Posted January 15, 2015 I'm playing minecraft on an i3 2120 using the integrated graphics, this is slower than the i3 4360 and I still get more than playable framerates. Sorry, but it works fine. "Playable" Define "Playable". For me Playable is anything above 70... Also what graphics settings. And if you dont mind me asking, whats your username?

Posted January 15, 2015 i just play on minimal i would like to move up the render distance though It's possible to move it up 8 chunks but I find it doesn't really help all that much and can start lowering the frame rate too much. .

Posted January 15, 2015 ok. how much ram do you have 12 gigs, only have 1 allocated to minecraft. Playing at 1080p, note the fps dips when you take a screenshot. Do remember that the cpu you chose has much faster integrated graphics than mine. R3DCraft 128x pack . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 15, 2015 i3, let me open minecraft and show you my fps and settings. Why an i3? If MC is single threaded and Mr. OP Intends to buy a gpu would the Pentium G3258 not make more sense? It would give a boost to his game once he can overclock it. Bleigh! Ever hear of AC series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 15, 2015 i don't plan on overlocking. Ahh, in which case that rules the Pentium out, it's attractive feature was the OC. i3 it is then. Bleigh! Ever hear of AC series?

Hyperthreading for other applications, doesn't gimp you with having to buy another graphics card later, wasted money. A G3258 and an equivalent gpu would cost more in the long run and not give you the extra performance 2 more threads can get you. yeah i think i will go core i3 then thanks for the help. are you running mods Just optifine, this was while running my server in the backgroud too btw, thought I might add that. .
