Why do I get low FPS on Minecraft?

[Nicholasc7]

I built my new pc and it runs most games as well as I expected it to except minecraft. I'm only getting 30-45 FPS. My gpu is the MSI r9 380 4G and my cpu is amd fx 6300 So I know I should be getting much higher FPS than I already get.

install optifine and enable multi core
then run minecraft on 1.7.10 as 1.8 1.9 and 1.10 are very slow in comparison (basicly microsoft has made minecraft even less optimised)

Ohh, minecraft optimization leaves much to be desired. I've a FX 6300 like you do and a r7 370 4GB and I get higher fps than you, like 90 in avg i'd say, I didnt't really run a benchmark though. Optifine seems to increase performance by a LOT, when I say a lot I'm talking I got like 200 avg with multi-core enabled, though with that it gave me some problems and crashes so I disabled it. Without multi-core I get around 150. I'd suggest to first monitor your hardware's usage, CPU, GPU and RAM allocation. Make sure you have java x64 installed, doesn't really matter which version, but if you feel like it, update it.For CPU and GPU use MSI Afterburner and see if the 380 is running at the core clock it's meant to be and there're no dips below that, check temps in both CPU and GPU. Then try allocating more ram to minecraft, I usually go for at least 3GB since I make a lot of redstone contraptions and machinery, but 2GB should be enough. Try lowering the render distance, at 12-15 chunks it gets below 60 without optifine on my config. More than 16 chunks gets super choppy.

Also, big thing here. Check your settings.

It's easy to go to the distance slider and slide it all the way across, but this is very COU intensive, at that point you're looking at 32x32 chunks which is 1024 total chunks, when Minecraft's original far distance was 16x16 chunks, which is only 256 chunks. A huge difference there.

Don't be afraid to drop the slider a little.

for a good gamplay 12 chunks is best
on my sister's fx 6300 build 16 chunks was the best un overclocked and 20 when clocked at 4.5ghz
on my present 6800k build 32 chunks is flawless
