I just upgraded (Changed) my graphics card on my desktop, and now Minecraft plays at 60 fps! (YAY! I have slow computers, don't boast about 500 fps) However, it says that, I still have lag. I have no idea why, This moniter's pretty old, so I think that the moniter might be a bit slow, but for 60 fps? I wouldn't think so. I'm wondering if it's the computer with a problem or something. It's not that old, so I don't know. Help is obviously appreciated.
Well, the fps says 60 fps almost exactly. Yet it's still... Choppy I guess. I'll put it this way, says 60, seem 15. And when I meant says, I meant seems. I'm not playing on a server either, I mean lag like my computer's not powerful enough. You know, old Windows 95 playing it at 5 fps graphics aren't smooth. Again, the debug menu says it's playing at 60 fps. While playing, it's not smooth. Is that a better explanation?
I can't tell if you're just one of those very picky people who expects games to play perfect and if they don't you will deem the gameplay to be laggy or if you really have a non frame rate issue causing gamplay to be unsmooth. More info about your system specs might give us some ideas on what could be causing an issue. Otherwise I don't know what to tell you.
Only reason why I started this was because I thought 30-60 fps was smooth gameplay, yet it's not smooth. But here's my specs: nVidia GE force GT 520, 465 GB Hardrive For some reason when I hit properties on my computer, nothing shows up... I'm using Windows XP By the way... So I don't know the RAM Or processor... It's AMD something and I think it has 4 GB of ram... Not sure...
It's interesting that this guy just posted a thread and sounded like he was experiencing a similar issue to yours. However he recorded himself and no sign of what he was seeing on his screen. So perhaps you both have a display issue of some sort.
Possibly... Like I said, monitor's old, so that might be why. It's not in good condition either, as in white lines across the screen, sudden black outs... I guess that's the problem... New monitor. Thanks!
I would like to affirm that the problem definitely arises from your monitor. Most semi-modern monitors can avoid choppiness with v-sync. However, if it really is old then you may run into problems.
Okay, I would I like to say one more thing. Well, 2 technically. First, thanks for giving me solutions. Second, none of them worked. I think it's may be the graphics card settings because I got optifine, and according to the lagometer, they're lag spikes. If it's from the monitor, would it show the lag spikes? I turned off v-sync, reduced it, but it's still choppy when it says 60 fps. It may be part of the monitor, yes, but some of it is in the graphics card settings. is there some things I could change? I set everything to performance than quality. I think I have an AMD athlon 64 x2 3800+ dual core. If that helps. I could look for the monitor online, and tell you it. From what I saw, it's a Viewsonic LCD Widescreen monitor. Reviews say it's absolutely horrible, so this actually be the problem. Just the lagometer detects it. So is there any settings in the graphics card control panel I should change? Sorry for late and long post.

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..
