So heres the scoop, My average FPS is 35-45 when playing minecraft at full resolution, and at normal distance. However, lowering settings like switching down to 1280x720, using Optifine (with everything set to fast), and distance set down to tiny only increases that to an average of 65. Other posters in the minecraft wiki's specs page (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Hardware_performance) have posted around 80-120 fps with computers of similar specs, and so mine doesn't seem to be operating at full potential. The laptop is plugged in, its not in powersaving, and switchable graphics is set to high performance for both javaw.exe and minecraft.exe so i'm wondering what else it might be?
