Minecraft FPS Low?

[Trojan Horse]

Hi,

I only get around 90 fps on minecraft, even with optifine multicore installed on my radeon hd 6870.. people with similar cards get like 100-300FPS.

this is my rig:
CPU - AMD Phenom II X4 965
Graphics Card - XFX Radeon HD 6870 DD Edition
PSU - 500w OCZ ModXStream Modula Power Supply
RAM - 8GB Corsair Vengeance (4gbx2)
Motherboard - Asus M5A78L-M/USB3
Case - Aerocool Strike-X One Midi Tower Case

i also get like 60FPS on skyrim and crysis 2 maxed out..

all drivers are up to date, ill take a look at java, and what are safe settings for stock everything, and i dont want to reduce my cpu life? (i want to run for atleast 1-3 years on this cpu)

You are not gonna get constant 60fps maxed out on these two games with neither your current CPU or graphic card...

As for minecraft, I don't see the problem with only getting 'only' 90fps, unless you got a 120Hz monitor. Standard monitors only output 60fps max on 1920 res anyway.

I do get solid constant 60FPS +/- on those games. I run 1024 x 768

The problem with minecraft at 'only' 90 FPS is I want to download lots of very detailed texture packs, and I am guessing that will hurt the FPS a lot.

The only reason I am guessing is because for some reason I cant download from media fire.. At all, I need some help on that.. I tried using alternate download managers other than directly from firefox (such as jDownloader) and it still didn't work.. I copied the actual download link and I just get a blank screen.

What..

I cant download mods because for some reason media fire wont work (read my post properly please)

Lol overclocking a cpu to play minecraft sounds something like what the Swedish would do.
