Talk:Java Edition hardware performance/Archive 4

The distribution of Linux is irrelevant. Only the architecture and kernel version is truly necessary, and possibly other things such as non-default CPU schedulers(such as the Brain Fuck Scheduler), SMP, and preemption.

Just added three Operating Systems running on the same laptop, might be good data. Wolfos

Do you guys realise that update with optimization (such as 1.5) = whole table invalidated? --TheBix 13:36, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Laptop/Desktop Category
It has come to my attention that when browsing this page, there is no column that denotes whether or not the information came from a laptop or desktop system. The processing power of laptops will always be lower than that of desktops, even when they have the same series of processor. For example, most mobile Core i5/i7 processors are dual core w/hyperthreading, resulting in 2 real and 2 virtual cores. Conversely, most Core i5/i7 processors in desktop systems are in fact true quad-core CPUs. The same principle also goes for video cards and their power. I think that for clarity, there should be a column in which it is stated whether or not the system is a laptop or a desktop. I would add the column myself, but I didn't want to drastically modify the page without the opinions of others. If this is deemed a good idea, please implement it.

>>>My laptop has a true quad core CPU (i7 740 QM) and even that is significantly weaker than say an i7 920.--72.231.136.150 01:12, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

>>>Yes, thank you. I've always wondered if Minecraft is just laptop-unfriendly by design (has been getting better since 1.9pre6 and RC2, but 1.8 and the earlier 1.9 Pre-Releases couldn't even load a world without sp614x's OptiFine mod), or if it's just the fact that mine is lower-mid-end (AMD 2.1GHz dual-core, ATI Radeon Mobility HD 4250, 3GB RAM). Adding a column for the system type would be helpful. --76.22.45.127 22:08, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Dynamic lighting
Now that Minecraft has dynamic lighting, should it be enabled or disabled when doing these tests? Mr0 15:45, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Have fancy on. Just follow the screenshot rules. There is a section here that explains the standard settings. MoonBeans (u-t-c) 20:45, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Adding a column "Java Version"
I would like to add a column "Java Version", advantages are: --Visitor 09:36, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
 * We can find out if java 7 is really better for running Minecraft then java 6 like some players reported.
 * Players might notice then that they use an outdated java version and upgrade it. Some very old Java-Versions are really slow!

Perhaps another thing is some of the Linux users may be (unintentionally) running Open JDK instead of Sun (Oracle) Java 6 which would account for the unplayable rates on modern hardware. (Unrelated, they may also be running the opensource video drivers instead of accelerated ones)

ABOUT PEOPLE BRAGGING
Can we please avoid having people brag about computers, it's rather childish.

Or at the very least can we edit them so they dont seem so... moronic?

Template
I want to add a Nevbox template at the end of the page, but because of the program used to add entries I cant, because a new entry will then be under the template, outside of the chart. --Yurisho 07:09, October 11, 2011 (UTC)

Remove or reorganize
What exactly is this for? It's just a long list of framerates, probably mostly outdated, some obviously not meant serious (c'mon, Windows 3.1? Really? Now that's a surprise that it won't run!), and because of the all-different writing of especially OSes (and FPS values), you can't even use it to comfortably compare your framerate with others (Windows can be listed as "Microsoft Windows", "Windows", "64 bit Windows", "Windos" (WinDOS?), "Window", "Windwows" and "Wondows", and in some cases just as e.g. "XP" without the name "Windows" at all).
