Which makes upgrading components a pain in the ass, since you would submerge the whole machine in the oil. Unless there's CLCs that use mineral oil that I do not know of.

I have a strong dislike for Intel as well. But Intel's Haswell-E absolutely craps on everything AMD has currently. Well, here's my input I suppose. There is very little point in going with a 5930k. The only differences between it and the 5820k is a significantly higher price, slightly higher...

Didn't they also once release a driver that disabled the fans on several cards, killing them? And people say AMD's drivers suck. :p

I remember reading an article about how Maxwell cards are by their nature unstable due to how power management works with them(every millisecond the power usage changes, with huge spikes and huge dips.) So I wouldn't be too surprised about the 900m series being unstable.

Your system is more than strong enough to play any pack in FTB with 60 FPS.

Use this to completely wipe out your Nvidia drivers. Then reinstall them. http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

Couldn't think of any other methods to test this, since the only graphics cards I own are AMD. And a lot of my friends, well, I'm lucky they know how to turn a computer on. RAM I don't think is too relevant here, since I asked for the test to be run in vanilla(which runs just fine even with 1...

Yeah I edited the post to specify vanilla Minecraft 1.7.10, using a Flat world with the redstone ready preset. That should also eliminate the need to specify a seed. Thanks for the data! And yeah, I know about coil whine. My r9 280 has it, and it is especially noticeable in menus.

Ah yes, let me do some edits. An example of equivalent cards is GTX 960->r9 280/380 or r7 260x->GTX 750 TI. Cards that are on the same performance tier.

Heyo, I'm the guy doing all them hardware threads. So time for another one. Recently, I've been coming across some rumors that AMD cards get less FPS then their equivalent Nvidia cards, and the rumor does have some merit. So I need average framerates from users of cards from both brands. In the...

Not for minecraft no.

I doubt your GPU is going bad. If it was going bad, you'd KNOW it(constant crashing, artifacting, graphical errors.)

Strange. Out of curiosity, what is your VRAM usage and GPU usage with the x64 version of Sphax vs the x32 version of Faithful?

The texture packs you are using, do they have textures for TiCo blocks/items? Does this occur when using x32 or x16 texture packs?

What do you mean by low FPS? Was the FPS just constantly low? Or did you have stuttering, where it would keep going from 60+ to 30-40?

I'm a little bit late to the party, but I figure I'd add on to this. To assist with video rendering, you can offload the recording/stream to your graphics card's encoder in OBS using VCE. https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/obs-branch-with-amd-vce-support.13996/ I do this and instead of a...

You are confusing SteamOS with the OSes on consoles. It's a full OS that just comes with Steam/Steam Big Picture preinstalled. Any packages that work on Debian work on SteamOS(Including Java, which is all you need for Minecraft.)

wtf are you on about. SteamOS is a full Linux operating system and can do everything it's parent distro(Debian) can. I've experimented with it before. It's even got access to the same repos as Debian.

US. I can put together a list in australian dollars if you want.

Hmm. I should do some testing with the latest snapshots to find CPU and GPU usage. I agree with you, but I wonder if them using an old version of OpenGL could be the cause of the issues. Since then, there's been a lot of improvements in it and features added that allow for better utilization...
