. I upgraded from a 4850 which netted me about 80 FPS or higher. I've tried AA/AF in the control panel to make the GPU "work" more and tried setting the priority to high. I've done a few other minor things but nothing seems to help at all. And I OC'ed the card by 1mhz to stop it from going into the "Zero" state these cards usually do, and while MSI/CCC are reporting that's working it doesn't seem to have any real effect though it reduced some minor stutters in Skyrim.

Any help guys?
Put strain on the system. Turn minecraft all the way up (use optifine if you have to) and see if it helps.

What are your system specs?
Turned everything up and increased load via CC, optifine unfortunately isn't up to date so not really an option.
C2Q 6600 3.O ghz (tried reseting to default clocks, Fps droped due to slower speeds)
XFX 7850 2gb 1 mhz OC to cancel to low clock speed bug (tried normal clocks, makes it worse)
ASUS P5N E-SLI
Generic Samsung RAM 1gb x4
XFX PSU 550w (can't remember name but it's a decent one and more than enough to hold what I have)
It's most definitely a bottle neck, but not in this game. Not to mention I already said I used to run this game flawlessly with a 4850 but for some reason swapping to the 7850 I get crap frames. I would blame the GPU for having some problem but it work as expected in all other applications, just not minecraft. It seems minecraft just doesn't work well with this generation of card, people have been having problems left and right with them.
Might be a stupid suggestion. But have you installed the 6pin adapter for the GPU? Only thing I can think of as the 2fps might be coming from the integrated GPU. This is because the 4850 is motherboard powered from the PCIe slot and some people, when upgrading, forget to install the 6pin adapter.
Both the 4850's and the 7850's required a 6 pin, I believe only the latest 4850's stopped using the 6 pin, but I didn't have one of those.
Also, the MB warns me when I leave it unplugged, either that or the card does, I accidently did that once and it warned me so before I even reached BIOS.
Kind of an obvious answer, but you are plugging your monitor into the card, not the motherboard, right?
It just seems strange because running Minecraft at 20fps should not be keeping the GPU usage at 0%.
Yes, lol.
Believe me I'm baffled by this whole ordeal as well, as I've said I've tried anything from different cords to different drivers.
On a side note, I uninstalled and reinstalled java for like the 3rd time and this time it allows me to play at about 40-80 FPS depending on conditions, so I'm at least capable of playing again, yay!
I still know this far below where it SHOULD be playing though, so if any suggestions pop up I'm still watching. I'd still like this fixed.
Minor update, tried overclocking my CPU to 3.0Ghz and managed to finally break that 60 FPS barrier, It settles now around 70 fps but this is quite obviously very low for my system. I am currently at the same spot where I started when I had a 4850. If anyone has any input on the matter please post.

I highly doubt it.
No they don't, still on good 'ol fashion MB graphics, though I checked to see if I could to disable but to no avail.
