So I've just gotten a new Graphics Card, the MSI Radeon R9 270x 2GB and started up minecraft to realize it lags. Rarely exceeding 30 FPS. This is quite shocking to me as I can run games such as Sniper Elite 3 at Ultra settings with a very good framerate. Is Minecraft not running off of my graphics card, or is it something else. Any help would be great, thank you in advance
EDIT: I've updated my drivers and Java, just so we're clear.
Well I'll throw my 2 cents in, what are you using as far as disk drive? HDD? SSD? Minecraft's weakest part is probably disk I/O reading and writing to chunks constantly.
