Hey everybody, I just downloaded minecraft with my new computer, which is a xps17 that can any games on ultra settings..The problem is that, even with this beastly laptop, I can't get to run minecraft without lag, any advices? I usually get around 12-20 fps, decreasing slowly when the game loads more and more blocs.
Me need help and advices! pls help muh!

Ps: I don't want to reduce the distance I can see. I am sure there is a way to reduce lag without having to decrease the range of visibility.

You can change some things via Options > Video Settings

Thank you but it there any other way to reduce the lag without minecraft options? Like increasing system memory for minecraft?

For this question you should post your operating system because this setting might depend

2nd generation Intel® Core™ i7-2630QM processor 2.00 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 2.90 GHz
8GB Shared Dual Channel DDR3 Memory
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 555M 3GB graphics
17.3" FHD (1080p)
Windows 7 of course!

Forgot to say that I can give fg for godo answers that will improve my gameplay, I hate having to play limited minecraft on a laptop I paid alot for..

help? anyone?...

Minecraft is a Java based game. It will never provide everyone with best performance.
You will need to do some changes in the Minecraft video settings:

• Switch from fancy to fast graphics
• Reduce the range of view
• Toggle fog using the f-key

Thank you but is there any other possibilities to improve gameplay? Some of my friends are using 256pixel texture packs, and I can't even get it to fancy ;(

Anyone else? Please?
