Ok, This makes no sense at all... but there is something locking my FPS in some way, one of the components. I am just really confused... I can't seem to get more than 18-25 FPS no matter what... Like for example, I ran the lowest version of SEUS right? 18-25 fps. Then I got my 128x Resource pack with Ultra with motion blur and DOF.. what do ya know.. still only get5 18-25 fps.. I want to know what Is causing this. Thank you so much!

Hum. You'll have to wait for others for help on shaders, but I know they'll ask as well, put up your PC specs including your video card and if you can dxdiag (driver versions and such), is it a laptop or not etc. Also versions of MC, forge, shaders (leave texture pack out during troubleshooting for simplification), and any mods you're running including optifine.

ok I will

Make sure your FPS hasn't been limited (Options -> Video Settings). Other than that, I wouldn't know.

Its not :/

Try updating your graphics drivers. That's kind of a cure-all for any shaders mod weirdness.

Where can I download the updates

Thank! I will update when I get home if I do in fact need to update! I will let you know what happens

Quote from lokiboy12»

you could always right click the windows button and go to device manager, find your graphics card (it will be under display adapters) and right click that, then you can check for updates there. I would also suggest disabling your built in intel graphics card if you have one because mc like to use that for some reason...

It seems to be using the R9 in game using f3, could that be false? And I will check

R9 sounds right as that is listed as your graphics in your first post. Go to manufacturer's website and under support->drivers, they'll should have your graphics card.

My pc actually has 2 cards, an r9 and an r7 But I will check

Oh ok. That wasn't in your PC specs (which is kind of why we insist on them).
So...if this is a laptop (or a desktop), that has a separate video card and a built in intel graphics, then go to whatever console for your video card (catalyst for ATI or whatever the one for NVidia is called etc.) and select minecraft application to be using high performance settings (your main video card).

It is a desktop, and I just recently found out that I had it... Whenbi bought the pc from Lenovo it said the r9 but it has both lol and The console is the catalyst, how do I change the settings for Minecraft
