The only thing I am concerned about is the clock speed which will be slightly lower, but the price will be a bit cheaper. Already looked up motherboards that support OC'ing. Is there any point in getting anything more than 8GB DDR4 for Minecraft? It's not much comparing to motherboard and processor but still costs.
Thanks for the advice on the GPU's, I deffinatly will not be buying right now, so waiting seems like a good option.
Well, only hardware intensive mods that I plan to use are shaders with view distance maxed out 32 chunks(or beyond, like 128). Top with texture packs though I couldn't figure out how to get them to work so settled with Default Imroved.
Most likely going for 6700k with 16GB RAM ddr4 at 2133, though with you saying it doesn't need it that much then I dunno if it's necessary. RAM is cheap and 16 or 8 is not that much of a difference.
GPU wise going for 970 in short term and 1060 in long term.
Do you figure that will do the trick with maxed out draw distance and shaders (i know this is unmodified forum so just go for 128 chunks to get rough performance that will be needed)?
Single core performance is more important for Minecraft.
So getting a 6600K and OCing that to 4.5GHz or even more would be the best option I think.
Also don't use CPUBoss or GPUBoss but rather this site http://cpubenchmark.net/ (or change the cpu to gpu in the url to get to, well, GPUs).
You have to keep in mind that some CPUs have a faster standart clock speed which will lead to higher results in benchmarks but having similar CPUs at the same clock speed might get rid of the gaps.
3GB allocated RAM is already enough for a lightly modded game. Do you have DDR3 or DDR4 RAM? AFAIK you have to use DDR4 with Intels 6xxx series.
And please don't get a 970. 1060 or better (AMD has unfortunatly had a bad history with OpenGL drivers).
Maybe you can find a used 980Ti for less but I wouldn't bet on it.
I most likely will not be OC as I am relatively new to this.
Judging from same said CPUBoss which as you said is bad, it supports DDR3 although at 1600, whereas I got 1333 IIRC.
Reason I said I will be getting 970 is because I will be getting it for free. But if 1060 or something else will be better, then in long perspective I will be getting that.
@Minecrafter060105, how will RAM benefit the game? With the overkill settings, what is it used for, storing chunks that are currently loaded or is video memory used for that, etc?
Hey everyone, upgrading a pc for (mostly) minecraft purposes. Looking to play it on max with shaders but since this is unmodified wanted to ask what kind of hardware minecraft is hard on.
Is it optimised for multiple cores, or single core performance more important to it?
Will RAM make any difference if I will have 64GB or 8GB, on render distance 128 (vanilla supports it) or more, what hardware is needed the most? That kind of stuff.
I am currently stuck with either 4790k, 6700 or 6700k processor, pricewise they are all similar, and I am getting 970 GTX video card with it. I have SSD already and 8GB RAM with 3GB allocated to minecraft.
CPUBoss tells me 4790k has best single core performance, whereas 6700 will be a better choice overall but slightly less single core performance.
I got 2 questions, these shaders are supposedly very heavy on video card, so the better, the less lags you get correct?
So overall, what kind of a system would you need to max out Minecraft with these shaders on and what minecraft is heavy on, CPU, memory, Video? (farthest distance, AAx4 at least, 30fps minimum)
Anyway to make fog work with this shader? So it is in same distance as if you disable this shader (so you don't just see nothingness from your render distance)
e.g. bedrock fog, overworld distance fog that doesn't show world's edge (non rendered space)
Thanks for your response. Tis shame, such a great mod. I hope it will have some stuff fixed and new mods similar to this will arise more often (like ambiotic or whatever its called)

128 chunks = 128 view distance. Here is how: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-mods/1272953-optifine-hd-d1-fps-boost-dynamic-lights-shaders?page=2457#c51098
(I will ask later when I get all the hardware on how to increase it in optifine but in other thread)

Cheers for the tips, if I go into budget (which looks like I will), then ram upgrade will go along with the CPU and GPU.

How do you disable light of held items? While its nice to hold a torch, when its in water seems strange.
Of all items.

About the bug, disregard my mistake. All is well
This + MATMOS + Footsteps = awesome although matmos is very limited. Thanks a lot for this!

I would like to report a bug
Sound reverb only affect the front speakers. Rear/Surround seem to unfiltered sound.

Damn that's a shame, how about using rain fog but increase the distance of view? Would that be possible?

Looks good, but why can't I download this off the official site? Gives errors about it being inaccessible
