What hardware affects minecraft render distance fps?

Will upgrading my cpu or gpu affect the frame rate at high render distance?

It depends on what your bottleneck is, but most likely the GPU or you don't have enough RAM. Can you list your computer specs?

Distance and FPS is your video card.but-t-t-t-t if you have a processor and it is being pushed to hard buy the game info coming in along with other non game programs running… That's where it may bottle neck…( you have facebook running / skype / iTunes / twitter / instagram all open and running )… Catch my drift?

Now if you probably have an i3 /i5 /i7 ( or amd equivalent )… Your not to bad…

Next big thing… Your power supply… If your looking into a new video card. Check the power supply minimum requirements… Then see what power supply you now have…
