BaconUnicorn. I can help you. Go to your start button. (hover in the right corner) and Right Click.
Click Control Panel. Then Search your graphics driver. IF you do not know, click Uninstall programs (it gives you a list of programs also) And find the program. Then Just Search the Brand. Ie Intel Graphics Card, search Intel, NVidia Graphics, Nvidia. Hope it helps!

Just to be of help to Forairan, I just did a video that shows how to get better fps for those who use Windows 8 or have the Intel HD graphics card. Link to the thread: http://www.minecraftsurvivalgames.com/threads/fps-boost-for-windows-8-intel-hd-graphics-card.48488/ I made a separate thread so people that have specific questions about Windows 8 or Intel HD Graphics Card I can address specifically.

With the way the new Minecraft launcher works, the dedicated/more powerful GPU is not activated on machines with 2 GPUs for power saving, like laptops. Here's a way to force the more powerful GPU to be activated, and thus likely improve your framerate, if not improve it entirely.

DISCLAIMER: Minecraft Survival Games takes no responsibility for any issues that may be caused by this guide. Although this guide is not very likely to cause issues (besides reduced battery life while on battery), you take full responsibility for any issues that may occur by following this guide.

Section 1: Operating System
If you are on Windows, skip to Section 2: Windows.
If you are on Mac, skip to Section 3: Mac.

Section 2: Windows

1. Look on the right side of your taskbar for an icon that says "NVIDIA Control Panel", "Catalyst Control Center", "ATI Control Panel", "AMD Control Panel", or something similar.
2. Based on the icon, skip to the appropriate section for your graphics card. If you have a NVIDIA card, skip to Section 2a. If you have an AMD/ATI card (this includes an icon that says "Catalyst Control Center"), skip to Section 2b.

Section 2a: NVIDIA

1. Open the "NVIDIA Control Panel".
2. Under "3D Settings" on the left, navigate to "Manage 3D Settings".
3. Under "Global Settings", change the "Preferred graphics processor" to "High-performance NVIDIA processor". If you do not see this option, this tutorial will likely not work for you.
4. Save your settings, exit, and restart your computer.

Section 2b: AMD/ATI

1. Open the "Catalyst Control Center".
2. Under "Power", navigate to "Switchable Graphics". If you do not see this option, this tutorial will likely not work for you.
3. Under "Choose a Graphics Processing Unit", click "High-performance GPU".
4. Save your settings, exit, and restart your computer.

Section 3: Mac
Mac OS X makes switching to the dedicated GPU a lot easier.

1. Open "System Preferences".
2. Click on "Energy Saver".
3. Find "Automated graphics switching" and ensure it is unchecked. If you do not see this option, this tutorial will likely not work for you.
4. Restart your computer.

I hope this works for anyone having issues!

If you don't have a graphics card like me, you can always use optifine. :/
