P-states on amd gpu with minecraft

[bandgeek12345]

i have an AMD R9 280x from XFX and this thing is a champ. exept at minecraft. and thats due to the P-state or power state being wrong. it goes into a 500mhz clock when playing minecraft same as an idle clock speed. and the frames are terrible. if i run 2-3 full hd youtube vids in the background i can get the P-state to change to P-0 the full clock power setting. and the gpu just eats the frames but if im not running all those videos my gpu goes back to idle clock setting. ive looked around the internet with no luck to find a way to manually set power states or to make a setting to change powerstates when applications are active. if anyone have a clue please let me know. and i dont want to hear the usual stuff about minecraft being cpu intensive and my cpu cant cut it. it can ive seen it top 400+fps with P-0.

 

CPU fx 6300

gpu r9 280x

ram 8gbs 2x4. 1866mhz

monitor res 1920x1080.

 

if anyone have a clue or a hint where i can find some answers please let me know. every little bit will help me on my quest to find the answers i need.

had this issue the other day when I bought mine craft. 

This should fix it.

just tried it out didnt help. im still getting 30-60fps and the core clock is still sitting at 500mhz. ty though. i appreciate the help.

Only thing I can tell you is cut the block render distance to 8 or lower. That's the only thing that effects me, I am good at solid 60fps up until 18 blocks after that it starts to get choppy.

but are you getting full performance out of your gpu? thats what im trying to do. i can 60fps easy. but i want my gpu to actually do work. no i dont need 400+fps but its alot smoother when the fps dips are between 380-400 than 45-60. its not that minecraft doesnt run, its that my gpu isnt working to run it. i know my gpu sounds great but not when its being lazy. haha.

haaa. No the smoothest experience you will get is when you gpu and you monitor are outputting the same exact frame rate. You are new to computer gaming I take it? Minecraft is probably the least smooth game even when locked at 60, and setting the block distance to max won't do you any good either because the game will only show you about 20 distance anyway. Just go for a locked frame rate of your monitor. You gpu is not going to work to render mine craft. Think about it. It's minecraft. I can hit 1000fps if I unlock it. But it's not smoother than 60.

im not new to pc gaming actually. and i know my 60hz monitor will only show me 60fps. but with 400+ fps rendered it will never miss a frame when displaying. but if my gpu is only doing 45-60 constant. when it dips to 45 i will see the difference. im just trying to get the smoothest/cleanest look at all times. i dont mine overhead frames being lost to the computer gods aslong as i get 60fps constant displayed on my panel.

It's not your gpu that is the problem. It's the game code. It's awful. It's poorly optimized. It's not that your cpu or gpu cannot handle the game at that framerate it just because the code is bad. So again I just suggest turning down draw distance if you want more framerate. You hardware is not going to be utilized. Some games are just not made well. Minecraft is one of them.

yeah i guess you are right about how bad minecraft is. i guess wanting perfect frames on a badly optimized game is kinda asking too much. ty for the help and conversation. ill just have to deal with sad minecraft being sad minecraft. haha.

yeah, tis but all we can do. It's a java game.

I remember when it ran like shit on my 780 until I installed Optifine which made Minecraft run smooth for me.
