Minecraft Using OnBoard Graphics, not GPU - Help?
Explorer_Halsey
Hello there, I'm currently running two Radeon HD 5770's in crossfire, and have a FX 8120 3.1ghz AMD processor, and after testing temps and loads while playing minecraft, I discovered that my CPU socket and core temps were skyrocketing while playing mminecraft.
I know that google is my friend, so I looked around and was unable to come up with a solution. Some people had LOAD issues on their GPU's/CPU's, but mine is just that my Graphics cards are completely idle when minecraft is being played (no Video Ram is being used, and their GPU usage remains unchanged), while my CPU's socket temp soars to 65c if I let it (at which point my computer would shut down as I set it to).
to put this in perspective, when playing skyrim on max settings I hit maybe 50-52c socket, and never over 36c core temps, while my graphics cards reach about 60c.
I used to not have this issue for whatever reason, before I did a clean win7 install. Java is 64 bit, as is windows. When I capped the framerate using optifine the cpu socket temps still remain around 58-60. This leads me to believe minecraft is using the integrated fx graphics.
If anyone has any ideas as to how I could coax minecraft into using my GPU's like it used to, that would be much appreciated. I'll be glad to supply any other info.
