Hello everyone,
Dispite my okay hardware (16 GB RAM, Xeon E3-1231 V3, GTX 950), I manage to pull out some pretty mediocore FPS on... minecraft.
I know it's a poorly optimized game, but I run it with optifine which is ment to optimize it.
To see if something was horribly wrong with my hardware, I ran NZXT CAM on another monitor and found that my hardware all had low usage, most notably the GPU.
CPU and RAM usage was all but constant, and the GPU was mostly low, but in the few times I did reach FPS that made sense, it was higher, but it was ever at 100 percent, maybe 60 percent max.
Also, when doing something you would think is less graphicaly taxing (like say, staring at the wall for no reason) my GPU usgage and FPS skyrocket. However, when doing something that should be harder for the GPU to pull off (like looking into the distance with maximum render distance and all the setting maxed out) usage drops to the twenties and FPS fall with it, also into the mere twenties.
I have tried a clean install of the latest drivers (might rolling them back help?), optimization mods, reinstalling the game, raising settings in Nvdia control panel to "trick" the GPU into full usage, seting power to "prefer maximum performence", and even overclocking (I hold 100th percintile for GTX 950's in user bench now
), but it hasnt helped.
Good to note is that it works fine on servers (although theres much less to render there) and the drive its installed on only has 35 GB free (could that cause all this?)
I am at a loss... hanks for suffering though that post.
