970M Minecraft Issues

Hello.

 

I just purchased my MSI Ghost Pro 002 Skylake model and it seems to be having issues. The issues occur when I play minecraft. When I played I was shocked because I was only getting around 50-60fps so I checked what graphics card I was playing with my integrated graphics processor (Intel 530 Graphics). So I quit the game and rightclicked minecraft.exe and choose to play with my 970M. When I checked it said it was running on my 970M, but I WAS ONLY GETTING 30FPS! I looked and it was locked on 30FPS and sometimes dropped below. Is there a solution to this? 

 

 

Thanks!

select a lower resolution and or less chunks to be loaded at the same time.

Still not working. When I use my weaker graphics card its fine. Just the 970M is having issues. Seems like it just keeps locking on to 30FPS

Make sure your FPS is set to 60, 120, or unlimited in the Minecraft video settings.

minecraft is the worst optimized game ever made, it should run at 200 fps on intel integrated when maxed out, but it doesnt, cause its java, but anyway thats just how it works because it is so light of a load your gpu clock speed thinks it doesnt need to ramp up, minecraft is dumb like that or like they said to raise the fps cap if there is one

Rightclicking Minecraft.exe and selecting the graphics shouldn't do anything because the .exe just launches a different process, java.exe...

Make sure your FPS is set to 60, 120, or unlimited in the Minecraft video settings.

I tried that. It is said to unlimited.

Alright, while I have a 860m, there are issues that I have had in the past that sound very familiar. 

 

Make sure that you have all the latest drivers and software installed on your laptop. Once this is done, go into the Nvidia control panel, and change the default graphics card to "High performance NVidia processor". Once that is done, go to to settings, have Minecraft open, then set the default for Java to the Nvidia GPU. 

 

That should solve the issue.

 

You might have to continue to right click and "Run with igh performance NVidia processor"

Euhm, no.

 

The light load on the iGPU is because the weak CPU can't keep up. The iGPU doesn't clock higher because it doesn't need to, the CPU doesn't feed it rapidly enough.

Make sure you set FPS to Unlimited. 

 

If you are still having issues, try going to an older MC version.

In the nvidia control panel, set java.exe to run with the nvidia card. IIRC the Minecraft.exe is just the launcher, and the actual process is java.exe.

Get GPU-Z and see if (in the sensors tab) if there's actually any load on either of your GPUs, because never trust ingame text...

lol no not at all if that was true cpu usage would b maxed out, if i can get over 100 fps in AAA games i should be able to AT LEAST do that in mincraft, bu it isnt optimized

It's optimized, but it's limited by a single thread. Many games do and there's a very good reason for that...

 

Minecraft has 2 threads:

The server thread, which handles all the game logic (20 times (ticks) per second)

The rendering thread, which interpolates where everything should be, it does this by taking the values of the current tick and the last tick, and renders with them based on time past since last tick.

 

The renderthread enables you to achieve a smoother experience with the interpolation, considering the game would otherwise only run at 20FPS max, the interpolation however is a heavy thing to execute (imagine hundreds, if not thousands of values). This task can only run on a single thread because of limitations by OpenGL.

 

Guess what? Laptop CPUs are generally pretty bad on single-threaded performance, which is why your framerate doesn't go above 200fps... Which is more than enough anyway...

so its badly optimized cause it uses one thread....... thats what i said

Because it can't use more.

Using more threads doesn't mean optimizing, it means throwing more raw horsepower at it.

lol throwing moe aw horsepower at minecraft is a waste of money unless you just insanely overclock a g3258, and a laptop 6th gen i7 doesnt have bad single core performance at all

Nevermind I noticed another issue. When I unplug the MSI Ghost Pro 002 it locks at 30fps, but when I plug in the laptop it exceeds over 200 FPS. Any solutions?

Turn off power saving modes/options in settings?

 

I don't know. That's all I can think of.

Yay for bullshit laptop power saving profiles...

That's not my point, Minecraft is as optimized as it can be on a single thread.

More threads doesn't mean it's more optimized, it means it can utilize more horsepower...
