on a 7870 GHz Edition  Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Hi, I recently got a new graphics card: Sapphire 7870 1GHz 2GB
Dual-X. Its a pretty damn good performance boost in most of my
games compared to my old GTX 560 ti but in Minecraft I have a
problem with my GPU usage (only around 30-40%) which results in
low frames. My old card reached well over 100 - 200FPS easily
but this new card for some reason doesn't, it only gets around
60-100 Vanilla and 30-60 Modded. I've tried using Optifine but
to no success. I need some help in getting my card to actually
do something when running Minecraft, any help appreciated.

had my 560 ti in which maintained FPS of over 150. The problem
is that my 7870 only reaches around 30% GPU usage in the game.
