Hi guys. First of all, I want to say that I know this has been asked thousands of times, but none of the other threads have solutions that work for me. In games like Minecraft and team fortress 2, I get low FPS. I am using a 750 Ti and an FX 6300 overclocked to 4.3GHz, rock solid. Here is my pc build:
http://pcpartpicker.com/b/d8r7YJ
I have tried these things:
In Minecraft, I only get 15% GPU usage MAX. Even at 15% I still only get ~50 FPS. Lowering settings a lot increases fps a lot, but that's not really a fix. Also, overclocking the GPU in msi afterburner only increases performance in all games and benchmarks by a few FPS. This is where it gets weird:
In Heaven 4, Gpu usage stays around 80%, and I get like 85 fps. (This is the basic preset) Same thing in FurMark. Since both of these benchmarks are way more intensive than minecraft, I would think I would get far greater FPS in minecraft.
Tl;dr: Minecraft gets horrible FPS and uses little GPU. FurMark and Heaven 4 use almost full GPU usage and get great FPS. None of the solutions on other threads with similar issues fix this.
Has anyone had a similar issue in which RMAing solved the problem? What should I do?

I have tried these things:
*Choosing "Prefer maximum performance" in Nvidia settings.
*Disabling and Enabling TurboCore in BIOS
*Allocating more RAM
*Running a stress test before playing
*Overclocking GPU (I'm too scared to tweak voltage settings right now, maybe someone can guide me through that here)

I ran FurMark for a bit and this is the result:

Max temp was 60C, usage was ~100%, fps were around 30. Bottom left is temp, MSI afterburner window show GPU usage.

Strange results with MSI kombustor... this is supposed to be the most extreme setting.

sorry for late respond dude ..
OK, the GPU and CPU are fine and u don't have to OC your CPU to get the card full power but it's OK .
what Driver R U Using now ?
have U installed latest driver ?
if yes, install older driver and try again but do not try beta version stay with WHQL and keep me up with results.

I just did DDU earlier. Reinstall went fine, no improvement. I also tried re installing the game and java, allocating more ram, and setting all case fans to max to see if temperature was the problem. Here is a link to the heaven benchmark I just rain on basic settings:

Going through the same thing again now that I have changed to an Sapphire R9 270. This time I did notice that the GPU usage spikes to around 90% for a second and then goes back down to around 20. I don't know what to do.
In this video a guy uses the same setup and plays a modified version of minecraft: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHjSlEtnRHE
The mod makes the game have shadows and moving foilage, which takes up a ton more GPU power, and somehow he still gets great FPS.

In Minecraft I get about 50 FPS at max settings, while my cheap laptop graphics card gets 200. Here are the tf2 frames you asked for as well:
On all settings at High, and texture detail set to Very High, I get 180FPS almost constantly. GPU usage goes to 40 max. Very confusing results.
Minecraft uses 30% max and gets 50 fps, a much simpler game than TF2. TF2 gets 200 FPS on near max settings. I have no clue what to do.

I noticed an instant fps increase of almost 20 FPS when adding these arguments to the java global control panel:
-Xmx3G -Xms2G -XX
ermSize=256M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CICompilerCountPerCPU -XX:+TieredCompilation
GPU Usage is still low. I disabled ULPS in MSI Afterburner with no result, this is supposed to disable power saving features. (Underclocking)

I returned the 750 Ti to get an sapphire r9 270. Supposedly it has 35% better FLOPS, which is a lot.. and that makes up the majority of gpu power.

Yes to just creating the world, graphics are at 16 chunks, fancy, max smooth lighting, vsync off, vbos on, mipmap and anisotropic filtering off. I can play these settings on my GTX 765M (laptop's card) with 150+ FPS. This is a $170 card, should it not get better performance? Why can I play TF2 with such great frames and not a simple 3d, 16 bit texture game?

CPU usage is at like 35% and the CPU overclocks itself to 3.65~ GHz (a 0.15 GHz increase).
I also just tried unparking my cores.
What do you mean turn off afterburner?
I know I'm asking a lot here, but this is a widely known issue. Maybe we can find a final solution to solve half the player's problems.
