]I have a custom pc that has a Intel Core i7-6700 processor with 16gbs of ram and a gtx970 nvidia gpu. I feel as I get lower FPS then I should. I do not have too much ram dedicated and Minecraft is running on the nvidia gpu. When it comes to playing other games I can run them on ultra settings and get a solid 60fps or more. Also when I am playing I have all the lowest/fastest settings I can. I just feel like something is right. Any help is appreciated thanks

that is more then needed.

And that's probably the reason for low FPS. Usually there's no need to allocate more than 4 gigs, and most of the time 2 is enough. However, as most people know, Java is bad at handling large amounts of RAM. So it might cause instabilities like this.

Oh, and btw, did you know that a human eye can't tell much difference between 60 fps and 100 fps? So that shouldn't be a problem, unless you get like 20-30 fps.

I know but I have a 144hz monitor and can tell it isn't running at full.

Also I am currently running at 2gb and it is still the same.

I am playing on very low settings too. Such as lowest particles. 4 chunk render distance Everything on fast.

Bump

Post a screenshot with F3 details showing, that will help to troubleshoot.

Yes it can. If it couldn't then 144Hz monitors would be pointless. Most monitors are 60Hz which is probably why people think you cant really tell the difference of anything more than 60.

You are getting 83. What is the problem? Look at what is in your field of view, of course it isn't going to be blazing high. As long as the FPS is solid and doesn't fluctuate a lot, then there isn't any problem.

I have a 144 hz monitor and I am also on the lowest settings I can be with a 16x texture pack. Just doesn't seem right.

Yeah that seems pretty low for a 970, especially on distance 4!

Are you using AA or AF settings? (In Optifine or the nV control panel).

And which mods are you using?

I get 80 fps on a 35 dollar graphics card, man, I feel bad for you

Mainly just HUD ones. The hotbar seems to effect me a lot even when the items aren't even held. When I have a lot of pots this will also cause a lot of lag.

EDIT: I also have Potion colorizer to help remove some of the lag from the potions being enchanted :/

Also what are AA and AF settings. I am not used to looking into my graphic settings :/

EDIT: I also have recently tried to just wipe my whole computer to see if this would fix the issue but didn't seem to do much.

Some of those look like they mess with rendering. Time for a controlled experiment then, to eliminate potential factors.

Load vanilla profile, start a world and stare at one thing until the fps settles, record result.

Install only Optifine, start same world and stare at same thing, record result.

Run your usual mods and start the same world, stare, record.

Any changes?

Also AA is anti-aliasing, and AF is anisotropic filtering. Don't use them unless you have performance to spare, they take up a lot of resources for little graphical improvement.

Very tiny difference with all the mods compared to optifine.

That's weird, I expected more of a change than that.

Any improvement in just a plain superflat world?

Thats with all the mods on.

Ok, now I'm sure it's just that server you were playing on. They've loaded the hub area with so many signs and floating text that Minecraft (more specifically OGL 2) is not very efficient at rendering.

For example, I built a guardian farm out of signs to hold up floating water. There were so many signs it dropped my fps down to 40, but when I replaced the signs with fence gates my fps went back up to 400.

I suppose there's not much you can do but move out of that hub area on the server, and hope the other areas aren't as spammed-up with signs and floating text.

Ok :/

Is OGL the engine it runs on?

Also would there be a way to counter the lag?
