Hey guys, I've been playing a lot of minecraft lately and none of my real life friends bother to do it themselves. I need somebody to just have a good time with, doing normal minecraft activities but in the presence of others. It gets tedious to do everything alone. I need a person exhibiting these traits:
Can use Skype
Enjoys food
Has at least a month's experience
A Mature Adult. Allow me to specify; If you have swag, say yolo, think you're a gangster, then you're out. I don't want cool people, I want geeks.
Large vocabulary... Just kidding
Able to invest time to play the game. If you're on a couple times a week, then you're out.
Is willing to talk about any subject matter, and joke about it. Everything is open, no matter what. I don't want any pc bullcrap, I want real person talk, with real person language.
If you are cognitively dissonant, and/or a headstrong individual, then you're out.
That's it. Very simple standards, but I believe they need to be there.
Oh and last thing. If you know anything about setting up servers to play on, or however multiplayer works, that would be fantastic.
Hey, I'll join you. Do you have skype by any chance?
I've been around since early beta, and I don't understand the hate either.
I've been around since alpha, and honestly, I get that feeling 24/7. Minecraft has changed, and in my opinion, for the worst. I love downgrading my minecraft to 1.7.3, or even lower. It's just a lot of fun.
Linkguy you're correct that minecraft is very processor dependent. I feel that your processor is your biggest thing holding you back, however as I said in my earlier post the integrated graphics is run by the processor, this takes processing time away from other tasks. Having a dedicated video card will at least free the processor up from spending its time managing some of that. That alone will help. Not to mention a dedicated video card has it's own RAM on board which will also free up some of your system RAM.
Thus I still stand by my advice that a video card would be a better investment. Your friend may have saw an improvement with more RAM because he has different computer habits than you. He may be running google chrome with dozens of pages open while he's playing and/or be a heavy mod user.
Edit: Bought both, and installed both. Fps is now 80 max settings.
For all intents and purposes, the amount of load minecraft puts on PCs will class its performance rating as matching those modern AAA titles. I can put this into perspective, If you buy more RAM first, and you don't get the results you were hoping for you've wasted $35, if you buy a graphics card, you are guaranteed of some performance boost.
And my proof is this though he is testing on those AAA titles minecraft will relate, you will get better performance. And you get a better graphics card anyway.
Well, I contacted my friend over skype, he had 4GB, after upgrading his ram to 8GB he noticed a less jumpy minecraft, due to the fact of more memory. He then upgraded his graphics card. He told me it helped him on games like Call Of Duty, yet no effect at all on minecraft. I'm going to go with an extra 4GB, also the video isn't talking about minecraft.
Why should we choose you?: I enjoy minecraft a lot. I also enjoy Family servers, with little harrassment. So obviously I'd love to play. And I enjoy talking to other in game, and of course over skype.
How often do you play?: Whenever I'm not creating a mod for Minecraft, or coding in general, I'll most likely play in my free-time.
What is your favourite thing about minecraft?: Building, communicating. I know, thing. Not things.
Some Minecraft builds you want to share with us?: Well, honestly I don't build much, when I build cool things, I get griefed then lose everything
What is the name of mrheyhey124's cat?:Akira
Anything else you want to add: Well, I enjoy talking to people and I can help with server bugs, and other. I have high experience in Java and mod-making. So I'll be there to help. Thanks! Bye <3
The Radeon HD 6670 prices for about $70 on ebay, it is a perfectly acceptable gaming graphics card
Once again, I don't believe I need a new graphics card. Modern games I may need one, but for Minecraft, I don't think so. So for now, I'm sticking on my side until I get some sort of picture/video evidence.
i have to agree with Lutzee the game is very Cpu/gpu heavy, better gpu means it can load more polygons more quickly and effently.
a good Grahpics card can run the range of 60-150$
Disable OpenGL with optifine or by editing the files yourself. I just still can't see the logic behind minecraft needing a good graphics card, I like the game, and it's graphics, but to be honest I can run Team Fortress 2 Max settings. And I can't run a game that looks 1000 times worse? Not saying it's bad due to graphics, never will, just saying that I shouldn't need a new graphics card. I feel as if ram would work better.
It may seem that a RAM increase may help... but believe me. i've done it, and it doesn't i may have gained like 5FPS, minecraft is very CPU/GPU heavy and doesn't use that much RAM.
So you're recommending a graphics card. Could I have any evidence of this, I'm sorry. It's hard to take your word (well any word on the internet, especially when it's talking about $100+). If you have any evidence, please link me to it. Thanks for dealing with me though. xD
Edit: found some info on another website. Minecraft does it's rendering through the CPU instead of the GPU, so a good graphics card won't really get you far
CPU = Ram, increasing ram increases CPU, Java loves robbing CPU, bigger hard drive (more ram) = More CPU, = Higher fps.
More RAM wont do anything for performance, its only like getting a bigger hard drive, getting a graphics card that can process the game faster will.
More ram would increase the system size, allowing java to use more memory, increasing FPS. Graphics card? From what I've seen, you need like a familty graphics card for minimum, and for maximum, a little less than what I have. So what would be best, is in my eyes, 8GB of ram. Sorry, I can't really take your word for buying something worth over $100 with no proof besides your word.
Probably what would help much more than RAM would be installing an actual video card. If I'm not mistaken ATI Radeon HD 4200 is the integrated graphics. This would free up the processor from handling some things related to graphics. I'm not saying it will make a huge difference, but it certainly could net you perhaps 10 or more fps I'm guessing, depending on the card you get and what kind of card your motherboard can support. Just make sure your power supply can handle the extra load.
Although, from research I have done, it looks like 8GB of ram would increase my fps by 20-30. And, ram is dirt-cheap. 4GB of ram is about $30-35$. Maybe $40 max. From what I've seen, graphics cards are for a good one, over $100. I'd rather buy something cheap that would boost my performance more over what costs $100+ and only gives me 10 frames.

I totally agree, I find few endermen, and when I kill them I get nothing but xp. It sucks, because I can barley get enderpearls xD
