lol, IDK, when i play vanilla 1.6 i get 800 to 900 to even 1000

There's a very good reason that GPUs are being co-opted to perform high-end scientific mathematical computations as co-processors these days...

Possible "magic" energy system in the future. It is planned to add emc "wires" to ee.

Still...upwards of 1,000 FPS makes it seem like Minecraft just milks every bit of horsepower it can with only the OS limiting it. It just seems...inefficient and pointless. Free those clock cycles up for something else or give the GPU/CPU a breather.

MINE BITCOINS

Aren't those devalued to the point of being worthless, nowadays?

If your machine is efficient enough they are useful
But most machines have a net loss

There are alternatives to bitcoin, in particular Scrypt coins (theres many of them) are designed to be mined with video cards, and can be exchanged for bitcoin.

Anyways, don't want to derail the topic with cryptos , they have a bad enough reputation already

Nonono, I mean the currency itself is worthless. As in, "1000 bitcoins might as well be 1000 pesos for all they're worth."

This thread appears to have run its course. Locking it since it's going wildly off-topic.
