Performance Issues

[Tony]

Hi everyone.

My old rig just dropped dead about a week ago after 4 years of good service.

Today I got my new notebook - I5 with 2.5 to 3 ghz 6 gb ddr3 ram. this think is quite a lot faster than my old rigg but for some reasons minecraft runs on like 5 fps.

I dont know whats wrong. My old rigg got some stable 60fps out of this game. First i thaught it might be because Minecraft only uses one core - but ontifine comes with the tekkit launcher so it should use all of them right? Also I thaught that maybe its only using the onboard GPU which comes with the I5 processor - i also have a gt540m from nvidia. But even if it does - a friend of mine is playing bad company 2 at medium details with this onboard GPU and he has no laggs at all so it should be enough for minecraft. I also installed 64 bit java.

Does anyone have any ideas what this could be?

Help would me much appreciated..

Is it a Technic or Minecraft issue?

Try Right clicking on the icon and selecting Run with graphics processes > High-performance NVIDIA processer.

assuming your notebook has an optimus setup.

as for minecraft being slow, it could be that the integrated graphics are only optimised for DirectX rather then openGL.

Have you tried allocating more RAM in the Technic Launcher Options menu? If it's set to 1gb, try upping it to 2gb and see if that helps any.
