minecraft 1.8.7 slow fps on i7 , but very fast if i run furemark
I have a Processor I7 2630qm, and I have installed Minecraft 1.8.7 on Windows 7, java 1.7.0-45-b18, I see 20 FPS when I run the game. If I run furemark benchmark's cpu burner on 1 thread, and I play Minecraft at the same time, Minecraft shows 120 FPS. my video card is amd radeon 6490m I play on a laptop. It seems that the benchmark program is able to make the processor to go fast, but Minecraft is not. Any suggestions?
Best Answer
Check all these things first:
-Is your laptop pugged in to the charger?
-Are your power settings set to high performance?
-Do you have the most recent version of Java?
-Do you have the most recent version of your video card driver?
If these are all true and your FPS is still low:
-Try a less recent video card driver (1 version prior)
-If this doesn't work, update back to the most recent
-Try to change(lower) your rendering distance. 12 is normal, 9 is doable.
-Try to make use of optifine
-Try to "play" with your video settings to find the settings that alters the FPS the most

Why am I running slower in Minecraft?
If you're experiencing slow performance due to connectivity, you may need to pause or stop any current downloads, change your network settings, or you may require a faster Internet connection.Why is Minecraft so performance heavy?
Because Minecraft can render so many objects in the game, you may notice a huge performance difference between a budget CPU and a higher-end one when it comes to playing Minecraft, more so than in other games.FurMark 1.8.0
