Minecraft performance issues since 1.6.6

[Dark_Desires]

so anyone had this i know me and about 7 of us who play on my minecraft server have noticed a lot of performance issues and were geting fed up with it
so anyone hear that agrees and want to help us with a mass complaint in the minecraft forums more of a patition just saying that alot of people have had
performance drops my gaming group has mostly pc with 2- 2.4 ghz quad cores
and most 2 gigs ram and 1gig graf cards so if u wanna help just let me know

Did you update your server stuff?

1.6.6 was buggy as all hell.
1.7_01 seems to have fixed the performance issues quite a bit. There's still some issues, but it did help.
Tomorrows 1.7 update should fix even more of the issues.

Also, yeah, updating your server to the absolute latest version is a must.
And with having 7+ people on your server, make sure the server software has at least a gig, preferably more, of RAM to play with (Note, having it in your system, and the server actually being able to use it is 2 different things. Use the '-Xmx1024M -Xms1024' flags when you run your server.jar). Minecraft servers take up an absurd amount of memory to run smoothly.

2GBs of RAM isnt going to cut it running a Minecraft server with 7 people on it lol

The .jar file for minecraft only uses 1 core and a maximum of 1.5GB.

I have a the 2600k i7 and it only uses 10% of the overall maximum of my chip.

Also, whats your download and upload speeds?

Your graphics card has nothing to do with running minecraft. The game renders its graphics and sound from the CPU.

On a side note: It doesnt matter how much memory a graphics card has. a 1GB card isnt always faster than a 512mb card.

By the way, is there anything new in the latest update? I haven't been able to play it for a while, so wondering.
Or is it just bug-fixing, etc?

ok let me say i dont host we bought a server from some american group its a dedicated box with 4gig ram also i have noticed in both 1.7 and 1.6 minecraft is laggy for me and most of my mates the only thing have in common is our pcs and we play on the server i play singleplayer and the performance is not great 1.4 performance was good

Then they need to do better resource management.

Only uses 1 core and a maximum of 1.5GB.!?!?!?
Goodness gracious, that's a lot!

On a side note: It doesnt matter how much memory a graphics card has. a 1GB card isnt always faster than a 512mb card.
That depends. If that 1GB is "Shared/Dynamic VRAM" and the 512MB is Dedicated, then yes, that is true.
On the contrary, however, if that 1GB was also shared(which is really expensive), then the 1GB would be notably faster.
The GPU also plays a major factor in this.

That's true if you run the .jar by itself.
But you /can/ use the "-Xmx -Xms" flags to give it more breathing room with memory.
And you're right for the 1 core. But that's true with a lot of programs.

Then they need to do better resource management.
They do.
They totally do.
It's a horribly programed game.
The game shouldn't even use 1/8 of the resources that it uses. :p

The GPU plays a HUGE factor in this. My GTX 460 with 1GB of GRAM will kick the shit out of a Radeon HD 2600 with 2GB of GRAM
Also, the GRAM type also plays a HUGE factor. GDDR6 or 7 will obviously outperform GDDR3.

Ummmm.............

.....okay! Sure! :confused:

I'm no GPU expert and stuff; I'm happy with whatever is good for the intended purpose. This nVidia GEFORCE GT540M CUDA something or another. My system seems to have both integrated and dedicated Graphics.
Here, have a look at the following and tell me what you think of it:

Yeah, this is kinda off-topic, but oh well...
