So last month I shelled out about $1250 on buying brand new PC components. I have a hyperthreaded i7 Intel 3.5 gigahertz quad core processor, 8 (soon to be 16) gigs of DDR3 1866 Speed RAM, an Asus Sabertooth Z77 Motherboard and an Nvidea GeForce GTX 770 2gb GDDR3 graphics card.
My PC shakes, snarks and farts like a Pitbull. I can run 3 CryEngine 3 games on absolute max graphics side by side and get 60 frames a second in all of them.
So why the hell does a simple, 100% virgin vanilla with no mods, no special loaders on default graphics settings Minecraft crawl to a halt within 30-60 seconds of loading a world and become completely unplayable at 0.3 frames a second? I've tried reinstalling, fresh downloads, new drive location, turning graphics options to minimum and it STILL does this! It's playable for as stated about 30-60 seconds, but after that the game just... Dies and continues to slow down the longer I keep the game open.
Why does Minecraft suck at optimization so much? It's obviously not anything I'm doing and my PC is one of the best on the market, so the fault doesn't lie with me in any way. What am I supposed to do to make this game playable again?
Calm down. Just because Minecraft's graphics have a retro styling does not mean that you can run the game on a Commodore 64. Minecraft will make a computer work just as hard, and in some cases harder than, many other contemporary games.
Please also make sure the nVidia card is rendering Minecraft, and not the integrated HD graphics provided by Intel. The problem is just usually incorrect settings.

EDIT: Actually, just forget it after a post like that I'm pretty sure it's going to be quicker and less infuriating to figure it out myself than rely on a guy who can't tell the difference between a Commodore 64 and a latest gen set of hardware.

What I meant was the general conscious seems to think that just because Minecraft doesn't look that demanding or resource hungry, it doesn't mean that it can run on an old hardware such as the Commodore. So it may even struggle on high-end machines with the incorrect settings in place, that was what I am trying to say.
See, as a non-mod, I can tell the guy to pound sand.
Obviously the fact that MC works great for thousands of other people but not for him, means the problem is not with him, but with MC.
Obviously.
[Non-snarky: Probably a 32bit/64bit Java issue (top choice) or video driver issue (second choice)]
Set Minecraft.exe or any other launcher you are using to use the Nvidia Card and not the Intel HD 4000. If you do, it recognizes it as a "regular" program as it is coded in Java
Edit : I recommend installing the "Optifine Mod" http://www.minecraft...-and-much-more/
I agree. Using these my laptop runs at 60fps solid with smooth lighting all the way on. (I use v-sync because my monitor displays at 60fps)

Please make sure you are using 64-bit Java, if you are on a 64-bit machine.

I am genuinely trying to help.
