So I downloaded the GLSL Shaders Mod. My FPS dropped. No surprise there. I went from the 60-80 range to 10-15. This didn't surprise me at all. But what did surprise me was when I put a 128x128 texture pack on, with the shaders, and my frame rate didn't change at all. I looked at the frame rate lock slider thing on the menu, and it was fine. Is there any other way that my frame rate could have somehow been locked? I had installed optifine with the shaders mod in case there is something in the settings there that I could have accidentally hit. I think the frame rate is locked because normally the frame rate does change especially with a 128x128 texture pack. In vanilla I go from 60-80fps to 40-50fps. If that's just something that the shaders mod is doing, would there be a way to fix that?
Thanks!
Edit: I also just noticed how the frame rate remains the same no matter what render distance I am using. I get the same 10-15fps no materr if I am using 2 chunks or optifine's massive 32 chunk distance.
The shaders mod most likely lock the FPS to keep your game from crashing.
I belive you can change the limit, but unless you have a supercomputer, don't do it.

What would happen if I did change the limit? Would it just crash? And if you could give me a link or something so I could change the cap that would be great! I'm not too scared about a crash, but if it does anything else, I may reconsider.
I don't think you can change the FPS cap, I believe it actually is a problem with Minecraft. Try allocating more ram, and if that doesn't work, look at this Speed/Optimization Guide. http://www.minecraft...on-mar-14-2013/
I've actually tried allocating more RAM but it never seems to work. Whenever I start Minecraft, it just crashes.
Thanks!
