Hello,

My problem is; My fps is normally 120, both with/without optifine. There's only one thing that is causing my FPS drop - entities on the floor. I've tried two versions; 1.8.8 and 1.8.

Even if I stay near them, my FPS is 120 if I don't look at them. I will show screenshots so you guys understand what I mean, sorry for my english and ways of explaining. Do not pay attention to Optifine - it is literally same case with or without, I've tried.

Looking a little above the apples so don't see them on the screen = 120 FPS

Looking down and seeing the apples on the floor on my screen = 40 FPS (there's only like 10 stacks on the floor...)

What could cause this sort of problems?

Thank you!

So does anybody even have or maybe, did have that problem before.

Very actual, need help or at least suggestions

Well, your first problem is the fact you have a GT 240 as a graphics card. I am legitimately surprised that can run the game at 120FPS ever. (No offense, it's just an old card)

Your CPU is rather old, but I've seen much worse running MC, so it's not the problem.

In your video settings, turn off "Fancy Tile Entities" (Not sure if that is the exact name, but it's something like that)

That will make those dropped items not rotate and less 3d, but will improve the frames.

I can't tell 100%, but that may also be a higher-res resourcepack, which would also strain your GPU more.

You could also try allocating more ram (if you have it) Just go as high as you can, and work your way down until it performs nicely, but don't go over half of what you have in total.

EDIT: I can confirm that an FPS drop is normal, with that many entities:

Before apples (314 FPS):

After Apples (154 FPS):
