Why can't my great PC run Minecraft well? I am getting FPS drops from 60 to 45 all the time and it drives me nuts. Especially when I should be getting above a hundred on max settings.
My guess is you just need to upgrade your PC. Minecraft primarily needs Ram to run well, if you have anything above 8gb of ram you should be fine as long as your CPU and GPU are at least mediocre.I suggest you try out a site called “Can I Run It" (I would link it, but the link is unnecessarily long and I don't know how to link it to text) This site will have you download and run this thing that checks your PC specs, and when you look up games on the site it will compare your specs to the minimal and reccommended specs.If your PC doesn't match up with the recommended specs it will show you which hardware you need to upgrade, if any.Another possibility is if you're playing on a server, the server may be causing your FPS to drop due to some issue with the map.My tip: If you don't have 8gb of ram your PC Isnt “great" as 8gb of ram is sort of required if you want to be able to play almost any games. I honestly would suggest moving up to 16gb of ram if you can, and upgrading your GPU and Processor if it doesn't meet the requirements.Edit: When you say great, I'm assuming you're PC doesn't have terrible specs, which is primarily why I said upgrading those specific parts. As I read other answers, a few other things that could play large roles in it is your Hard Drive or SSD, Overheating Issues, and viruses.

Are These Good Minecraft FPS?
Meh , MC is a fairly unintensive game for a PC , although the high end settings can be seriously damaging for fps compared to what you actually get out of it (I'm looking at you , far render distance ) The problem is you're not exactly talking about what you WANT to get out of it. If this is simply about whether the FPS is "good " then it's what you see on the screen - some PC gamers hate having things lower than 60 FPS , as they're used to that and anything less doesn't feel " Smooth ". However , many people can't notice the difference - Consoles like the Xbox360 and PS3 are LOCKED to 30 FPS , and many people are fine with it. Honestly , if you can't feel the difference between 60 fps and 40 fps , then ramp those settings up. FPS is just how smooth your game is , and if you can't notice the difference , there is no point having 10 more frames a second for a worse looking game..... Please give me more information on what your'e trying to ask ?
How well will Minecraft run on this PC?
Eh, it should be OK on lower settings. Just get an addon Graphics Card (Even a 8600GTS will do, and they are super cheap). But, just stick it on the lowest settings, and slowly move up to see how well it goes :) But, I would just stay with Low/Medium, since there isn't much graphical difference for the game (for smooth gameplay)
How many FPS would Minecraft get if ran on the strongest supercomputer in the world?
It would probably cap at the frame rate of the monitor, either that or the max frame rate of the cable used to connect it to the monitor. Minecraft does have a setting to remove any frame rate caps, so the frame rate would either be capped by the capabilities of java, the cable, or the monitor. The max refresh rate (and therefore the max frame rate) of some of the best monitors around is about 144Hz, which translates to about 144fps. Assuming you have a good enough HDMI cable or whatever you use, this is your biggest problem.On a different note, Minecraft would likely not be able to make full use of the power of the supercomputer. You can allocate almost as much RAM as you want, but it theoretically caps at roughly 256TB because of the limitations of a 64 bit system and also 64 bit java. The problem is, Minecraft can’t make full use of your CPU. Because of the way multi-core CPUs work, (almost every CPU nowadays is multi-core) Minecraft can’t make use of all the cores. It can only use one, and if you add the Optifine mod you can use almost 2. This means that the amount of CPU cores that you can use and the speed of them will cap your speed assuming you have the absolutely gargantuan amount of RAM to hit the theoretical RAM cap.
MacBook Pro Minecraft fps?
I'm thinking of purchasing a new MacBook Pro retina display. I play minecraft a lot on my crappy PC. I play a lot of multiplayer mini games. Around what fps would I get if I play on multiplayer mini games because I get about 15 fps on mine and need a huge increase
