Horrible FPS on a amazingly good computer

[Steven Kane]

Ok, I have 16 gb in total on my computer of ram, I allocated 8 to tekkit, I am running java 7

Computer specs: http://puu.sh/19IlZ

Graphics Card: Dual 3GB GDDR5 EVGA GTX 580

Surely this would be enough to run tekkit with more than 29 FPS.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this? I allocated memory, still no avail, it only happens when I get near like my factory or anything like that, otherwise if those chunks aren't loaded or im in the wild I do not get FPS lag. Can anyone tell me how to fix my FPS lag and even boost my fps up a ton?

The game isn't using your graphics cards for some reason. I don't know why.

Is there a way to make it use them? I cannot figure it out for the life of me and im getting sick of having horrid FPS, if I bought these graphics cards for gaming, minecraft needs to utilize whatever it can, Any ideas ANYONE?

If it's anything like the Nvidia ones, you need to go into the graphics card's menu, press Manage 3D Settings, go to Program Settings, and then set Javaw.exe in the Java part of Program files x86.

Hi, I think to get more answers you need to be a little more specific.

1. Are you running sp, smp, your own server, public server?

2. Have you always had a fps or just all of a sudden?

3. Did you just upgrade your video cards?

4. Have you tried to disable sli?

5. Are you having a fps problem in other games?

6. Did you recently install a new driver?

I will be happy to help if I had more info.
