Minecraft running on the Microsoft Surface Pro (FRAPS)

I decided to record a video of MInecraft running on the Microsoft Surface Pro using fraps so you can see how it runs. I used "Fast" graphics settings for this video.
Note: When recording, FRAPS reduces the game performance.

How is this tablet beating my laptop, this is innovation

[@southern7766]

Fraps is a screen capture software to capture games using directx and openGL functions. I'm doing a lot of research on it, but I can not figure out what programming language the software was written in. But I figured out a way to mimic the program using a Python script.

How many frames did you have, whats with optifine?

[@luckarlie]

yes he is (he did in a black op2 video) and i would think whichever keyboard feels better to you, i havent got one yet but by trying one at the microsoft booth at my mall i like the touch screen keyboard better

[@MultiMasterGamer101]

What render distance is this on and try it with optifine please

[@dzdev]

This is "empty" world, with full world with mods, I think it will lag(optifine is must have). But with optifine probably it can run ok. Also you could press F3 to shows us performance stats(FPS and other things). P.S. It has great videocard, not bad CPU(like in notebooks), so hardware is great, but it costs like top ultrabook. This should be one of the most performant tablet on the market right now.

Fraps is a recording software, not an OS like Windows, Linux, or Mac.

[@Maxxulis]

Thanks for a video good job!

Huh. Minecraft on my Surface pro doesn't run this smooth. I have all settings on the minimum too..

[@skilltone4]

So without using fraps on these settings, is it consistent 40+ frames or something?

[@Taigaworkz]

are you using the surface keyboard to play? If so, which style?

[@MateuszTrocha]

would you recommend this for gaming over the dell xps 15?

[@jamestyson6767]

Can you actually download and play minecraft the normal way or do you have to get a downloader or something.Also is it lagfree? please help.
