looneypumpkin December 17, 2012 Share looneypumpkin GC Board Member December 17, 2012 Real nice, I recently upgrading mine too, got the same CPU but you got more RAM/VRAM than me Mine runs pretty smooth, so I can only imagine yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaRvIn December 17, 2012 Author Share MaRvIn Member December 17, 2012 Runs, good still tweaking the OC but it does what I need. The only thing that the amount of RAM is for is Minecraft because mine uses about 12-14gb of RAM when playing. How much RAM do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amertrash December 17, 2012 Share amertrash Member December 17, 2012 Err, how is Minecraft consuming that much RAM? Even with the GLSL shader mod + 128x textures I don't see it climb much past 2GB on my machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaRvIn December 18, 2012 Author Share MaRvIn Member December 18, 2012 I have shaders + 512x textures + a bunch of mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samurai nightling December 18, 2012 Share samurai nightling Member December 18, 2012 Minecraft, one of the simplest graphical games out there, uses some of the most resources lol. Java. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

looneypumpkin December 18, 2012 Share looneypumpkin GC Board Member December 18, 2012 Holy crap, never knew that about minecraft. I have 16GB, an upgrade from 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingCat December 18, 2012 Share walkingCat Member December 18, 2012 Minecraft has a very bad Java engine, and that causing the problems. RAM has nothing to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaRvIn December 18, 2012 Author Share MaRvIn Member December 18, 2012 (edited) Notch needs to worry more about working on the engine than adding more stuff to add more of a load on everything. I have always had problems with minecraft taking all my RAM. They have made very little progress with it in a players point-of-view. Although, the lighting engine is a lot better. pics pics! Okay I will get some for ya! Edited December 18, 2012 by MaRvIn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amertrash December 18, 2012 Share amertrash Member December 18, 2012 It's Java/LWJGL, doubt optimization would achieve much. I've still never see MC use that much ram, running specifically with Rei's Minimap, GLGS, Optifine threaded, and whatever hi-def texture pack.

MaRvIn December 18, 2012 Author Share MaRvIn Member December 18, 2012 It takes about 3min to start up and rises at a steady pace all the way through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaRvIn December 18, 2012 Author Share MaRvIn Member December 18, 2012 I couldn't take screenshots of it with the shaders on but, here is the link to the texture pack and they have some good videos/screenshots there. http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1182714-145-32x-64x-128x-256x-512x-r3dcraft-default-realism-65-done/page__hl__%20512 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
