Hey guys, I used to play minecraft a lot more on my old laptop when I couldn't run games like BF4 etc. but on my two week old new PC build, the game runs at around 90fps then every 20 steps or so dips down to 40. This is driving me crazy to think that VSync is off, 4GB or ram has been allocated and my old laptop ran more smooth!!!

AMD FX-8320
R9 280
8GB 1866 HyperX RAM

Sorry to bother anyone but this is driving me round the bend because I just can't understand why it isn't functioning properly. Hel would be appreciated greatfly, thanks XD

Try using core parking for Minecraft (and any other game that has issues). In particular, use cores 0, 2, 4 and 6 as the "main" cores for each game you want to play.

How to do core parking? Try this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRFCb5Ydeu8

As an alternative to that video, download a program called "Process Explorer" from here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

Use it first for testing and if that doesn't yield any results, we can explore something else.

Cheers!

Minecraft drops frames when something big happens, like when it renders blocks, an explosion takes place, you jump into water etc. If you download Optifine at http://optifine.net/downloads it may help a bit, turn down a few settings. I don't know why it would be worse on a better PC, but it could be overheating like Mr_Venbeer said.
