So after playing 100's of hours on console Iv'e finally just now bought Minecraft for the pc. So naturally I go and install the most popular shader I could find (SEUS) and I discover it only runs at about 15 FPS on it's highest setting and 45 FPS at it's lowest. I get that the shaders are demanding but I think there might be something wrong with my set up.
Minecraft by itself runs at about 200-350 FPS with Optifine installed. Which I didn't really think much about until I saw what kind of FPS other people were getting with i7s and GTX 1060s.
Vid of a guy running SEUS on a i5 and GTX 1060 highest preset at about 60 FPS.
Before going any futher. My specs:
AlienWare x51 R3 running Windows 10
GPU: GTX 1060 SC 6GB
CPU: i7-6700 @ 3.40 GHz
RAM: 16GB
Trying to play @ 1920x1080
As I mentioned I am only getting around 15 FPS on the highest preset. So things I've done so far.
Reinstalled Minecraft
Reinstalled Java and ensured it was the most recent version
Allocated 4gb of RAM to the game through the launcher
Installed Optifine
Messed around with view distance and other settings
Disable FPS limiter and/or Vsync. Post all current JVM arguments and draw distance. Game version.
Though I'd honestly try to run this on Linux as Minecraft tends to run "odd" on Win 10.
Odd in the sense of "no idea why this runs at 200FPS for me while it runs at 500 for another guy with identical rig" or "it dropped 50% after switching from Win 7 to Win 10, just because".
Well, I don't know how but for some reason my game now just randomly started working better. I literally haven't done anything to it since it was not working. IDK??? Maybe one of the many fixes I did just took a few hours to set in?
It runs the SEUS 11.0 on ultra at 80-90 FPS with 8 for view distance and 55-60ish at 16. This literally boggles my mind quite a bit.
My GPU does seem to be running a bit hot though. That normal? It has been doing that even when the game wasn't running very well.
It's a single fan 1060 in a small case so it runs a bit hot normally. Idles just under 50C but it instantly jumps up to 80-83C as soon as I load up a minecraft world. When running a heavily modded Skyrim it does reach 80C but not until I have been playing for a little while, and I thought I had heard that Minecraft was a bit more CPU dependant than GPU dependant.
For reference I have disabled Vsync and I'm running the latest ver of Minecraft. (1.12.2)
