Minecraft Forums

Hello all,
I am looking for help as to why minecraft is lagging for me, first of all I'll leave my specs here:
CPU: i7 2600k
GPU : MSI Twin Frozr II 580GTX
Motherboard: Asus P8P67 LE
Ram: 8GB
PSU: TX 750 (I think)
OS: Windows 7 64-Bit
I have installed optimine, Jave 64-Bit, allocated more ram to jave and changed process priority to high.
So my question is what can I do to increase my fps from a constant 11-17 with lowest and max settings (no settings change my fps) v-sync is turned off. This happens 95% of the time but then at time it will randomly change and go to 300fps until I restart minecraft then it will just go back to its old self. The computer isn't overheating getting to a max of 65 degress. I have defragged as well I'm just not sure what is going on I have noticed poor performance for my system on other games for what my system is. Any help appreciated.

Thanks

The CPU you use comes with intel HD graphics 3000 installed, minecraft defaults to that (and despite what intel says, Intel HD 3000 is a very low-end GPU) Most dual-GPU systems have a way to use different cards for different programs, us using AMD cards have a nice 'Catalyst control center' Which makes it easy, not sure for your GTX though, google how to force your GTX to be used rather then the Intel default.

I've tried googling but I'm not quite getting how to do it if you could possibly help me further?

Have the most up to date drivers (310.90) tried from all kinda boots, though one thing I did notice was that my gpu was only using 3-4% of my gpu when minecraft was playing.
