Windows 7 64-bit, Java 7 64-bit, Core i7 920, 3x2GB DDR3 RAM, Geforce GTX 560 Ti, 13w09a, smooth lighting on maximum: There is stuttering and frame rate drops down to 40 and even 30 sometimes using a 128x texture pack. On the default texture pack it stays above 50 and fluctuates up to 240. This is still unacceptable as it still lags and stutters when you look in certain directions with more activity. I don't want to have to turn off smooth lighting entirely to play the game smoothly. Also, the game doesn't seem to want to fully utilize my GPU. Playing Minecraft, MSI Afterburner reports my GPU staying around 50% usage and never goes beyond that. Perhaps if Minecraft used more of the GPU this problem wouldn't be nearly as prevalent. Changing the smooth lighting on minimum produces no noticeable difference.
