Minecraft 20-30 FPS with Shader Mod

[benjyboi]

I'm a little confused to what could be giving me such a low framerate.

Intel i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
8GB RAM (2 x 4)
GeForce GTX 960 2GB

I noticed when I tried to allocate 4GB, even 2GB of RAM to Minecraft, it wouldn't allow me to. So would adding an extra dual 4GB get my fps to 60?

 

[i7Baby]

It will use as much ram as it needs.

Post your build.

VSync on?

CPU or GPU getting hot?

What fps? What settings? What monitor resolution?

VSync: On

CPU/GPU Temperate: Normal, never overheats

FPS: 20-40

Settings: Everything maxed out

Take VSync off and see if that helps.

 

[benjyboi]

My low FPS is coming from chunk loading. The higher the viewing distance, the more chunks have to load. This makes sense why I fluctuate from 20 FPS to 50 FPS randomly.

Says this when I try to go further.

L error 0x0505: Out of memory at pre-useProgram

So should I just buy dual-channel 4GB RAM to make the fps normal? I know I have a powerful GPU and decent CPU, but it's not letting me max out the performance. :/

 

[i7Baby]

So what's your problem - low fps or BSoD?

BSoD - See if http://www.reviversoft.com/blog/2012/09/what-is-a-blue-screen-of-death/ helps

 

[benjyboi]

No BSoD. I can simply see the low FPS in-game by pressing F3. It does generate some lag.

My PC isn't a piece of crap. It can run other games at extreme settings with 60 fps. Plus, it's only a month old.

The erro is a video card error. Try another video card. Try your card in another PC.

 

[benjyboi]

So the GTX 960 2GB, emphasis on 2GB is causing this? Is there something wrong with it? o_o

 

[i7Baby]

You tell me - Try another video card. Try your card in another PC.

 

[benjyboi]

I don't have another PC.

 

[i7Baby]

Take your PC to a PC shop then.

 

[benjyboi]

To fix FPS issue, please take your 1,000 lb PC to your nearest PC shop.

 

[i7Baby]

Yep. Good luck. I hope I helped.

Shaders in general isnt optimized well, you could try turning down the render distance? when I use shaders I have it on 10 chunks

 

[benjyboi]

No... I'll just not use shaders and cry over the fact that I can't. Maybe in 3 years I'll build a $2,500 PC and finally be able to ease my mind about gaming performance.

My younger brothers pc is relatively similar to yours, Certain shader packs gave him better performance than others. His favorite pack was the high version of Sildur's vibrant shaders

 

[benjyboi]

Same installation process as the SEUS?

 

[ApedUp]

Same installation process as the SEUS?

Just download and put it in your shaderpacks folder, so yes

 

[benjyboi]

Ok, thanks.

 

[benjyboi]

OMG, I fixed my solution. I used Forge 1.8, GLSL Shaders mod v2.4.8mc1, Optifine 1.8 Ultra D1, and SEUS 1.8 Ultra to give me max settings and 60 FPS. I capped at 60 FPS, but I think I'll try to go higher.

If you want to do what I did, reply and I'll tell you what I did
