Minecraft Forums

Well, i got a new pc as an early Christmas present.
My old one, had 2 GB DDR2 SD ram, and a dedicated card... not a very stong one (nvidia NVS 135m) but a dedicated card all the same.

My new one has an intel pentium b960 CPU with 4GB DDR3 ram, and intel HD graphics. in single player, i get decent FPS... on short +48 render distance, optifine, and fast graphics settings (a couple of tweaked things with optifine) and i get around 30-40 and sometimes even hitting 90 FPS (i get better fps when mining lol)
The thing is, all of that changes in SMP... underground, mining i get 40+ FPS. as soon as i hit the surface, it skydives- Rarely hitting 30 FPS.

Is there a way to remove lag? because i play TF2 on medium-low settings with 40+ fps no problem (unless there's tons of pyros lol, but i rarely lag). I play counter strike source on all high settings, with 100-90 FPS. i play L4D on low-medium settings, with 60 FPS (it will occasionally drop to 30).

Now, I've tried allocating more ram to minecraft... that helped a little bit, but only in single player. I've set the priority to high in task manager: to no avail. It really sucks because I've been wanting to make a video on my favorite server for a long time now, but fraps is FPS hungry (in single player, i drop from 60 to 30 FPS while recording) and. i always drop to 5-10 FPS in multiplayer while recording. is it a CPU issue? i don't have any money (14, no job) plus I'm using an HP laptop.


If ANYONE has a suggestion besides:

allocating more ram
upgrade your pc
set priority in take manager
install optifine

That would be awesome

(I'm also asking this because I'm a mod on this server, and I've been offline for a while. need to help out with the spammers and such)

If it helps at all, my full specs are as follows:
CPU: Intel Pentium B960 @ 2.20 GHZ: dual core
RAM: 4GB DDR3 Ram, 2gb allocated to minecraft
GPU: intel HD graphics

Thank you for taking the time for reading this, i REALLY need to fix this goddamn lag soon.

Make sure you have the latest Java installed, and if your running a 64 Bit operating system, make sure you have installed 64 Bit Java

That probably wont fix your lag, but who knows. Also I had an issue like this before and when I changed my Power Options to High Performance it fixed it. I dont know if thats only a laptop thing or if that option even exists on desktops, but its worth a shot as thats helped me before

I've tried and failed... i uninstalled 32 bit before and installed the downloadable 64 bit. i tried to open up minecraft it it wouldnt open T_T

So i am using whatever the auto-installer for chrome installed.

Well, I've had high-performance on since i got the laptop... but thanks for the suggestion
If you could help me with 64 bit java installation, that would be awesome ALSO: my video card only has 32 MB dedicated memory, and 1.6 GB of non-dedicated memory (system ram)
Is there some program (besides game booster) that will speed up my system?

First uninstall all Java instances from the Add or Remove Programs in the Windows Control Panel

Then go here

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7-downloads-1880261.html

And download and install first the Windows x86 Offline (jre-7u10-windows-i586.exe)

Then install this one: Windows x64 (jre-7u10-windows-x64.exe)

Restart

That will install the 32 bit and the 64 bit. You need both

But doesn't installing 2 different versions of java make allocating more ram harder? or am i thinking of something else xD

Never mind, installed the x64 with no problem :L
Will it mess up the allocation i made to minecraft?
