Hello people I have been running minecraft on 2 gigs of my system's 8 gigs of GDDR3. I have a Gigabyte Nvidia Geforce GTX 650 Ti that has two gigs of GDDR5 that is running at 6Ghz which I know is at least 4 times faster than my regular GDDR3. I was wondering if there was any way, maybe a batch file command, that could force minecraft to run on the faster ram. Its not an immediate problem, but I would like to know just in case it helps.
Thank you
I think it is what he was talking about. I have the same graphics card and would love to know how to use the GDDR5 RAM instead of the System DDR3 RAM. Since minecraft is graphics related, I would expect tht it should be able to use the GDDR5 (the graphics card RAM) yet it doesnt, it only uses the DDR3 (System RAM)
You can't force it to use the faster ram. The gpu ram is only ever used for rendering and related things like AA and such. Java is separate and runs within the system memory.
Right, you can't run programs off of your GPU's VRam. It just doesn't work that way. You shouldn't be having FPS issues with a 650Ti anyway. Now if you are using Optifine and you want to take advantage of the large frambuffer, turn on the Anti Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering options to like 8x each and run some nice 256x textures. You can monitor frambuffer and GPU utilization using the "Sensors" tab of GPU-Z.

yes but the graphics part of minecraft should run off the V-RAM, not the system RAM. Though I used MSI AfterBurner and I realize that it is using the VRAM for the graphical part. So all is good.
