Minecraft Windows 10 AWFUL FPS on 3080

[Namsrow]

I have a 3080 and 5600x.

 

For a while I was running windows 10 Minecraft with raytracing at 24 chunks no hiccups whatsoever. Now, it's running awfully. It runs at 60fps for 5 seconds at a time then locks to 30fps randomly. If I'm super lucky it'll stay at 60fps for a while, however when i start to move it gets extreme lag spikes, locking to 30fps for a few seconds.

What's extremely weird is i was about to record a video with NVIDIA overlay to provide an example of this. When I start screen recording it fixes the fps problems, as though recording makes minecraft get properly recognised by the system and provides proper performance.

I've turned of Nvidia overlay, ran in windowed, restarted, updated windows. What the hell is the problem here? the card is obviously capable of running this, it's just locking up for some reason.

How much memory and at what speed do you have?

I have 32gig ram installed, not sure what you mean about the speed though.

Sounds like Standard Vsync
Go to the Nvidia control panel, 3D settings, the second tab for individual games, find or add minecraft, then force adaptive Vsync at the bottom of the list.
So instead of the 60 60 60 60 60 30 30 30 60 60 60 it should do 60 60 60 60 58 57 54 57 59 60 60 60 behavior.
That's if Standard Vsync is the issue. (Not sustaining 60 it can drop to 30/45 Hz values until GPU load allows it to go back to 60)

I have a 5900x & 3080 and I also have issues with high render distances for some reason. Vsync is off, and my FPS dips to around 30-45 fps. I haven't tried the recording thing, I'll check that out. I use Fabric and the Sodium mod (no shaders for this though) and I get high frame rates (locked at around 240 FPS).

You can find the speed in task manager under the memory section. Should be something like ---- MHz.

Just tried that, it caused really bad screen tearing even though I was under 60fps. Improved it from 30fps locks to around 45-50fps locks instead

My memory speed was 2133 MHz if that's what you wanted me to find.

Another thing that may be worth mentioning, my monitor is a shitty old Samsung 60Hhz without any Gsync or Adaptive sync technology. Running a HDMI to display port adapter connection.

Well thats both good and bad expected.
When GPU gets hit hard you can't sustain 60 in RTX form.
Does a lower form of DLSS get you there and keep you there?

What Memory Kit / Speeds did you buy? (2133 is Jedec basic minimum for DDR4, so if you bought faster it's not using it and this can affect your minimum drops to not be as bad in extreme calculation heavy scenes if you can use a faster spec)

This is what I have installed:

https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/memory/ddr4/61665-f4-3200c16d-32gvk

 

I'm not sure how to use DLSS, never worked with that before. I have upscaling switched on in the minecraft settings, but there is no customization for it beyond that. 

 

I'm a little concerned as I disabled the adaptive sync in control panel, and I've still got screen tearing.

Disabling Adaptive Sync back to how it was? and Game Vsync is enabled and still tears? weird..
I don't know why that would happen... under the same circumstances (both in game and on control panel)

Your Memory... seems to not be using its XMP rated settings, which you can enable within your BIOS/UEFI on your motherboard.
Usually there is a button for it on the simple bios screen, in the advanced menu you might have to dig to find it (or read the manual)
3200Mhz from 2133Mhz will have a decent increase on the "low side of the drops" and they shouldn't be as harsh either.

Hahah you lost me there. So I need to increase it to 3200Mhz to get the most out of it? 
What confuses me about this is the problem is literally fixed if I screen record. Runs flawlessly then. It's as though when I play it's considered a background process and screen recording prioritises it. I have no idea.....

Just increasing it to 3200 without actually selecting the XMP profile won't have it load the XMP settings, the board will auto negotiate less performant settings for 3200Mhz. the XMP is a manufacture guarantee of the sticks working at better settings (lower latency) but you have to enable it.

Setting just 3200Mhz isn't what you paid for.. due to you have to use XMP to get the XMP "profile" loaded.

 

If your recording enabled higher performance "which isn't normal" I would actually uninstall drivers, use DDU (Displaydriveruninstaller) to remove junk left over, and reinstall the latest drivers again, and quickly disable and reenable NVShare once you get back into GF-Experience on the new driver.

 

Takes a couple minutes.

Uninstall Nvidia Drivers, Reboot, DDU, Reboot, Reinstall Nvidia Drivers, Reboot and Test.

How is this performance tab looking?

I'm going to hold off on DDU for a bit and try some other stuff, maybe just reinstall Minecraft. Never been comfortable using that program to be honest.

Not liking DDU isa fair game... but I swear by it as I've helped hundreds of people solve their driver issues with just DDU alone.

Glad your at 3200Mhz now. XMP enabled or did you just select 3200Mhz from the SPD list?
 

Spoiler

Recommend XMP over manual 3200Mhz selections due to other timings being way off....the ones set after the primary timings.
Xmp has the work done already.

XMP is enabled and has drastically helped performance. I still have odd stutters and locks here and there that shouldn't happen, but this has made it well and truly playable. Thanks mate
