Minecraft Forums

Hi guys! like i wrote in the topic title i've got good stuff on my laptop,but Minecraft is hard to run,and i can't even get to put the GFX at least Smooth on Normal distance.

I'd be very thankful if someone took the time to tell me how i get to make it faster,if there is another option than buying a new GFX card.

Right now i can only play on Short view distance and non-smooth lighting,which makes for a rather...different game experience.

Thanks guys!! ~Brunet Paquet~

Yes, specs plz

OS: Windows 7
RAM: 6144 MB (6.1 GB)
Cores: i'm not sure,my laptop is french but i think it's 2.

(These are times when i regret having set my PC in french,as some stuff is hard to figure out.)

What is the Graphics card?

Sorry for the slow reply.

Intel® HD Graphics Family is my graphic card.

Oh and when i bought the laptop,it was a Radeon card. not sure what radeon card it was,but it was waaayyy superior to the one i've got.

No idea what happened here,and there's zero trolling involved in this.

All my laptop's other aspects than Videogame playing are at least 6.0,but Videogame playing is a tiny 4.7,which explains entirely why it's so slow.

Intel HD graphics are horrible(I have a laptop with one. Running 10-25 FPS like a baws :P). You need to get a different one. I recommend the Radeon you had(Those are pretty good) or an Nvidia one.

Try to update the driver. Intel has been aggressively updating their drivers on the HD line these last few months and bumped performance. Other than that, as others have said... it's Intel and graphics!
