Minecraft.

[For Which It Stands]

I have a very old AMD Athlon CPU. It really shouldn't be working right now, but it somehow is. I want to be able to play Minecraft as a time waster, because why not? Unfortunately, I think it was developed to mainly run dependent on a CPU, and it for some reason can't do this well (not unusual to have FPS within the range of 5-15). I know it is possible to do on NVIDIA GPU's, but how can you make Minecraft run completely dependent on my ATI Radeon HD 4600 series?

Games use both CPU and GPU. There is no way to change that.

yes there is you can disable your GPU if you really wanted to and use your CPU/APU integrated graphics

You will then be using your CPU's GPU.

Something of which that AMD processor does not support.

Maybe if your post made more sense I would understand it better your starting to confuse me now lol  :lol:

It would help to know which old athlon. For example: The x2 5000+ should be able to run at 30fps+.


Minecraft has to place each block in the world, Each chunk has about 15000 to 25000 blocks, And if the render distance is at 3 you have to render about 700 000 blocks. Isnt that kind of impressive for an old athlon to do at 5-15fps?

tbh i don't really understand your question very well

I'm saying that Minecraft possibly runs very slow because of the CPU's lack of integrated graphics, thus I want to make the GPU do most of the workload. It is known that you can assign a given application, such as Java, to run on the GPU, but this is only on NVIDIA GPU's. I have an Radeon GPU. So I'm wondering really if there is a way to do what NVIDIA is doing on a Radeon GPU, if that makes any sense.

CPU's integrated graphics don't matter if you use a graphics card. You cannot run CS:GO and minecraft on only a GPU.

No, You cant, Nobody have been able to do that.

Lower the settings, How much RAM do you have? If you have 4gb of RAM in your system id recommend allocating 2gb to minecraft.

In the profile settings change the launch argument

-Xms1G

to

-Xms2G

And try installing Optifine, In some cases it can double the performance. Vanilla minecraft only uses one core, Optifine allows for muilti-threaded generator and renderer.

It is only OpenGL which can run on the GPU, The renderer, And it cant run on the CPU.

The lack of a integrated GPU has Nothing to do with the performance, As soon as you add a dedicated GPU it is disabled, And You cant run both at the same time(Unless on a APU with a low end 200 series GPU).

My penom x3 8450e is simular to you athlon. Mine has a crappy gtx 520 and 4 gig ddr2 ram. Minecraft runs great on Linux Mint but it was a pain to set up. I awitched to Linux cause Win7 was killing my PC. Hope this helps some and I dont know if the 520 is close to what you have

Oh wow. I legit totally forgot about how the integrated graphics are disabled when a GPU is in the mobo. I did install Optifine. That is a thing that I didn't really think about, because I found that when the new launcher was released, adding mods became a chore, but I didn't know that they made it easy to install it.

 

Thanks a ton!

No Problems, That is what im here for.
