Running Windows 7 64 Bit (Also java 64 bit installed and running Minecraft)
NVidia GeForce 9500 GT
I am averaging about 6-7 FPS for the past couple days now. I have had Minecraft running on this computer before, and it was never an issue. A few days ago BAM, it was this slow. I don't know the FPS I was getting before because I never worried about it, but now it's annoying and laggy all the time.
The game seems to start normally with about 20ish FPS. After running for a minute or two it drops to around 6-7 and stays there unless I turn the game off and leave it off. Occasionally it seems like my web browser is running slowly too, but not always, while this is happening. None of my other programs are running badly and I have no other issues with my computer's performance.
I have tried:
Turning my graphics WAY down
Using Optifine
Allocating more RAM/setting high priority to java (even though more RAM is available, Minecraft never seem to use it all, it just runs super slowly)
Trying to run the linux version of Minecraft (Described here)
Defragging and turning off all other programs running during Minecraft
Is there anything else I can try? Is this a common issue? I've done everything
Hey everyone! I figured out what the issue was, and am posting it here in case other people have the same trouble. Turns out, although my graphics card was having no other issues, Minecraft was overheating it. I downloaded the FurMark GPU stress test and sure enough, my GPU was running at 107c!! I opened my tower and bingo, the fan was broken on it. New one will be coming soon and until then I have a fan blowing air into the tower to keep things from overheating.
Hope it helps someone else! What a headache this was!
