So sorry ?

Hey so I tried your suggestion, and nothing changed. Although! I must've done a little oopsy as I am talking to my friend who did the majority of the building for me and he was present when we loaded mc for the first time.So... turns out we decided that what happened was that the 250 fps was when we loaded minecraft for the first time and render distance was set to default (10 chunks) and I had F3 open at this time. I must've closed F3 to look at the glorious new monitor and decided to turn render distance up to 32 chunks and not press F3. So the render distance was at 32 chunks and I must've had around 60fps so I didnt notice the lag and assumed I still had like 250 fps cos human eye yada yada yada 60fps. TLDR I wasted your time and I'm a special little snowflake.

Yeah I know that, I had vsync off on minecraft and the screen tearing wasnt really noticable. Maybe that was just because I was in awe of everything as the monitor size and fps was a huge improvement on my old pc. When I had vsync on it locked to 144Hz obviously but I was just wondering why I wasnt able to achieve the fps I had before, that's all. Not that I would need it, it's just that I'm worried I won't be able to achieve the maximum performance on other games when I test them out (I haven't tested any other games out as my wifi is garbage).

Let me start off by saying I have a very limited knowledge on computers and usually have to spend a lot of time researching or watching videos to get anything done. But anyway. So I recently built my new pc after having an older one for 5 years. When I loaded up for the first time I downloaded Minecraft for a quick test of the new system. Everything was running well with maximum settings on 1440p at around 250fps. I had the render distance set to maximum chunks, which I think is important for later on. So I don't really know a lot about overclocking but I was watching some videos on how to do it and I decided to set my cpu (Intel i7 9700k) to 5Ghz and my ram which was at 2133Mhz or something to 3600Mhz (which was what I paid for). I was running cinebench for benchmarking and got a better score after overclocking and temperatures were around the 70 mark. I didn't manually change any voltage settings but as I wasn't getting any errors I assumed everything was ok. I loaded up minecraft again the next day and saw that I was only getting an fps which varied from around 30fps to 80fps at times. When I looked straight down or up (or when I lowered the render distance) I was getting around 400fps. This is what made me think it was to do with the cpu. I reset all of my overclocking settings to default and loaded Minecraft again but I was still getting the same lower fps. I don't understand how I was able to get a solid 250fps after first playing on the brand new pc and now I cant even reach 100fps on the same settings. If anyone could help I would greatly aprreciate it. My specs are: CPU: Intel i7 9700k Graphics Card: GTX 1080ti RAM: 16 gb (2 8 gb sticks) at 3600 Mhz DDR4 Monitor: Aorus ad27qd 1440p 144Hz Boot-up Drive: Samsung 1Tb m.2 Storage Drive: Seagate Barracuda 2Tb 7200rpm PSU: Corsair rmx 750x
