Minecraft GTX 970 Low fps, help?

[ShiroArikawa]

Well on my secondary build, that has a GTX 970 and intel i5 6600k, is getting lowish fps, around 100, and i see others with the same cpu and a 960 get 600 fps, the gpu usage is around 15-30%

[TheKDub]

I'm wondering the same, I've got an i5 4690K and Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming, and tend to get 100-200fps, sometimes upwards of 300, but that's somewhat rare.

100 is fine. Your monitor is most likely only 60hz refresh rate. Also wtf where have you seen a 600 fps score on minecraft?

Friends, they sent a video over, and actually its 144Hz im a thug.

V Sync? 

[Taylor Dettling]

Oh wait 600 fps not 6000 fps.

[19_blackie_73]

that's strange, I get around 300-500fps without shaders afai remember

but on the other hand, this will be fine, you don't need that

Refresh rate has nothing to do with the frame rate in minecraft unless something such as V-Sync was enabled, but even then, it'd cap it at the monitor refresh rate, not above it.

Depending on the version, it's possible there's an FPS limit set, though for me, I have no FPS limit set, and have tried multiple minecraft versions.

Allocate more ram to the game, that's more often than not what holds a system back.

And if that doesn't improve fps, then its just the particular launcher or game stopping you, whether its heavily modded, is having to render an overly complex structure(s), etc.

tfw Linus was able to tell 120Hz from 144Hz every time

What GPU do you run? I have 3 way 980 ti. Planning on upgrading to 1080s soon!

Whats your monitor speed?

I allocated 10GB i think its plenty, also using Optifine

So why do you need higher than 100?

[Spork829]

Try allocating more RAM to MC through the launcher and downloading 64 bit java if you're running 32. Both helped a lot with my FPS.

75-115 is the range, it never hits refresh rate, its like 40 fps on 60hz

10GB 64bit

Then its just what you're doing, or rendering in game.

Even in vanilla I've built project that would tank fps. My last factions base with my team brought our fps down to near 20 in the grinder room due to all the hoppers, chests, sorting systems, and spawners; none of us have particularly weak rigs either, so its nothing to really worry about.

That's really strange, I get higher fps than that with my i5 4460 and GTX 760 and have less RAM allocated... I assume you have the latest GPU drivers? Check temps, probably not but it could be throttling. Forgot to disable your 128x128 resource pack maybe?

you can feel the difference when a frame is 16ms behind vs 2-4ms behind

since regular monitors dont have any kind of freesync or gsync, the monitor refresh rate is not synced with your FPS

so by having your fps higher than your refresh rate you can reduce the potential time between a frame being produced and you seeing it on a screen

because the entire point of a high refresh rate monitor is to be able to see 144fps...............................
