Minecraft low fps AMD graphics cards

[Aarondkiller]

so me and my friend both have a problem with our r9 280x's we are getting low  fps in minecraft

what's low fps?

[connorpiper]

Is your FPS limit turned up and V-Sync on? If V-Sync is on, what is your monitor max refresh rate?

What are the settings and amounts of mods are you using? Also try uninstalling and re installing minecraft. Also check you drivers make sure they are updated.

Minecraft is CPU bound. It might be your CPU holding you back. Also, check video settings. You might have FPS limitation (my friends PC limits it to 30FPS randomly when he starts the game).

Minecraft is mainly cpu intensive, graphics cards do not do much for framerate.

Is it a snapshot? And what is your CPU?

[Aarondkiller]

Check that you have the latest Java. Or just turn some settings down.

i had the same problem with my r9 290 for some reason. my 560ti got 60fps while 290 got 40. it doesn't make sense.

so i was reading up on this, have you guys tried going into the catalyst control panel and making a minecraft profile? cause i head the problem was that the cards werent seeing minecraft as a 3d application, and thusly not running at full power. i dont have an AMD card on hand though, so i cant check.

[Malteasers]

anyone try this? want to know before i buy an AMD card

Yes, verify GPU frequency while playing (core clock)

I had an hd 6670 and it blew minecraft away, no problems.

[Malteasers]

Did you have to set anything up in catalyst? was looking around youtube where when recording, they only got 20-50 fps on a 280x

[hrbharry]

Did you ever create a profile in catalyst control? Did it fix the problem? I wanted to buy the r9 280x but I'm not going to if I don't think it will work.

Hey, I know how to fix the problem, first, you download this file, it will help you to clean all the configuration of your amd graphic card: https://www.amd.com/fr/support/kb/faq/gpu-601 

after, you restart your computer in safe mode, run the cleanuputilities program a first time and another time after the finish without restarting your computer, after the second time, you click "restart", and after the reboot, reinstall the amd radeon software and launch modded version of minecraft, and set the vsync to "off", theses steps should change the limitation of fps of minecraft, it worked for me, I have a RX580 nitro+
