Ok, so my problem is i sometimes get low fps (Like 60 - 150) instead of the usual (3 to 4 hundred fps, and sometimes even 700-800). This is not normal, because it is only sometimes that i get this. I know what you're thinking, 60 - 80 fps is good, but when i record it lags a lot so i want REALLY good fps. I record in 1080p30. Its not even every time i run minecraft that i get this. sometimes it is amazing with 400 fps. but rn i have only 150 fps and i want to record. And it changes, like from 150 to 180 to 120 to 80 to 90. I even have optifine installed.
Looking at your FPS changes it looks normal depending on the area you are currently at. Still have 90 to 80 FPS you should be fine unless you have a 144Hz monitor 90 to 80 fps should be just fine since most monitors are 60Hz and you can only see 60FPS on those. You don't need to record more than 30 to 60 anyways.
Was there any major changes to your system?
Do you keep you Geforce drivers up to date using Nvidia Geforce Experience?
If you record don't use obs, fraps, or anything like that. NVidia GPUs have a built in recording software called Share Beta. Use it because it won't lag your pc when recording. Also make sure you have NVidia Geforce Experience 3.0 installed and the latest drivers.
60 fps is considered optimal/good. This makes you sound kinda spoiled tbh. In your settings turn V-Sync on. It caps your fps at 60 and makes your fps count a lot more stable with less drops and such. Have more fps just pushes your PC harder. No need for that if you can get 60 fps.

Having more FPS does not make it harder on your PC and V-Sync won't help him it just makes things worse. V-Sync lowers you performance can even add to the lag and if the frame rate drops below this person's monitor's frame rate it will cause horrible screen tear. Never use V-Sync unless you are using games that must use it like Fallout 4 but even if it does need it instead use adaptive v-sync as it performs better than regular V-Sync. WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE DISABLE V-SYNC ON PURPOSE?
What do you mean FPS doesn't run your PC harder??????? The whole point of your GPU is FPS. Lower GPUs can't have as many frames because they can't make them as fast. The faster your PC is making them, the harder it's working. Actually, most people don't know what V-Sync is. V-Sync stabilizes your fps to 60. It's only good though if you PC is pushing out quite a bit more than 60 frames. I'm not saying V-Sync is good for everything but it's not terrible. Also, I'm not saying I dis agree with you... but I entirely disagree with you.
Also, how much RAM do you have? That'll effect your FPS a lot depending on how much you have.
Nevermind I just saw it. 8GB is good enough for Minecraft but I recommend getting DDR5 RAM since it's better and 8GB only costs about 35$ now
If you want more performance when recording use the free built in recording software for NVidia GPUs. It's called Share but it used to be called Shadowplay. Look up some tutorials on how to use it and access it.

V-Sync, or vertical synchronization, actually limits the GPU to the max frame rate of the screen, which can vary from monitor to monitor, not just 60fps. it prevents the GPU from changing anything till the screen has drawn the full picture (usually from top to bottom) to prevent tearing, provided you are getting the same FPS as your monitor or higher, there is no reason NOT to have it on. in the case of minecraft it can assist with chunk loading significantly as all the extra CPU/GPU power is going into that rather than a non-noticable amount of frames. so in short you were mostly right, but the other guy is defiantly still wrong

When did you start having these issues?
Former everything.
How to get dxdiag

All you have to do is get GeForce experience which you get instantly with any GeForce GPU.

Unless you fps is bouncing around still when you have V-Sync then you wouldn't need it. You are correct.:D
