Low FPS New Build

[sajitha wewegama]

Guys I have recently built a new pc and am using Minecraft as a benchmark to see gaming performance, however the results are quite disappointing.
My FPS is constantly hovering at 30Fps-55Fps at ultra settings in Minecraft and I know I should be getting above 60fps.

Why is this PC experiencing low fps? Any suggestions will be welcome.
I have installed Chipset driver from mb website, then latest GPU drivers from Amd and I am yet to start installing windows update.
Thank you all

CPU:FX6300
MOBO:970AD3P
GPU:R9270X
RAM:8GB
PSU:550W CORSAIR
OS:Win8.1

What is the Frequency of your ram ?? Is it 1600MHz ? if not then that can be one of the issue because 6 core or more than 6 core cpu needs minimum 1600Mhz of ram or else it will bottleneck.
and what are your system temps ??

 

[Rationale]

Minecraft only uses 1 CPU core. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if that was just the FX-6300's strength on 1 core, but I could be wrong about that.

Yea my ram is at the frequency of 1600Mhz :/,my ram timing are also manually set to 9-9-9-24.Thanks for the quick responses guys

My i3 is more stable 😛, so I don't think that is the issue

Do you guys reckon I installed the drivers incorrectly? Cause if I have to reformat it will be like my 9th time for performance issues :/

Any i3 is much stronger for Minecraft than the FX-6300.

This is just incorrect.

Could be the issue although the single core performance of an fx 6300 is still quite respectable. Try downloading the Optifine mod for minecraft and turn on multi-core processing. This might fix your issue.

Get the mod here:

Download the HD Ultra version for whichever version of minecraft you are running (most likely the latest).
You might also want to download magic launcher as it makes adding and stacking mods on minecraft a lot easier.

Magic Launcher can be downloaded from here:

Dude the thing is I don't want to use Optifine as I believe MC should run perfectly fine with this build.

[Rationale]

If Optifine fixes it, then it was just your CPU single-core performance that was too low. If it doesn't fix it, then something is actually wrong. Either way, you should install it to test and either confirm or disprove the idea.
