Minecraft Forums

Hello forum goers:

I have a PC that is (almost) brand new. It just came a week ago. The performance in every game I've played has been amazing, including Minecraft. Well, it was amazing in Minecraft until I installed SEUS. Now, without a doubt I KNOW I should be able to run it at at LEAST 50 FPS. I base this claim on the fact that I saw an older computer from this same brand with lower specs run it at 40-45 FPS. Somehow, this computer clocks in at a max of 22 FPS and a low of 4 FPS. In normal MC, it locks instantly at 60 FPS, and, I know I shouldn't compare this to another regular game, but I easily pull off 60 FPS in TES V: Skyrim and Fallout 3 with Ultra settings and high-res texture packs. How is it possible to achieve such amazing performance all over the board and then fail miserably at a mere shaders mod? I've even allocated 6 GB of RAM to Java. I am also playing MC in Full-Screen Mode w/ Optifine. Help explain/fix this please.

SPECS:

OS.....................64-Bit Windows 7 Home Premium
Processor..........4th Gen i7 Quad-Core 4800MQ @2.7 (Regular) \ 3.7 (TurboBoost) GHZ
GPU..................NVIDIA GTX 765M w/ 2 GB of usable VRAM
RAM..................16 GB (15.7 usable)
Display...............1920 x 1080p Full HD Resolution at 60hz refresh rate
Java..................64-Bit Java 7 Update 25
MC Version.......1.5.2 (no other mods)
SEUS Version...SEUS v10 RC7 Ultra
GLSL Version....GLSL-Shaders-1.5.2

Have you updated your drivers? Another thing I can think of is if your laptop can switch between the integrated and dedicated GPU, but for some reason it isn't switching when you play Minecraft.

@fb39ca4...I updated my drivers immediately after experiencing the problem, for I thought that was the problem, too. And, yes, it is a possibility that Minecraft is using my integrated GPU, but I don't know how to check whether MC is or not. Care to enlighten me?

EDIT: I figured out how to check, and yes, Minecraft is running on my NVIDIA card.

SEUS/GLSL Shaders was recently updated. Make sure you're using Shaders Mod 2.00 and SEUS 10.0 (not 10 RC7).

SEUS 10.0 refuses to work. All I receive is error messages about some sort of invalid parameter. Poor Sonic Ether always seems to have problems with his brand new releases (I can't remember I time where his newest release didn't have an issue/people complaining).

Bumping. SEUS 10.0 works now... With the same results. 15-20 FPS. This is absurd.

people not responding that much, or maybe update opengl

Yes, it is very saddening. And OpenGL seems to be up-to-date. There weren't any available updates (to my knowledge).

Bumping. OpenGL is up-to-date.

Bump. OpenGL is up-to-date.

Bump again. OpenGL is up-to-date.

Bumpity bumping.

I am almost happy that nobodies replying... It's helping my post count!

Yeah, I've got the same issue. (I know, it's been a while)

I run two GPU's, one integrated (For Windows to run on), and one Nvidia (For games, 2GB VRAM). Yet somehow I get 10 FPS max on any shader.
