gpu 100%, solution?
I have tried to adjust different settings to make the load on my gpu lesser, but still extreme framedrops, from 80 to 3 ish. My initial problem was not enough ram and my cpu took a beating which I have fixed by allocating 8gb ram to minecraft instead of 4 and lowered settings for the cpu, but now the problem has shifted to gpu.
In F3 it says my GPU go to 100% especially when I turn around
I only use Better Adventures+ modpack and DH, feels like my expensive computer should be able to handle this but I dont really get what settings to focus on, V-sync on/off, fps cap, render distance, nothing seems to change the problem, where should I put my focus?
my specs
OS: Win 11
cpu: Intel core i7-13700F
gpu: NVIDIA geforce RTX 4070
RAM: 32GB

you WANT the GPU to be at 100%. That's how you get the most frames out of your card
so this is not the reason for my framedrops?
at times it says about 40% and dont lag, then all of a sudden when i turn around or something it goes 100% and lags
what shaders are you using? Sounds like either a heavy shader in terms of a certain effect such as water, or that area of your world is very heavy, like lots of leaves or block entities
1 sec, I wwill check. the area in the world is by the coast and next to forest so this might be it
Bliss
hmm Bliss has always performed exceptionally well for me, even better than Complementary, probably thanks to the deferred rendering.
could you send a screenshot of your F3 menu?
and as I turned around (lagging around)
fps drop and gpu 100%
I do see a lot of leaves so it may just be that. I would recommend getting the more culling mod and turning on leaves culling
I mean it works fine when I look forward but as soon as I spin around to check behind me it becomes unplayable
I do have entity culling mod through the modpack
I had a similar issue once, where every time I turned my camera just slightly the whole game would hitch for a significant amount of time. I think just restarting my PC fixed it but I don't remember
Sounds like frustum culling works as intended.
This is Sodium's behavior by the way. Helps improve performance by a lot, so maybe something you don't want to disable.
Also, you're playing with Distant Horizons, which means extra load on your GPU overall compared to just without it.
I have the same issue where my computer has periodic lag spikes and I'm pretty sure that every time the spike happens the GPU hits 100 percent
and it only happens with shaders, the weirdest thing is the lag has nothing to do with what is rendering, I get well over 60 fps and then the spike drives it down to 10 with input lag and other issues at the same time
So i just tried lowering my render distance from 64 to 32 and no lag ofc, testing my way up again I got to just under 60 wwith no lag, and meanwhile I wait for the chunks to load I run around a bit, thats when i realized I started lagging specially much next to my little campsite with a campfire a bed and a few chests, is it possible that ex. the campfire contributes my game to lag this much? I will solve this problem by just finding what render distance I can use wwithout lag and sticking to it, still wway better than without the mod
actual chunks or DH chunks?
because even 32 is a LOT
especially paired with DH
I think the modpack has another mod that allows me to get up to 90 in the normal minecraft settings, which is the one I am changing.
yeah that will cause huge lag spikes when turning your camera
I would not go over 32 and just let DH handle the rest
but on 32 I cant see the mountains on the other side of the water
wait for the chunks to load in
DH will often times render from the outside in for some reason
but there is this end of map fog or what its called as you can see in the picture
I dont think that they will render, as the fog of war or whatever is what the render distance will change
what version of bliss are you using?
that border fog shouldn't be there if DH rendering is on
maybe you just don't have the render distance on DH long enough
okay so I must admit im stupid, but i fixed it.
good to know that you did, means that anyone else with the issue will have something to try as a fix!
I went for the wrong render distance, ofc my computer is gonna fry if i put minecrafts render distance to infinity, Initially I lowered DH distance, and it stayed low, so when I wwent back to fix the render distance I only used minecrafts own render distance
back when I had all those other problems wwith the cpu and ram I lowered DH distance, and forgot about it
yeah, with DH you only need 8 chunks of render distance and the rest can be done with DH
wwell problem solved and lesson learned, minecrafts render distance does not have to be high, DH will fix the rest for you, trust the mod, not the game
thanks for the help 🙂
You got it :)
