Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Intel i5 3570k Quad
8G DDR3 1600mhz (OC) Corsair Vengeance
240GB SSD (Only 120GB partitioned to Ubuntu, because I can't afford crap-Windows for my convenience.)
ASUS P8Z77 MoBo
and Antec 750W PSU and MSI DVD burner.
Intel HD 4000 for graphics. I don't have a GPU yet because I am still saving up for that.
Okay, so, Minecraft runs like a charm on this new computer; in vanilla there is practically nothing I can do that gets me below 60 FPS. Only problem is that it never goes above 60 FPS. I have tried installing OptiFine, and still, a max of 60 FPS. I can see an occasional 61 or 62, but when I set the render distance down and graphics to fast, nothing. The only difference between a far render distance and fancy graphics and the opposite is that I see actually see an FPS dip when I record, to about 50 FPS on the higher graphics and such.
So, is it some sort of setting that limits Java to that FPS? I know that I don't have Minecraft set to v-sync, and even multicore OptiFine does nothing past faster world loading. Any one else had this problem?
I did find a related topic, but the people just argued about how fast the human eye could see, so no help. I can't find anything through Google; too many unrelated results.
Check your graphics settings (on the computer, not in-game). There might be some sort of vsync option in there. I'm not sure if Linux even supports OS/graphics vsync, but it's worth a shot at checking.

Thanks for that.
I felt stupid for not thinking of that, but after a bunch of Google searches and accidentally disabling OpenGL and freaking out, I can confirm that that did not change the FPS, sadly.

Thank you for that time you just gave me.
