simbon Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Have you updated to sphax for 1.5.2? Not sure if there is much difference but may help :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcavallol Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 yes thanks ive tried that - just don't get why it is all of a sudden so sluggish it is unplayable. id have thought 16gig ram with quad core i5-2500k and 2G GTX 680 would have been substantial enough to run this without a problem.

simbon Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I had problems with the higher resolution packs, only managed to get it working properly with the x64 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewfire Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Using x128 version with Plowman's mod textures added at x128 as well, no issues here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcavallol Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 hmmm - i am confused then. i have just done a test - copied my entire tekkit folder and taken it to work and put it on my laptop. now it is a pretty powerful laptop, but nothing like the specs i have at home - and it runs fine. a slight drop in fps with the 64 bit sphax textures - but still playable. what on earth could be causing this? my machine at home is clean, has only games installed and still runs witcher 2, tropico 4, skyrim, far cry 3, etc. at max settings without breaking a sweat. i dont understand exactly how minecraft can be so resource hungry - ie i dont really fully understand the mechanics - so is there something i can try to make it run better on my more powerful machine? clearly something is causing a bottle neck. i'd really appreciate any advice. thanks. ok - after a bit of research i can only conclude that MC is simply not registering my graphics card. i do remember one option last night - fancy fog - not allowing me to select it - and i know for sure my GPU supports it. i will have a look at this when i get home - but this certainly seems to be a good possibility.

Dewfire Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Check you Java versions and update it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyrst_Igor Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 And do the same with GPU drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwwojcik Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I seem to recall some graphics cards requiring a box to be checked to force Java to use it in the settings, see if you can find that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
