I recently built my first computer (Which im very proud of :) ) an so i decided to test out minecraft to see how much fps i would get and I only get 60. I have minecraft settings at unlimited fps i do not quite unsertand why so. I am fairly new to these kind of things so my apoligies if i am asking an obvious question. Here is my build: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/QtP7sY

AMD drivers hard cap some games. I don't know but maybe minecraft is one of them now

I can get over 60fps with my R9 270 so no it doesn't cap it.

Did you install your AMD Catalyst drivers from AMD own website? Currently 14.4 is the latest non-beta driver.

i installed all the drivers and stilo stays at 60 fps... i will mess with it tomorrow and hopefully find a solution. i dont mind playing at 60 fps but i'd still like to maximize my gpu.

If you try lowering some settings, do the fps increase over 60fps at all?

Do you have a global Vsync turned on in one of AMD Catalyst settings?

What monitor do you have? 'Maxing' your graphics card to get more than 60fps is completely pointless unless you have a 120hz or 144hz monitor as your monitor will be unable to display more than 60 frames per second.

I am using an old tv until my monitor get shipped... is that the reason it only goes up to 60 fps? :p

What monitor are you getting? Unless you're getting a high-end gaming monitor I wouldn't worry about trying to get better than 60fps, could cause issues like screen tearing etc.

You don't need to max your GPU while playing games. The card would run hot if you don't turn VSYNC on. You're just going to waste FPS because the maximum FPS your monitor can output is 60 FPS.
