My Minecraft has a problem that makes its fps limited to 30fps, no matter what i do, it is 30fps, and my laptop runs 60fps, It used to run 200-300fps, but now it rarely does that, i tried every setting, disabled vsying on Nvidia control panel, still same problem

Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M

It really pisses me off because i can't play like that (lag spikes) and i wanted to run shaders too but that problem won't let me run smoothly

Hmm, actually there could be couple of problems. Maybe your computer is overheating, maybe has too much dust. But i think, that you actually did something in the settings. Because it kind of sounds that you say it stays at 30 fps all the time, and to have framerate to stay at the same point, you have had to changed something maybe.

Open up Minecraft, Login, click on "Options..." then click on "Video settings" and then in the top right there it should say "Max Framerate:" and click on it and scroll it all the way to the left till it says "Max Framerate: Unlimited"


If this doesn't work, I recommend you install Optifine.

Let me look into that.

I couldn't find anything in the launcher menus. Maybe check the options.txt?

My GTX 970 can run mc at 400-500 fps with peak performances of 900 fps lol, in 1080p with settings maxed out (except for render distance, which i keep at 20)

Go nvidia

...That aint 1920x1080. If you're not using standard HD, and max settings, say so.

Secondly, don't play on Mineplex. They've stolen builds done by friends of mine to use as minigame arenas a number of times. Namely, the Island Town map, which they didn't even bother to break the sign within it saying "Island Town - Built by xxxx."


You're missing the point. I don't have video of my 660 playing Minecraft maxed out at 1080p, but I can tell you for sure that it was consistently over 300 FPS. I posted that video because that's all I have on-hand.

It's sad that Mineplex stole maps, but stealing maps is not an uncommon practice and it's not going to keep me from playing there. That's beside the point I was making anyway.

I do a 1080p Minecraft benchmark with my GTX 970, which is about on-par with a 290X if not a little weaker if you want.

My point exactly. A weaker card is getting a better framerate than a stronger card.

Go figure.


Uhh, no, that's literally impossible. a GTX 660 has NO CHANCE of getting better frame rates than an R9 290x. No way. You're either lying, or you're lying. Maybe both.


I recorded this a while ago, back when I had a 660.

lmao, yeah... by far. The 660 is only about as good as the PS4.

lol what a communist. A 660 kills a PS4 by miles.

Or there's something else limiting his performance.

discOtterIts REALLY doubtful that you were getting 300 FPS with a 860M, considering that I can't even pull that with a R9 290x...


...What? I got over 300 FPS with a GTX 660.

I'm pretty sure a 290x>660...

Its REALLY doubtful that you were getting 300 FPS with a 860M, considering that I can't even pull that with a R9 290x... Anyway, try the following (in order, even if you've tried it already).

>Update to the latest Nvidia drivers
>Install OptiFine (http://www.optifine.net)
>Go into video settings, and make sure V-Sync isn't on - If it is, turn it off
>Place the slider in the "frame rate" setting on "60"
>Test it out in a flat world

If, after that, it still doesn't work:

>Delete your .minecraft folder (you can take out anything you'd like to save)
>Re-install the LATEST version of Minecraft
>Install OptiFine
>DO NOT change the video settings, and test it again in a flat world

---------

List your laptop model, CPU, RAM, etc... in your reply.

Do you have your laptop plugged in when you play? It probably has switchable graphics and switches to the iGPU when it's on battery.

Check switchable graphics and see if it is set to be powersaving all the time.

Well, according to you, you only have a GPU, and no computer will run on just a GPU. Did you turn on any settings, allocate more RAM, install anything etc.?

Your graphics are not dependent on how much RAM you have allocated? An FPS lag spike is completely different from a Data Lag Spike.

i just posted the graphics i have because the other things won't really do something to Minecraft's fps, my friends already fixed those things for me so

CPU has a MASSIVE impact on Minecraft's performance. You could have 4 980s in SLI, but if you only have a Celeron 430 (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80557430) then you aren't getting any good framerates.

Close out Minecraft. Close the Launcher.

%appdata% > .Minecraft > options.txt

12th line down.
edit: maxFPS to the default max '260'

it says my max fps is 260, it is probably a graphics problem or the game itself on something
