Hey, I was looking at old screenshots of minecraft from when I first got my PC and I'm seeing that I got 2000-3000fps usually. Now I only get 100-500. Does anybody know why? I tried adding more ram to my jvm arguments and stuff and nothing seems to be working. My game settings are also the same/similar to how they were. I miss having that many fps.
Post a screenshot with F3 enabled and your JVM arguments.

Dude. Nobody needs that much FPS. 100 FPS is PLENTY.
But if you're wondering why your frames dipped so much, I think it's because 1.13 is just a lot more laggy in general. I dont know why. It just is :/
1. I know it's plenty and there's hardly a difference, I just want my pc at peak performance
2. I'm just on 1.12.2 though? Although version change could actually be part of it since I got my pc back in like 2014. Still, feels like there's something else I'm missing

I don't really know how? I didn't have GeForce Experience installed so I tried installing it to disable the overlay and even that I can't install for some reason.
Don't install GeForce Experience for disabling it!
If you don't have it, you're fine.

This probably explains it - the system requirements (CPU and GPU) have increased by a lot since then (I'm willing to bet that a large majority of Minecraft players fail to meet the current recommended, or even minimum, requirements, which are probably more for 1.13 since they were recently updated but 1.12 is much more demanding than 1.7/1.8).
In any case, your monitor cannot display anything even close to even 500 FPS, maybe not even 100 (many monitors only refresh at 60 Hz, meaning that they can only display that many frames per second; you should either limit FPS to near your monitor's refresh rate or enable Vsync, which ensures that the game refreshes when the monitor does to prevent screen tearing).

I used to play Minecraft on a Dell Inspiron 531 with 2GB of RAM and Windows Vista for the first year I had the game, and got ~10-30fps in 2013 on 1.6. I hooked it up again a month ago and tried to play 1.12.2 on it because I was curious, and it still got ~10-15fps. It was probably only that high with 1.12.2 because I put in a different hard drive with a fresh installation of Windows 7, and I put in 8GB of RAM because I had extra DDR2s

I post things about stuff. Exciting, I know.

Lower the render distance.
Disable GeForce experience overlay.
I don't really know how? I didn't have GeForce Experience installed so I tried installing it to disable the overlay and even that I can't install for some reason.
Don't install GeForce Experience for disabling it!
If you don't have it, you're fine.
Even with a render distance of 2 and with absolutely nothing in view I only get a max of 800fps. Is there ANYTHING else I could do?
Turn on VBOs and turn off mipmapping.

TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
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?
