AMD A10 7700k BE lags in minecraft but not BF4?

[GuyNamedBrad]

Hey, guess so recently I started building a new rig current specs are

- Asus A88mx-a mobo,

- 8 gb Coursair Vengance pro RAM 2133mhz (soone to be 16)

- No dedicaded GPU (coming soon about a month or so)

- AMD A10 7700k Black edition APU (10 cores = 4 CPU + 6 GPU)

- 430w Thermaltake PSU

- Coursair Case (Carbide Series® Air 240 High Airflow MicroATX and Mini-ITX)

 

So the main problem is that I can run Battlefeild 4 a medium settings and get approx 60-70 FPS, but try to run minecraft and I can barely get 60 fps (around 45- 58, also my render/ view distance is 10)? Why would this be, I guess im more confused that I can get more FPS in a more intensive game without a dedicated GPU and bad fps in a minecraft ( i think is a lighter game). Any thing I can do? or Optimize? or just go get the dedicated GPU? Thanks any feedback for this is welcomed !

minecraft is not optimised nuf said

Because Minecraft is more of a CPU game (I believe) so the graphics doesn't matter but the CPU does. In bf4 both matters.

Check out optifine, also, make sure you don't have your fps limited to 60 in video options.

Yeah I turned V-sync off and max fps to unlimited but still wont move base around 48-62 (unstable)

Make sure that you have your frame limit in minecraft set to unlimited. 

 

Also make sure you have all of your RAM allocated.

then I recommend that you try optifine. It basically optimizes the game so that it runs and looks better/smoother.

minecraft and AMD CPUs dont match, dont ask me why, dont ask me how to fix it, it happened this way.

 

(sidenote: optifine makes minecraft a tad more multi-threaded, you may have some luck with it. minecraft forge and fastcraft can help out a bit here and there as well.)

After fiddling in the setting I have solved it and now get arpund 135fps which is great thanks for the support! Also allocated more ram and now runs greats!

Minecraft is mostly single threaded. Also, draw calls in LWJGL are more expensive than they would have been in a programming language that could access OpenGL directly.

WRONG!

 

if you give minecraft too much RAM it actually starts lagging. its the inner workings of java goodness.

 

generally somewhere between 512MB and 4GB is ideal depending on resource pack, and mods.

 

my testing has shown that somewhere between 60 and 80% of dedicated RAM usage is ideal when it comes to FPS.

(meaning if minecraft uses 400MB you should allocate 550-ish MB)

Turn off Vsync

yeah I noticed I gave it two and runs decent guess I still need to get a dedicated GPU to make things better haha

Wrong!! I tested it. going from 1-16gb of RAM. Improved everytime.
