I've allocated 1GB of Ram to MC, and it's FPS doesn't increase....at all...
Not only that, but I play on lowest settings, and have optifine set up for all performance.
Minecraft is a very RAM reliant game, but it won't affect your FPS much.
Your video performance is determine mostly by your GPU (Graphics Card). If you are playing on a laptop, it is most likely an integrated GPU and there is little you can do to increase performance other than get a new laptop. (unless by chance your laptop has a dedicated graphics card slot, which most normal laptops do not)
If you have a tower computer however, you either just need to buy a dedicated GPU and stop using the integrated, or upgrade your existing GPU to a slightly better one, as if it can't run Minecraft at 30 FPS+ then it really needs to be upgraded anyway.
It uses less RAM than Call of Duty 4. It's not RAM intensive. http://gyazo.com/3ce...bf4e3ad1d393bcc He needs to lower his ram to 0.5GB in MC. (never do that)
Tell that to the thousands of people who constantly request how to allocate more memory to Minecraft because it can need more than it claims. Also, I was referring to the fact that MC performance does rely heavily on RAM, as it is a open world, (infinite at that) Java game. Minecraft eats up more and more RAM the longer you play, while a game like COD loads everything from the get go, Minecraft keeps generating new stuff as you go. So please, don't tell me I'm wrong if you don't understand what I'm talking about.
On a side note, the most RAM I've seen my MC use at one time is 2.8 GBs, while COD4 only uses about 800-1200 MBs.
Sorry, you don't know what you're talking about. Doesn't matter how long you play, how big your world gets, you only need to load as much as your render distance requires (at one time). Your save may get very big on disk, but in RAM it's the same size, X chunks of data.
And pointing to all the other clueless people who want to allocate more RAM is not a winning argument. Those are the same people who are constantly asking for help because their JVMs don't start when they go from 1G to 2G and they can't be bothered to read the dozens of posts explaining why that is.

I didn't know that....then what is RAM allocation supposed to do? And please, I could use a lot of help on increasing my FPS
