Is there anything that stands out that is an almost definite cause of this, or should I just start diagnosing? He has always had performance issues with modpacks, and I have not, even when I had the exact CPU he has (before I upgraded and gave that one to him.) HIS however, was using 20-30% CPU, over 10GB of RAM (made me worried it was cutting into his virtual memory and causing it, still unsure) which is double what mine was taking up, and around 70-80% GPU usage. for me, I was using about 20% CPU, 5GB of RAM, and my graphics card was peaking around 40-50% utilization. So, I started monitoring our performance/part usage in task manager just to give me a good idea of what was going on. I know Minecraft is typically 'more CPU intensive' but his CPU is still pretty decent and I would think (it's my old one that I gave to him and rebuilt for him) from my experience that it shouldn't be hindering his performance that much. When I launched the same modpack, and set it to use the exact same settings (minus optifine), I was consistantly getting over 200+ FPS. (My CPU is a Ryzen 5 5600x, and my RAM is Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3000MHz, 32GB, as I have a lot heavier workloads when not gaming than he does). My CPU and RAM is better than his, however my graphics card is a GTX 960 2GB and getting to the end of its life quite honestly. I however, tried it myself to see the difference on my PC, and it was MUCH better. He is running on a 1080p monitor at 60Hz. His system consists of: Ryzen 5 2600, RX 580 8GB, and 16GB RAM (I believe 2666MHz). the only thing that made it any better was adding optifine, and turning on smart animations). He decided to launch a modpack (Vault Hunters Official), and his performance was completely tanked. We both game, but he does a LOT more than I do. If not, I can move it.Īnyway, so my boyfriend and I both have decent PCs. I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this.
