Minimum Suggested Specs For Direwolf 20?

[MrStrategy]

So, my computer is by no means crappy.. atleast wasnt two years ago. I have a Gtx 660 gpu, Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570 CPU, 6gb of ram etc, I've installed optifine and tried even uninstalling mods Id never use with the mod pack, still I get 10-20 fps with the occasional fps spike increase to 70 for a split second.
I'm just curious, what in the world do I need to upgrade to make direwolf 20 run at about 60 fps? I thought about upgrading my ram to 16 gigs but people were saying the mod packs use only 2-3 gigs at full potential? Surely I dont need to upgrade my graphics card for minecraft.. so is my cpu not equiped to handle it? Or is there some other spec I need to focus on? Really hate not even being able to play ftb..

Install Fastcraft. That should help quite a bit. Also, make sure you don't give java more than 4GB. With my DW20 pack, I actually use 2.75.

A clean 60fps is actually really hard to hit on 1.7.10 modpacks. It's a huge mess. You're better off just not worrying about it, else you could spend $2,000 upgrading your PC and still not get a clean 60fps.

Well, actually, anything from the range of 40-50 (What im typically used to getting) would be very niec and playable, but clearly walking around getting 15 fps is a buzzkill, but Ill look into it and see what it does for me, thanks for the tip!

NP, but I still think staying even in the 40-50 range is asking a bit much for 1.7.10. I can get well over 100, then plummet down to like 10. It's rather crazy, even before you build anything

Perhaps updating the Forge versions and all of the mods might help. ( Modpacks are often well behind due to the time and effort it takes to put them together, test, fix problems found, re-test, modify configs, etc. )

Just created a new survival world and averaging 95-125 with the ocasional 50 spike.. after installing fastcraft, this really did the trick, wowza

since 1.7.10 there is a problem with the fps
in 1.6 i got around 100-120 fps
i can still reach that with fastcraft in 1.7.10 but it has spikes
i locked the fps at 40
for me it doesn't spike anymore

i also have given mc 6 GB to load
just to be sure xD
