I just bought a gtx 760 for my PC and my neighbor who is good at tech stuff helped me put it together. Once we put it together and installed it and updated the driver we loaded up minecraft (which is what I'm trying to play). Once it was loaded up I was expecting 350 fps cause my settings were low due to my last graphics card. It ran max of 60 fps. We did some tweaking to the settings on my computer and got it up to running about 150 fps on 1280x720 quality. I am looking to record the game and when recording it will not go above 65 fps on these settings. I would like to get like 250 fps on good quality settings on my normal monitor settings 1920x1080. When recording I would like to get around 120 fps. What can I do to fix this low fps problem? 4gb ram 550 watt power supply. I'll add some more details later

Actually SEEING it and distinguishing the difference is where things get really interesting.


Whether its physiologically possible or not for the eye to see 1 million frames a second, does not matter.

What matters is what you perceive and if you can even notice the difference.

9/10 people will not be able to tell the difference betweena constant 24FPS and a constant 60FPS.
There are however many that have a trained eye and can do it, they are the exception, not the rule.

Besides, the credibility of a user created post on some random forum means nothing to me. You can find proof or disproof of ANYTHING by a simple google search, its the credibility that counts.


Now the MAIN reason I said that is because MOST people only have a...

Minecraft is more of a CPU intensive game and is single threaded if I'm not mistaken. I've tested my FX-6300 with a R9 270X vs his i7 3770 with a 660 and he absolutely crushed me even though my graphics is better than him. Try doing as the guy suggested and turning off v-sync.
 
Minecraft BARELY uses your graphics card, you could run it on integrated HD4000 graphics and get 60FPS.

What CPU do you have?

FOr the record, 120FPS is COMPLETELY useless.
Anything above 60FPS is useless, even IF your monitor can display it, the human eye can not see the extra framerate.

First hit on google : http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/7199031187
Your eyes CAN see past 60fps. Don't spread internet-myths...

I didn't mean to step on your toes, the discussion goes on in the thread i posted with some credible sources and arguments for both sides. Even though MOST people have a 60Hz display a seasoned gamer, especially on FPS will usually notice a difference in smoothness. The second issue is the refresh rate of the screen and the occurrence of 'tearing'. If somebody has the possibility and budget to get a nice 1440p screen with a refresh rate of 144hz it can never go wrong.

Yes i too have a 60Hz screen and i've tested and gamed on the specially designed, marketing-filled 200+ Hz screens and I don't find the difference worth the price of upgrading etc. My preference goes to a higher pixel density as this increases visual appeal in games if your GPU can handle it.
