Title:

FPS seems low for the muscle of my hardware​

Launcher Version:

v1.4.3​

Modpack:

Direwolf20 1.7.10​

Modpack Version:

v1.3.1​

Log Link:

​

Details of the issue:

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm getting an average of 40FPS at high settings even though I'm pretty sure my build is more than enough to get at least 60FPS.

CPU: Intel i7-3770K 3.5GHz
RAM: 2x8GB (Only dedicating 4GB to FTB since I'm pretty sure it doesn't ever use more than that)
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 770

Let me know if you need anymore information.​

Check if vsync is not turned on and check if minecraft uses the nvidia card (this is assuming that you have an integrated gpu)

edit and what java version are you using and are you using fastcraft?

Vsync was off, though turning it on didn't seem to change anything. I'm not sure how to check if minecraft is using my card, but the FTB launcher says my java version is 1.7.0_55. No, I'm not using fastcraft.

then try with fastcraft also try google , it can tell you a lot. It was the third link for me

The acer directions from that link were ineffective, as I don't have the "Classic View" option that it speaks of. However, I'm now installing Fastcraft to see if it helps.....

It also tells you how to force it, as you want to have it use the NVIDIA card anyway I don't see that much of a problem with it.

Open the Nvidia Control Panel, click on Manage 3D Settings, Program Settings, Add, select Java(TM) Platform SE binary and then under the preferred graphics processor and pick the High-performance NIVIDIA processor. That will make Java run on the Nivida card.

My advice, allocate 3GB of RAM to MC and no more unless needed. It almost always goes over the allocated amount, so this will prevent it from choking your system.

It seems I was wrong, and the Direwolf20 pack inherently used Fastcraft. I guess I had Fastcraft all along .

 

[lenscas]

in that case try it without it

I added Java to the GPU list, and lowered MC to 3GB, but I can't seem to find the "preferred graphics processor" option. Going to test with current changes anyways.

EDIT: No change. MAYBE 1 or 2 frames average higher, but that may just be my brain wanting to see improvement :/.

Little bit lower frames after removing Fastcraft, gonna reactivate it. Should my build be capable of reaching 60FPS? It seems like it should be, but I could be underestimating the weight of FTB.

 

[lenscas]

did you enable clouds?

I find them useless and I find that they cost a good amount of fps

Here's a pic of my graphical settings. Is there anything that would be unnecessarily taxing on my system?

 

[lenscas]

image is broken for me
edit and now it works
turn advanced openGL on and Vsync off
If that still doesn't work change the smooth Lightning

No significant change from any of those changes .

Take a picture of the Nvidia control panel settings for Java and post it here. I'm most concerned about that currently.

Okay, that tells me that it is indeed running on the Nvidia card. In that case, I personally do not have any ideas, but @lenscas appears to have several. Sorry for not having any more ideas.

That's quite alright! Your input is appreciated regardless.
