Hello,
So i'm playing minecraft and i want to play modded minecraft, on the normal minecraft i get around about 250 fps with max graphics and 12 chunks, which is really good for me.
I have 8GB of ram, and i really can't figure out whats the best amount to alloce, currently i have 4096MB allocated to JAVA, and 2048 MB allocated to the minecraft launcher itself.
What amounts would u recommend me to allocate ? When my pc is idle and im not playing any games, my ram usage is around about 1.8 GB.
How much should i allocate to java / minecraft launcher for the smoothest gameplay ? :)

Btw i own a laptop with GT 750M 4GB graphics card, 8GB of ram, and an intel i5-4200M 3.1 ghz processor.
 
Solution
Are you running a server? If not, 4096 is more then enough, even for a server. I use to allocate 2048mb for a 10 man server and never had an issue, I never seen more then 1300mb used on Direwolf mod.
