[p]So I am on a really bad 2011 13-inch mac (it sounds bad already x_x) and its really slow on minecraft. Now, I already know what the problem is, it's that the graphics card is absolute AIDs. It's an INTEL HD graphics 3000, 512 MB. Such trash. I'm just wondering, if anyone also relates to this problem and needs help, you could answer this. I mean, don't just spam PUT OPTIFINE ON because I have, and literally everything bad is off, and settings are for best fps, and on servers such as Hypixel, in pvp i get... 15 FPS. Bangers. I mean, I'm open for all suggestions except for 1. GET OPTIFINE. 2. GET BETTER GRAPHICS CARD (Because its a bad mac and I cant switch it out, also I cant afford to spend 500 dollas on getting fps in mc) 3. GET A NEW COMPUTER (cant afford to spend that much $ on fps on mc).[/p]
[p]Other stuff:[/p]
[p]Proccessor: [/p]
2.3 GHz Intel Core i5[/p]
Memory:[/p]
16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3[/p]
And unfortunately, the mac only came with 1 graphics card, which is the terrible Intel one.[/p]
Any other information besides IP and dumb things like that I may answer.[/p]
Also, unless you have a way on MAC, which I haven't seen yet, don't tell me to update graphics card. Literally all tutorials are for PC.[/p]
Thank you.[/p]
Did you change the other settings I told you? Also, try in singleplayer, on "popular servers" there are ton of things going on, specially players, that slow things down

it doesn't matter, the PC is garbage. The whole thing isn't worth it, it just needs replacing.
From his post: "3. GET A NEW COMPUTER (cant afford to spend that much $ on fps on mc)."
And from the specs he said: "2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 Memory: 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3"
RAM is a little slow but that easily upgradable and it doesnt matter much really. He didnt say CPU model but from the speed it must be one of the newest ones, as the older generations generally had more GHz
Thats not a bad PC...

I missed that, sorry. It's still not a great PC but to run minecraft a cheap GPU would do better yeah. He should be able to run it on integrated though, that confuses me. I've been able to get 60 fps on integrated. Does he have Optifine installed?
[p]I do have optifine installed.[/p]
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2415M CPU @ 2.30GHz[/p]
I believe that is the CPU model...? If you needed it.[/p]
Also, what kind of GPU should I take a look at?[/p]
[p]Also, is it just me that where every "enter" or new line there is a bracket, slash, and a p, and a closing bracket :/[/p]

I don't think its your GPU. Simple as that. I played MC for 2 years on a Chromebook, with intel HD graphics (128 MB of video ram) and it ran at 30-60 fps on popular servers with a render distance around 9. MC is not at all GPU intensive, but rather CPU intensive. If you have optifine installed, go to "animations", and click "all off." This increases fps dramatically. Turn down the rest of the settings while you are at it. you can make it playable.
On a side note, are the fans spinning? My MacBook Pro (2015)'s fans stopped spinning a few weeks ago. It killed performance until I sent it to be repaired.

Intel graphics suck at supporting minecraft. If my computer had come with a nvidia card like some of the 2011 models do then it might be a bit better.
this is all from what i've heard when searching up stuff like this... correct me if im wrong

Some of the newer generation doesnt suck as bad, but if you want to do games, you definately need a gpu
