So this sorta sounds like your typical Shaders Mod tech support question, and those usually always come down to "Shaders Mod takes ton of FPS loss to run, just don't run it". The problem here however, lies somewhere else. Recently (a few months ago) I upgraded to a new graphics card (Nvidia 560ti -> AMD R9 290), which by most games is a massive upgrade. However, for minecraft, it seems to be the exact opposite. I haven't really noticed a difference in FPS in main vanilla minecraft, but with Shaders installed, it's a whole other rodeo. With my 560ti, I was rolling about 60+ FPS, but now on my R90, I'll be lucky to snag 15-20 FPS, when in vanilla, my new card gives me 100+.
I hear that minecraft runs better on Nvidia, but it seems there's something more to the tale. I instantly lose FPS everywhere in minecraft, as soon as the Shaders mod is installed. I'm talking within the menus, even entering a normal game without shaders on, still holds FPS loss as if there is a shader on. Not sure what's going on there, but I don't remember having that problem with my 560ti, as the FPS loss (which did exist with it) only happened once I turned a shader on. I just want to go back to playing with good ole shaders on. Can I get some help?
