Okay, so, here's the thing. I have checked all of my drivers and stuff like that and my computer has an Intel HD Graphics Family graphics card. I did research and I couldn't find anything that said this graphics card is crap for games like Minecraft. Anyway, I run MC with optifine and some days it runs really really well (109 or so FPS) but most days it runs at like 20 to 30 FPS and lags to about 10 to 5 every chunk update this is while on lowest graphics and most of everything turned off. So, does ANYONE know what the deal is with Minecraft and is there anyway I can fix it?
I know you said changing your graphics card is out of the question, but I must ask, exactly why is it out of the question? Is it an integrated card? (most Intel HDs are) Also, is this computer a Desktop or a Laptop? More Specs would be nice, and "adding" RAM doesn't really help at all unless you're under 2GB.
20 or 30 fps is nothing.... my peak fps was ~70 and every 5 mins or so the fps goes down to ~10.
anyway, what you could try to do to improvev it is to kill any program you're not using temporarily that are running in the background by bringing up the task manager.
Ok thanks for that I'll check it out and see what I can do to fix it!
