Does anyone else use shader mods while playing?

I'm pretty sure shaders/minecraft does not utilise the second GFX card...

Also I used to use shaders all the time in 1.6 where it didn't seem to lag and I got 100FPS +. Now I use it rarely with 40-100FPS. It does look beautiful, I would recommend Rudo Plays' pack.

Ever since I discovere shaders a couple of years ago I can't stop using them for anything, it feels so cool to play mcsg with shaders. It gives the game itself more of a cinematic feel to it for me. :D
It does, but you need a good computer and someone once told me that they cause mice lag when playing. But i will admit that shaders (Cirten types) make the game and maps feel like an art piece.

I used it like 8 months ago and got about 30 fps or something like that on tiny.

Was about to say that, Minecraft only runs off one card.

It does use both if you play fullscreen

Also in theory you wouldn't need a Gpu to play minecraft since it runs off your cpu more due to calculations but in Fullscreen it will run off of both cards

You have to have a graphics card to have a computer, whether it be integrated into your CPU or not...

I said in theory lrn2read
I can read quite well thank-you. Still, in theory you are incorrect - you need to have a GFX card in order to see anything on your monitor... You stated that Minecraft runs of the CPU more which is true, but a game isn't a game if you can't see it. Also where are you sourcing this information from that Minecraft can run of more than one card, I would love to know more - is it of the wiki or a similar site?
