Minecraft Capped at 30fps

[Vulcan_Knowledge]

I am trying to play minecraft on my surface book 2 15 inch, however the frame rate is capped at 30 fps

 

Here is a list of things i have done to try to fix the issue

disable v sync

changed power mode to max performance

Uses nvidia control panel to tell the computer to use the GPU for minecraft

Lower settings

Increase dedicated ram to 4gb

what else should I try to do

[Crunchy Dragon]

Open your Minecraft settings(in-game), click on Video Settings, and in the top left under Render Distance, there should be a slider for Max Framerate. Set that to 60 fps, should fix your problem.

Is this java edition or Windows 10 edition?

 

For java, do as crunchy dragon suggested, idk if Windows 10 is different.

FIrst of all, is the framerate variable, dipping far below 30fps, or staying at a constant 30fps all the time only going as  low as like 28 or 29 fps? If it's the former, then, you know your problem. Time for an upgrade.

 

If not, then you could try 2 things:

1) Run the newest 1.13 snapshot and go into fuilscreen. In the video settings, there's a slilder called "FS resolution." Turn that down to whatever is exactly half of your resolution in both x and y, since I know the surface laptop has a funky resolution. So if you had a 1080p monitor than 720p would be what you would want to set it to.

2) Go into your monitor settings and make sure your refresh rate is set to 60 and not 30 for whatever reason. This is in display settings (shitty new UWP settings app for this one) and then you'll see this if you scroll down:

Click that and you'll see this:

Obviously you'll have a different GPU shown here. Click the monitor tab and set the "Screen Refresh Rate" to the highest it can be:

 

3) Try another OpenGL game and see if this happens. Or you could try a super old version of minecraft like 1.2.5 and see if that happens as well. Also make sure you have the newest version of Java 8 installed!! (Don't use java 9 for MC)!
