Guide for less lag in 1.8

SirCallow

So I get 100fps on my non-gaming laptop, and I knew @@Cookies713 had bad lag, so I decided to make a guide on it. Basically, set your video settings to the ones provided below, and you will get better fps.

Most important things:

1. Turn "Use VBOs" to the ON setting. By default it is off.
2. Turn graphics to Fast instead of fancy. There is no noticeable difference IG.
3. 8 chunk render distance is plenty
4. Depending on what you usually get fps-wise, you will have to mess with your Max Framerate.

~~NOTE: I have OptiFine 1.7.10, so this may influence some of the fps, however, I don't think it is compatible with 1.8 anyway, so consider this guide OptiFine free.~~

EDIT: Actually I wasn't using OptiFine I forgot I stopped using that profile.

Also if you have Optifine Turning off 3D entities is a last ditch effort for good frame rate.

Well no. not mobs, just like if I dropped a block it would not look 3d it just looks 2d and follows where I look.
