So to explain this, when playing minecraft in full screen my fps would stay around 145 or 150...However when I exit out of fullscreen to windowed mode in minecraft, my fps shoots up to 190+ fps in the game and stays that way for a while and never dip down to 145 or 150 only when rendering worlds...
This is perfectly normal; in fullscreen mode the GPU has to work harder to render more pixels. Also, if you consistently get that many FPS I recommend that you enable Vsync, which will lock the framerate to what your monitor can actually display, usually only 60 (up to 120 or more for good monitors) - that's all you are seeing no matter what the game says, and you'll get a more stable display as well (without screen tearing).

So the fact that I get more fps when exiting out of fullscreen and going into windowed mode in minecraft when clicking the "fullscreen" option off in the settings, is normal?

TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?
