I set Java to hi priority, I set mincraft to use My NVIDIA card, I even set the NVIDIA controls for minecraft and java. Can anyone help me?
2. Make sure your Java is the 64-bit version, and is up-to-date.
Everything else I will look at but you can't use java 64-bit for windowes 8 for some reason (unless i'm mistaken in which case can someone send me a link?)
If I'm in like my home I get 60 fps but as soon as I go into a new area it drops to 20-30 fps. Sometimes it wil drop suddently to 0-5 fps if I go into the nether, jungles, too many mobs etc. I just don't get it....
could it just be my internet connection? (I have a VERY old verizon router....)
So I found out that the problem was my power settings... for some reason the power4gear on my computer cept resetting the power options to battery save. I just got rid of the program (no point in having it ) and went to basic Balance mode. Now I seem to sit at a very nice 60 to 70 fps even on fancy (not all max since i seems to crash my mincraft, but, limitng the frame rate and chunk load solves this problem)
This alleviates some stress. I have the same exact computer and no matter what I'm doing, I receive these lag spikes, and watch the task manager as my performance drops 2.80 GHz to 0.77 GHz. At first, I blamed my graphics card, since one of the effects of this was the sound fuzzing and the screen looking to lag, but then learned it was my processor when I watched it's speed drop. I'm a bit disappointed in this 4th Gen i7, as it claims the clock is 1.80 GHz, much less than it actually runs at (2.80 GHz) on high performance. I don't know why Intel doesn't work toward innovating speeds into smaller chips, but all I can say is, I'm disappointed and wish I was able to be on my desktop with the 2nd Gen i5 at 3.10 GHz all of the time... I work hard to keep my computer, junk free, virus/malware/trojan free, which requires enough money as is, but if I'm receiving issues from a two month old, perfectly clean laptop, there's another issue that's not me. I do appreciate finding this, because I now know it's not a problem with the hardware, more the software and I won't need to have this sent out for months for repair and risk Best Buy having lost the PC in the process of shipping it to/from the repair shop and not getting it back for two years. (Yes, this has happened before.)
