Woah. Those are cool.

What texture pack is that?

Those look amazing.  What video card(s) are you using?  I'd like to try this on my computer, and see if I can still keep the framerate in the double digits.

If you want a better look at them look at captainsparklez video on the shaders.

By videocard, do you mean graphic card? If so, my graphic card is named 'nvidia'

Any dedicated video card will do, the only thing you need is enough video memory to load textures (if you use higher resolution ones).
Shaders are just instructions for the graphic chip, the cpu (what MC uses the most) is left untouched.

Simply put, anything made in the last 5 years should pull off 60fps.

Im pretty sure he doesnt me the brand but what ACTUAL graphics card you use.

Indeed, is it a 600 or 700 series? Also is it SLI? or maybe even the coveted 780ti? You must tell us, you've piked the interest!

Yeah, video card, graphic card, display adapter, whatever you'd call it.  My desktops over the past several years have been workstations with integrated video, so 20 fps on fast display settings was a best case scenario.  My laptop does a little better, but not much, and 1.7 seems slower than 1.6.4 for some reason.  I just threw together a 'V6 box' with a cpu and ram bought used, a power supply donated from an old workstation, and an nvidia GT 630.  Not a high spec card, but new MB has no video out, so needed something cheap, available, and within capacity of my recycled power supply.  Been testing it out on MineApoc and seems to do okay.  Just hoping I won't have to buy a bigger power supply and monster cards to crosslink :P  The cryptocurrency guys have run the prices up too high, apparently.

Some more details:

If the video chip is integrated in the CPU, then you're using both the system RAM and the CPU power to do everything. You need a lot of RAM and good cooling.

If the video chip is integrated in the motherboard, then you're using the system RAM and a tiny bit of data bandwidth from the system but the work is done on the graphic chip. You still need a lot of RAM.

If the video chip is on a dedicated card, the rest of the system isn't doing any graphics computation.
Both the workload and the heat are distributed on different pieces.


Something like an Intel Ivy Bridge (CPU+GPU on the same piece) _can_ cope with the workload if the CPU can go above 3Ghz without cause overheating on the system.
Number of cores is irrelevant in this case.
(I've extensively played MC, Torchlight 2, The Witcher 2 and other games on a i5 with integrated graphics, all with maxed out settings).

When playing Minecraft, even more if you're playing on laptop, check the temperatures.
I've said this in a lot of thread in plenty of forums but people tend to dismiss "collateral" thinking it's unrelated.

If the temps are too high, the whole system will throttle down performance to avoid hardware damage.
You could notice FPS drops or never reach a decent framerate solely due to high temps.
In the worst case your system will shut down.

An nvidia GT630 is more than enough to run any shaders.

Before upgrading all my system I had a GeForce 9600GT (overclocked, granted, but still 6 years old) and that thing could run Skyrim in high settings.
I think you're safe :P

Indeed the only ones available in the past months have been very low end or very high end cards the rest are bought out =(
