• PC upgrade actually downgraded ?
    10 replies, posted
I was running a Nvidia 650 and the cooling fan gave out so i upgraded my power supply to 465 from a 300 to support a nvidia gtx 750 ti zotac i bought, on the old card my fps ran around 150 (on minecraft) and now it only runs at 60 steady. I was wondering why this is happening instead of a fps increase? intel i5 3350p @ 3.19GHz
60 steady, even when looking up at the sky? You might have VSync enabled in the graphics control panel, or in game.
ok thank you, I just checked and it was, i turned it to off and then i started getting 1000-1200 fps. Thank you :D
Just be sure to monitor your GPU temperatures because running Minecraft at excessive frame rates puts a peak load on the GPU and cooling system.

I didn't want the high fps for minecraft. I didnt know how to see my FPS on the other games I was playing so I just used minecraft to see the difference the new graphics card made, went from 120-150 fps to 1000-1200 fps
Minecraft isn't exactly a great benchmark for measuring performance. It's horribly unoptimized and the frame rate can be severely impacted by chunk issues.
