Morning all.
About 6 months ago, a friend of mine had a build created for him (cost him around £2500). The rough specs are, 6700k @ stock, EVGA 1070, 32GB memory, etc. Last month, after months of saving, I built my PC for gaming, recording, editing, steaming, etc. (Specs should be shown end of post) Now, something we like to tease each other about is how many FPS we can get in Minecraft. His PC can, without any problem, reach 1500 FPS most of the time. In environments where there aren't too many objects to render, over 2000, and at one point he hit 5000 (while staring at the ground).
Now, me, with my newer CPU (which I have since underclocked due to high temps), and supposedly far faster GPU, even with half the memory he has, I've never been able to hit 2000 FPS, idling most of the time around 300-400. I was going to let this go, but I saw another Minecraft player yesterday with their 1070 running an average of 500-600 FPS.
My question is, why isn't my (supposedly) far faster system destroying the FPS they manage to get in-game? Obviously, there is the argument of settings and that, they both run at default graphical settings, same as me. And I've even lowered the settings massively, still cannot beat their FPS.
Do I have a faulty component somewhere? Are EVGA cards that much better than my Gigabyte? Is it because I missed some obscure optimisation that I should have done while building my PC, compared to his being built by professionals?
Would appreciate any help at all. Thanks
