If you're trying to maximize your FPS in Minecraft then you have to find the algorithm that calculates the FPS then derive and try to find the maximum of the new equation. This should help you optimize.#eaze

Because I only have an i5 and a shitty upload speed, which means I can't stream at more then 30 fps.

@Colonel @blakepowns Why are you posting when you clearly don't know anything? The Intel Core is better for gaming, anyone who thinks that AMD is better is dumb. The reason why real gaming computers don't use AMD is because it overheats way easier than intel core. I used to have a AMD, after 3-4 hours the computer just stopped and it was insanely hot, I then bought a better cooler system but the computer would just crash after 5-6 hours.I suggest you buy i5, and all the cheap gaming computers that you buy from "gaming" stores, already build, they'll all use AMD, so build your own PC WITHOUT AMD
Also i7 is wayyyy too OP for minecraft, I run at 200-300 FPS with my i5 and I only have 8GB ram.
Edit: Just read Archybot's post and it seems like he already told you.

Lol I have a laptop because I switch between houses. The laptop has an i7 an gets a stable 100 fps.Posted on 14 August 2014 - 06:23 PM

I'm just trying to give more opinions, so you don't need to be so rude about it. If you read my post, you would see that I said that Intel is overall better than AMD's. I said AMD's are very good for budget builds. Unless you are doing hardcore video rendering or anything like that, they will do just fine. And I don't know how long ago you had your AMD chip, but they've greatly improved in quality recently. They run hotter than Intels, yes, but with a $20 aftermarket cooler (which you should have regardless), you shouldn't have any problems.

I really dont see how i got shrekt when hes wrong. amd is not for gaming, i5 works way better, works more silent and will stay cold overall. While a amd is not silent, the cooling system will have to work alot more and eventually it will overheat and your electricity will go.Posted on 14 August 2014 - 11:45 PM

To be honest, computers that run 120 fps is fine for Minecraft, just make sure that you have a really good processor and at least 4 gigabytes of ram. You should be able to get more than 120 fps.A human eye can only see 60 frames per second. (in a video game)
Processors like Intel Core i5's actually were tested to work better towards games than an Intel Core i7.
- I hope this helped you

No, the human eye can see much further than that. It's the monitor that caps at 60 frames (unless you have a >60Hz monitor).

Took a look around my computer, and found out I have integrated graphics and an old AMD cpu… surprised I run 50…..Here's what I'm getting:

If you have an AMD cpu right now, that Intel won't work for your Motherboard. You're gonna need a new MoBo if you want that new CPU.

Exactly this, cpus require specific motherboard sockets, and I've never heard one of that can use both AMD and intel (as in it doesn't exist)

You want the LGA 1150 Socket for your Motherboard; it should say it in the specs somewhere. You NEED that socket type or else your CPU won't fit. Looking at the specs on Newegg or something like that should be fine.

i7 so expensive compared to what you get for itPosted on 15 August 2014 - 01:43 PM

Okay. I didn't really read through this thread much but from what it sounds, it sounds like you need a gaming PC. For gaming, an i5 will do great. The i7 is more for video editing/cpu-heavy stuff. It uses , pardon me if I'm wrong, hyperthreading. You only need 16gb of RAM if you are doing so as well. 8 will be fine for a game.The r9 290 is almost as good as the 290x. You can overclock the 290 to speeds of the 290x.

This would be a great build, fully equipped with a monitor, windows 8.1, and a large power supply in case you want to add another r9 290 for future-performance. The motherboard that is holding this build together is the all new z97 intel chipset motherboard.
