Pretty simple, when I first had my PC, minecraft ran very smoothly, could get up to 120fps in vanilla single world, 90fps online, and 60fps with 20-50 mods, however, throughout the course of a month or so, (excuse me for my french) that all went to ****. Now i can manage to get 20 fps in vanilla singleworld, 15fps Online, and I don't dare try using mods, i attempted it before and well I could get around 5-10 fps. Is my system rusty? Or what is going on? I have tried to change settings in Minecraft, I have put them on low settings and on high settings, I have used Nvidia and selected to give Minecraft high performance priority, I have worked on multiple things before, however, my Minecraft is just ****. I can run Watch_Dogs, FarCry Primal, The Evil Within, DeadRising 3, Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor, Ryse: Son of Rome, and so many other high end games, but my PC can't handle a 3D game of pixel graphics? Are you shitting me? Honestly, I haven't deleted Minecraft yet because I have hoped that one day i will find a solution that actually works, but well that was almost three years ago, so please, I would really like to continue playing again, it was a game i once loved dearly, but now haven't touched for years, here are my system specs, any and all help is appreciated.

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4210M CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.60 GHz

Installed memory: 8.00 GB (7.88 Usable)

System type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor

EDIT: I thought I should mention some of the solutions I have tried in the past,here they are:

Uninstalling Minecraft and reinstalling it

Installing the 64 bit version and the 32 bit version

Clearing my game (erasing all data)

Giving Minecraft performance priority

Turning ON and OFF VBOs

Putting the graphics settings on the lowest possible quality

Putting the graphics settings on the highest possible quality

Installed optifine (all variations)

Given more RAM to be used in Minecraft through the launcher

Tested it with multiple accounts, all work the same on my system

Switched the framerate to 60 and to Unlimited

There are other things I have tried, but it was so long ago that i no longer remember what I did.

I did what you said and posted a DxDiag Report, here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23744023/

I would also like to mention that though what you say makes sense, even though it would seem to be the issue that my system can no longer handle newer versions, I cannot run older versions as well, and I cannot play on 1.7.9 or versions prior without the same amount of lag, so the version I play on doesn't seem to affect the amount of lag I recieve. I am (and have currently) attempted using the newest version (which I believe to be 1.11.2, whichever one is the newest version as of January 5th, 2017)

And THANK YOU for the reply, I do not know if you could possibly help fix my issue, but any kind of reply is better than anything, so thank you very very much.
