I've played a bit with Minecraft Windows 10 edition which is awesome fast and fluid.

I've then tried the demo version of the original game, but it happens to feel laggy.

What I don't understand, is that the FPS counter ingame (F3) shows a nearly constant 60FPS (drop sometimes to 59).

My screen is a 60hz screen, so I don't understand why the game feels so slow.

Is the FPS counter in the game accurate ?

My hardware is a decent laptop Core I7 6700HQ, 16GB of RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M.

I also tweaked the computer with:

  • JVM arguments to increase RAM
  • installed latest Java runtime, and made the minecraft launcher use this
  • setup in the NVIDIA control panel to use the GPU and not CPU on the javaw process (F3 shows me the correct GPU)

  • What else are you running while you play minecraft? Also, do you have any resource packs loaded? This sounds a lot like an issue with your PC, rather than the game.

  • @Ben: I'm playing the demo version. But as I said, the game shows 60FPS, but feels more slow than that. I don't ask how to optimize (there are a lot of ressources for that), but why the game seems to be slower than the ingame FPS counter.

  • Could you describe how you feel the game is slow? is it slow on responding to input? Are the animations not smooth? could you post a video showing the problem?

You may want to take a look at your settings specifically the graphics/video ones. Often small tweeks to these can make a significant difference in lag.

  • Thanks, however i didn't ask how to increase framerate (there are dozens of topics for that), but why i feel the game runs at 20 fps even if the ingame counter shows 60 fps)

    The point is if you are seeing lag you should look at changing the video settings as a solution.
