Any tips on getting rid of my lag? by Numberz_ June 28, 2015 at 10:06 PM UTC

you should probably buy more 

99, at this point, our computers can't get any faster. Time for an upgrade.

But, it is a dog move.

If you guys don't wish to buy new computers then buy components. Like CPU, Nvidia, more RAM... etc. Intel i7 CPU recommended.

Lag is also map based. Is the map too high from the void layer?

Also, did you accidentally set the max FPS to 10 or 20?

Reduce render distance, turn off clouds and set your particles to minimal or decreased. It looks crappier but at least it kills some lag.

Nope, I have the fps set to 60, I lag on pretty much all the maps. Does the amount of players in a game effect it? Cause I get more lag in bigger games.

i7 Recommended? Lol, you make me laugh
I7's are useful in Workstation and Streaming workloads, any i5 can take as much of a beating as an i7 can in gaming without barely any difference in performance, However, if you are doing media creation and streaming, the i7 will come in handy. 
Nvidia? Omfg... 1) You mean graphics card, 2) AMD makes really good GPU's as well...

OP: Really you can't do much about it, if its like a 3-4 year old laptop, it will definitely not run minecraft at a smooth framerate (Unless its a gaming notebook, in which case can still hold up).

If you're on a tight budget lets say $400, here's a PC that will run MC at 60+ fps, but won't do that hot for recording and other media creation:

The APU will do just fine 120+ fps on minecraft at medium settings. At the most, this build will do for any game. Yes its an AMD APU, don't underestimate it... This runs BF4 at Medium settings and really good 30-40 fps, really playable (1080p). No Graphics card needed.
And if I were to chose an Athlon and a GPU, it would be worse and it would cost more :/
 
Savage: 
Hard Disk (Save $60)
OS (Save $90)
Total ($150 off the build)
 
So really, this is a really good performance for the money PC :)
 
But if you're looking for a beefier build:

(Again, savage an OS or HDD and save about $150)

You have it wrong, there are many versions of i7 CPUs. 

I have an intel i7 870 with 2.93 Ghz out of 3.33Ghz. I can run minecraft just fine (Provided that a large crap load of TNT doesn't explode) and play Planetside 2 at medium fairly well. As well as most other games.

I have an Nvidia GPU. 

And I have 8GB of RAM

I can tell you from experience that AMD isnt as powerful as intel (Previously had a Toshiba laptop... ugh...). With the best intel i7 being the 4770k (From my knowledge).

Question if I want to add more ram to Minecraft how much can I?

Here is my laptop specs. Acer Aspire7750G RAM 5.98 GB

Where it says "2" change it to the number of GB you want to allocate. Don't allocate all of it though, the rest of your computer also needs RAM. Allocating more than 2GB won't make a big difference anyway.

There is no point of arguing, if you don't have enough knowledge.
Yes there are many versions of an i7, so there are i5's, i3's, Pentium's, Athlon's, AhtlonII's, FX-8350, 9590, 8320... SO MANY.

a laptop i5 can do just as much as a laptop i7 can, considering AMD also makes good processors that destroy intel in some ways.

Good that you have an Nvidia GPU.

Cool, 8GB of ram.

No no no no no.. So wrong. And the i7-4770k is shit compared to the most powerful Xeon-2699V3 @2.3GHz Per each core, having 18 CORES.... and 36 THREADS.

My laptop runs minecraft at around 80+ on avicus. It's £400

Regedit is latency not fps

Specs?

I do have enough knowledge, besides I figured that we weren't arguing. I thought we were two computer nuts who were debating?

For your info, I have a desktop not a laptop. And I for one can tell you that an i5 and an i7 laptop are not one in the same. 

My lil' bro has an HP pavillion laptop with an i5 and my older bro has a Lenovo with an i7. My older brother's laptop 
performs even better than my little brother's. With a screen rez of 1900x... something. 

As long as your CPU can play some great games at medium or high at +25 FPS and its fairly affordable then I think its worth it.

You still make 0 sense what so ever.
It doesn't matter what processor you have.
If you have the SAME rig, but you have an i5 in one, and an i7 in another. They will BOTH perform equally in games.
BUT NOT IN workstation loads.
I don't understand what you mean by "My older brother's laptop 
performs even better than my little brother's"

What tasks is he performing? Rendering, Editing videos?
Probably, because you would have the same performance with an i5 as you do with an i7. 

You never even mentioned a THING about their specs. Idk what GPU your brothers have, Idk how much Ram they both have, speed of it. Nothing.

SURE you can judge a PC by ALL of its components. Not by the CPU. I would be surprised if you can come up with another response for this other than telling PC specs of both, in which case, the laptop has a better GPU than the the desktop, that either has a bad GPU or No GPU at all.


Here's an example:
I have a laptop 2 laptops:

Intel i7-4720HQ @ 3.0Ghz
16GB RAM
GTX 970m 
225 Watt TDP for the whole system
Benchmarks:
 - Rendering in Sony Vegas: 34 seconds
 - Photoshop Rendering (1080p): 2 seconds
 - Crysis 1 @ 720p: 48 fps Average
 - Far Cry 4 @ 1080p: 62 fps Average
 - Bioshock Infinite @ 1080p:  49 fps Average
 - BF4 @ 1080p Medium: 40 fps Average

Intel i5-4500U @2.7GHz
8GB RAM
GTX 970m
200 Watt TDP for the whole system
Benchmarks:
 - Rendering in Sony Vegas: 1m13s
 - Photoshop Rendering (1080p): 13 seconds
 - Crysis 1 @ 720p: 43 fps Average
 - Far Cry 4 @ 1080p: 57 fps Average
 - Bioshock Infinite @ 1080p:  50 fps Average
 - BF4 @ 1080p Medium: 36 fps Average

Alright, both of you calm down. You aren't helping OP whatsoever and things are heating up. Just calm down, go do some Yoga, eat a nice organic meal and relax.

Fair warning about 64 bit java - Forge Mod Loader isn't compatible with it, so if you use any mods that use forge then MC won't start

Did you download optifine yet? Try downloading 64-bit java as well if you haven't yet.
