I just got my copy of minecraft today and when i started playing i was only getting about 30 fps. I searched around and tried about every possible thing i could. I tried running 64bit version, OptiFine, giving it more memory, and spoutcraft...none of these improved my fps at all. I leave my pc spec below hope you all can help me fix this issue.


Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
Memory: 16GB RAM
Graphic Card: ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series

If i missed any specs let me know so i can list them.

Thanks so much for your reply the first link help out alot. I don't understand why it doesn't work without using OptiFine though.

hmm i don't seem to have any background music or pick up sounds.

I have an FX-6100 and a HD 6570 and I don't lag at 1080p with 32-bit Java without any mods (before I installed 64-bit Java).
Are you sure you're using your graphics card instead of integrated graphics?

How can i tell if i am?

With your Graphics Card (Radeon HD) all of your graphics should be set to the highest performance setting. (not in-game necessarily but in your control panel for graphics [Catalyst Control Centre?]) Since your i7 (I believe) has Intel Integrated Graphics 3000 HD (absolute rubbish) it might be trying to use it for everything (definitely wouldn't work for any slightly-acceptable framerate).

I edited some of my settings and now i get 300 fps in minecraft without OptiFine...thanks!
