A few months ago I was playing Minecraft and I was able to play with 512x512 resource packs, with SUES Ultra Shaders on at the same time. I would lag a little bit, which was because of my RAM usage because I only had 10 at the time and could only use so much. I know it isn't my 300$ video/graphics card nor my motherboard or anything. I did increase the ram usage back then to around 7 and it was working fine it just used most of my RAM and it meant I could do nothing but play minecraft. I have 24GB of RAM now, and I tried to make Minecraft run with 10GB of data, but now it is more laggy than ever when I use the textures :/ I don't know why but if you could help let me know!
Don't run Minecraft with that much RAM! Especially when you don't have that many mods installed, you should be fine with 1 GB or less. Allocating more than that is really going to be just a waste, since Minecraft doesn't benefit from copious amounts of extra RAM.
I don't know what the rest of those arguments do - I've been running Minecraft just fine (60+ fps) since 2012 without anything fancy like that - 512MB RAM for 100% vanilla with no textures. 1 GB should be completely fine, and 1.5 GB at most.
Also make sure you're actually using your graphics card instead of integrated graphics. This should be possible through the GPU driver's control panel, or with optirun/primusrun on linux.

Visit my website here. I use MultiMC and play on CubeKrowd and FrostCraft.
Graphics RAM is independent of Java RAM - you should NEVER need more than 4 GB of RAM for Minecraft.
