Changes: Java Edition hardware performance

Revision as of 10:35, 30 April 2016

Java Edition hardware performance/nav

Instructions

Software requirements

Latest graphics drivers:

AMD users: Drivers + Support
Intel users: Download Center
Nvidia users: Download Drivers, or Nvidia's GeForce Experience; go to Drivers tab > Check for updates.

Minecraft launcher or newer (auto-updates upon launch):

Windows: MinecraftInstaller.msi, or the installer-less version, Minecraft.exe.
OS X: Minecraft.dmg
GNU/Linux: Minecraft.jar (Java is required to execute this file.)

Minecraft or newer.

You may use the latest snapshot or pre-release when applicable.

Conditions for benchmarking

Before continuing, please note: You must read and follow the instructions below for your entry to be accepted. Doing so will ensure that the results are as consistent and accurate as possible. Failure to follow these instructions will result in the removal of your entry.

Requirements before you start benchmarking:

Use only your primary display and set it to its native resolution,
- You may include framerates from Eyefinity or Surround setups in the comment section.
Use only the official Minecraft launcher,
Use only the settings provided below,
Disable any mods before benchmarking,
- (Optional) You may install OptiFine or BetterFps, collect framerate results for windowed and fullscreen mode, then post them in the comments section. Example:

\| comments = Windowed - 56-104, fullscreen - 43-87, using BetterFps 1.2.0

Launcher Setup	In-game Options and Video Settings	World creation
Choose New Profile, and use the options provided below: File:Profile info 1.8.png	FOV - Leave this at Normal Resource Packs - Use only the Default resource pack. File:Hardware Performance Options.png	Game Mode: Creative (Hostile mobs won't bother you)

Benchmarking method

When you have spawned:
- Press F3 to display the debug screen.
- Go to and stand at coordinates XYZ: -127 / 82 / 212. (Displayed on the seventh line from the top)
  - Looks in all directions to load all visible chunks until the chunk updates value drops to zero or a low, consistent value.
To gather FPS results:
- Spin or walk around in a small circle centred around the X and Z coordinates, while keeping your head horizontal.
  - Do Not look straight up or down while obtaining the frame rate. Looking both upwards and downwards causes objects that are out of view, mainly objects on the horizontal plane, not to be rendered which increases FPS. This skews the results.
- Get the minimum and maximum frame rates for:
  - Default window size (854×480), Maximized window, and Fullscreen.
    - To change to fullscreen: Windows Users press F11, OS X users press FN + F11).
- (Optional, but recommended:) Use Fraps benchmarking feature to collect frame rate results. (Using the debug screen lowers the in-game framerate causing results to be less accurate.)
- Record the highest and lowest frame rate values, not an average frame rate, to the ones place. (FPS results such as 200-100 are less accurate than 210-180 or 252-157.)

Adding your results

For your entry to be accepted, you must:

Add your results using only the provided link below, not by editing the results page source.
Follow the formatting of the EXAMPLE entry template that is provided to you.
Not submit an incomplete entry (e.g., leaving out your drive_model).
Not include bogus information; this information is for the benefit of others, not their detriment. Suspicious entries may be removed at our discretion.

By adding your entry, you acknowledge that you have read the Instructions in their entirety.

-** Example: ''OptiFine 1.8.1 HD U C6'', or ''ShadersMod v2.4.7''.
-Follow the template in its entirety when creating your entry. The less we correct, the easier it is on us!
+Requirements before you start benchmarking:
-''Recommended for best frame rate accuracy:''
+* Use only your primary display and set it to its native resolution,
-* Close any unnecessary background applications ''(These may be using up CPU and/or GPU resources while you are benchmarking),''
+** You may include framerates from Eyefinity or Surround setups in the ''comment'' section.
-* Set your laptop LCD screen, or monitor, to its native resolution,
+* Use only the official ''Minecraft'' launcher,
-** Laptop users: Benchmark using the internal LCD screen.
+* Use only the settings provided below,
-** Desktop users: Benchmark using your primary monitor only; do not span Minecraft across multiple monitors.
+* Disable any mods before benchmarking,
-*** Users who compare against entries likely have one monitor. Benchmarks with Minecraft spanned across monitors will not show the same results as with a single monitor.
+** (Optional) You may install OptiFine or BetterFps, collect framerate results for ''windowed'' and ''fullscreen'' mode, then post them in the ''comments'' section. Example:
-''Doing these steps provides better results for owners of similar or same hardware to compare against.''
