Hey everyone,
I have recently bought a (what I would call High end Gaming Pc)

The specs are the following
i5 2320 @3GHZ
GTX 970 4GB
8GB DDR3 Ram
1.5TB hard drive.

I am fairly disapointed with the outcome, I have been able to play Arma 3, DayZ, Rust on high/ultra settings are a playable setting.

I have gone to test Minecraft and sadly it seems it's unplayable. 40FPS is the average occasionally goes up to 50-70 what still feel's fairly choppy.

It's not low specs as previously i had a
i3 something
gtx 650 and it ran minecraft on 100+ frames.

Very disapointed if someone is able to help with this issue would mean alot thank.

I have not got VSYNC Enabled.

Minecraft is really wierd even with that i5 100+fps should still be...
Ok, I don't say that you don't have a problem or that is normal what you are experiencing, but you do NOT have a high end gaming PC. More like medium.
Now, for your problem. Monitor CPU and GPU temps while idle and while gaming with MSI afterburner. You might have thermal throttling.

What is your PSU and what resolution you play at?

Did you use DDU to install the new GPU drivers?

Did you reinstall Windows after the upgrade?

Any other games have low fps?

Hi, thanks for replying so instantly. Ok, I have a AOC 24inc Monitor 60HZ I believe. I do not know where I am able to find these temps, please tell me how. I have a 500Wat PSU and 1080p.

I do not have this issue in any other games, I am able to play them no issues. Just Minecraft! I thought it would be the other way round haha!

I bought my pc so windows was installed and given to me, and ddu. Not really into pc so this was a massive improvement from the previous computer I ahd haha.

From what I understand, Minecraft is mainly CPU-limited, so your graphics card won't make that much of a difference. It's also single-threaded, so the additional cores of your i5 over your previous i3 won't make a difference. Your framerate will mainly come down to the performance of a single core on the processor. You didn't say what model your previous i3 was, but depending on which one it was, it's possible that it may have offered better per-core performance, even if it had fewer cores. Do you know which i3 it was?
 


Minecraft is really wierd even with that i5 100+fps should still be possible. I also have this issue on on of my pc's it has a pentium g4560 in it and mc is always around 60fps whilst my q6600 runs it at 100+fps at the same settings.
