Minecraft not using cpu or gpu.

[Rondo Anderson]

specs:
AMD FX 8370 @4.6GHZ
2x Nvidia Geforce GTX 660
16gb of DDR3 - 2133
all sitting on a Asus TUF Sabertooth 990fx r3.0
some odd 1200W power supply i found in the trash but tests out fine

temps are good, no throttling. I get 200+fps on max settings in dirt 3. Benches just fine. When i play minecraft with shaders, i get about 40% usage on one gpu and 20% on the other, and none of my cores ever reach 60% usage on my CPU, I have the latest nvidia driver and 64 bit Java. Anything i can do?


EDIT: recently got the cpu up to 5 GHZ, but it doesn't make any difference.

Nothing wrong, Minecraft isnt very recourse intensive (its just blocks lmao) what fps do you usually get in mc? I have an 8 core with a gtx1050ti and never see more then 20% usage on anything and mc runs at 300+ fps

Whats your issue? Doesnt really matter if you are getting the performance you enjoy.

 

[Rondo Anderson]

I am only getting 15-20fps when i used to get 400+.

Hmm... That is odd, do a scan for viruses. They might be using reasourses in the background without showing?

I am always monitoring rescource usage with a task manager on one of my monitors.... Nothing showing up that, and a scan with windows defender shows nothing. It started when i got my second 660, ill try disabling SLI.

Do any other games have this problem? If not uninstall mc and reinstall

I have tried taht, I will try reinstalling java. Disabling SLI had no effect.

 

[Rondo Anderson]

Reinstalling java had no effect.

SLI wont have anything to do with it, have you done any major changes lately? software updates, hardware upgrades?

Also how does one "find" a 1200W psu in the garbage??? there had to have been something wrong with it... those are expensive

Ohhh... minecraft. A few things I can think of that might help you:

1.-Make sure render distance is down. It can kill fps.
2.-Download Optifine. It will help fps.
3.-If playing online... is it ping? Having a shakey connection to a server can give the appearance of low frames.
4.-Purge your computer of any unneeded data that might slow it down.
5.-You could try an alternate download of minecraft.

That's all I got, -PCth

In my case I can disprove 1 2 and 3, My render is max, no optifine, and my internet is crap yet i still get 300+ fps.... just saying 😛

So you are measuring fps of 300+? What is the problem? (p.s.-having optifine will always help, turning your render down will always help too.)

Oh... thought you were that protagonist. Sorry. 😛

have optifine, render distance is at 16. The power supply was found in a trash bag on the street. I put it through some serious testing, and it works fine.

Honestly man I don't know what to tell you.... I can't see any problem... PSU In the trash xD bit odd but hey it works.

FIXED IT! Minecraft was using its own java runtime, i redirected it to the x64 one i downloaded. I now get 150+ with shaders and 800+ without.
