Hey folks, it's Wagon again. I'm crossposting this from my reddit post on /r/feedthebeast. So, this is an issue that I've been struggling with for a long while. I get absolutely awful screen tearing when playing most packs, but turning on Vsync in the options, while fixing the screen tearing...

Before you say anything, yes I know this should probably be in the Tech section(and a mod can move it if they want to), but this section gets a lot more traffic in terms of users. So here goes. Hey guys, I see threads occasionally on here asking after laptops and desktops capable of running FTB...

Been thinking about this for a while. I've also thought it a bit weird how Minecraft still doesn't feel completely smooth, even at the 60 FPS mark. It's only really smooth for me at the 120+ mark. And then it hit me. What's the frame times like on Minecraft vs other games(such as Skyrim?)...

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...

Hey guys, it's Wagon again, here to tell you more about what you can run(and possibly common sense?). This time, I'm looking at shaders and texture packs. I will continue editing this post as I collect info from other members of the forums and their experiences with different hardware setups...

Heyo, it's me, Wagon! Figured it was high time I started streaming now that I have a decent PC! Watch me channel here: http://www.twitch.tv/techguy101 I play Minecraft, Witcher 3, Skyrim, pretty much anything that happens to catch my interest!

Garbage collection by default in Java 8 appears to be multithreaded. I know by watching my CPU core usage while playing an average game. All my cores were each getting at least 50% usage. In addition, when I disabled two of my cores in my BIOS and started a game, I noticed rather alarming FPS...

This will include methods of increasing performance(both basic and advanced), how to read crash logs and tell what mod caused the issue, finding sources of lag, list of known sources of lag, etc etc. Pretty much a compilation of all those important bits of data that are dotted across the...

That's right folks, PETA. They'll be using plugins to make animals near invincible. Thoughts? http://www.peta.org/blog/peta-coming-minecraft/ Is this proper usage of MC mods(plugins)? And of MC itself?

I want to make a private( me only) modpack consisting of every IC2 addon I can get my hands on and is halfway decent(will be 1.7.10). I already know about: Gregtech Nuclear Control Gravisuite More plz.

This is what I have so far. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/adamjoliver/saved/3Jgrxr I'm looking for corners to cut if possible, pricewise(Like an AMD processor.) I want to do gaming(mostly modded MC) and streaming/recording. I'm aiming for constant 120 FPS in a big pack like TPPI or Beyond Reality.

I saw a comment on reddit about Electrical Age not having enough "mod support"(inability to convert RF to Electrical Age power.). I will not be linking to the thread or user, since that is a d move. However, I will be talking about my view on mod support(specifically, RF.) RF is great, to start...

Nuclear, coal/charcoal, culinary, lava pump, etc. What do you do to get your power?

With this whole Microsoft/Mojang debacle, I was considering moving to Minetest. But it only has 8-10 mods. Compared to Minecraft, it's modding community is tiny. Thoughts about the Minecraft alternatives:

Hey, newbie to the whole modding scene(code wise). I've been wondering how to compile a mod into the usable jar you can throw into a mods folder. I've tried building other mods code from the files off of their github, but all I end up with in the jar is a meta.inf. Feel free to laugh at me, but...

So, I've been thinking about doing a lets play of my favorite past time this summer, Feed The Beast modded minecraft. Probably gonna do a picture through, but if my FPS is good enough, I might do videos and throw them up on the youtubes. I will post my complete modlist once I've done all my...

I see all these Project Red pipes and cool modules for them in NEI, but I have no idea how they work. Has anybody used them with any success?

I've been experimenting with it on Horizons and it is pretty amazing. I currently have a Algae farm feeding into two photobioreactors, making hydrogen for my Compression dynamos. Soon I will be setting up a Husher with slickwater. I can supply pictures later if anybody is interested. Heres my...

I posted this on reddit, but I thought I'd also post this here. Due to me being bored last night(Internet is turned off until tommorow. I'm making this post from my school's internet), I decided to do a bit of testing on reactorcraft pebble beds, made by the amazing Reika. Before I start...

So I understand what they do, and I understand it looks cool, but what is its advantages over a tesseract? It seems to be just as expensive, if not more so.
