Nvidia GTX 660 Ti Low FPS on OpenGL (Minecraft)

[StartFlowing]

So today, I decided to play minecraft, and noticed really low fps. When I got this computer, I would get around 160-200 fps on ultra settings. Now, no matter what settings I change, it is always at most only 30 frames on a good day. On battlefield 3 though, I could get up to 70 FPS on ultra settings!

I literally tried everything. I did a clean install of drivers, ran minecraft on the graphics processor, set priority to high in task manager, re-installed minecraft, and yet nothing seems to work. Please Help!!!

Specs
Processor: i7 3770 @ 3.1 GHz and 3.9 GHz Max
Motherboard: MSI Z77A-G45
Ram: 16GB Ballistix Ram
Power Supply: Corsair TX750
Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce GTX 660 Ti 2GB SC
Storage: 1TB Hitachi HDD and 128GB M4 Crucial SSD (Using SSD as boot device
OS: Windows 8 Pro

The Graphics card is usually clocked from 900-1000 GHz and 900+ Mn for voltage

I am very desperate as you can see now. If anyone could possibly help me, that would be great!

No the the MOBO graphics won't work for what I was wanting you to do. K so i am running 2 asus gtx 660ti's
but I don't play mine-craft so I just downloaded and installed set up account and took out one 660ti I belive the version of mine-craft was 1.5.2. it did not max out my 660ti but the fps would jump around form 20 to 160sh.but would stay on the high side for the most part, then the game would glitch and freeze up. so I will do some more testing in the game. it sound to me like your GPU is down clocking for some reason or the Kepler platform is having issues. (Question if you reset everything back to were you fps is back up to norm BUT don't play mine-craft just other games, or run a heaven bench mark will it down clock after awhile. or only when you run mine-craft)???. if you don't have heaven here is the link for download I would just go with the 3.0 version for now..http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2111/unigine-heaven-dx11-benchmark-3-0/mirrors See what happen when you stress out the GPU.
one of us will find out the prob..I find taking my time logging every thing really helps on problem solving. In my case I will get overloaded with info and miss what's right in front of me..

Alright thank you for testing! And also, when I am playing games, I run MSI Afterburner and EVGA Precision X. I notice when I played minecraft after resetting everything fps went back up and so did usage. But once I restarted the program, everything went down. When I play other games, it does not go down at all. I have never had any problem with other games with usage or anything, it is only minecraft

I've heard weird problems with some cards downclocking like that. Some people have solved it by increasing or decreasing core clocks by a few mhz.

Also have you tried running the game without afterburner and/or precision?

Yes I have ran without them with no change.
Yet I have not tried changing the core clocks.
Would you recommend trying that?

I would try the change in core speed both +/- to see if it changes anything.

Also, I've seen adaptive power management mentioned a couple times. Mind trying to turn that off so it sets it to maximum performance?

I have tried overclocking and downclocking it a few 10 MHz at a time until i reached 100+ and 100-. No change.

I also turned off adaptive power management and it did not change. I turned it off in just the "javaw" app in the control panel, then globally. No change whatsoever.



Don't...

When You went and played bf3 you said it was fine right?

Well I have a theory. When I play mc with my gt 610 the screen often has a load of white stocked that appear and dissapear very fast. When I turn on v sync its fine. Now wen I play mw3 my GPU is on fire and is at 1055mhz. So what you need to do I set it to multi core, ensure sli is on, go into afterburner, turn that clock rate up and set your v sync to on and off, and get your GPU good and warm. Yell me how that works for you!!!

I did get it working! And your theory was correct. I fixed this about a week ago and forgot to post about it. What I did was I installed tons of mods. Like 20 of them. Surprisingly, it got the GPU to recognize that the game needed the GPU. But it wouldn't fully work until about 5 minutes. Somehow, it started to warm up and once it warmed up to about 40-45 degrees Celsius, the automatic fan kicked in and went to full load. Now, it works all the time! No problem! Even when I uninstalled the mods, it worked flawlessly. So your theory of it having to get warm and then it will start working is correct. My GPU also had the problem of recognizing that minecraft needed the GPU for usage. Now it has no problem knowing that minecraft needs GPU power. So thank you!
