Do you have vsync on in the minecraft options?
Are your GPU drivers up to date?
There are in general 2 reasons why Windows memory manager will limit the memory given to a process.
1. The memory is needed by other processes.
2. Giving it more would not significantly improve it's performance. Generally giving a process more memory will improve it's performance, but only to a point. There will always come a time where giving it more will do very little for it's performance. There may be some other factor limiting the process performance and giving it more memory will not overcome this. There is no provision for overriding the memory managers behavior.
There is no reason to believe that the problems you are having are memory related. I am not a gamer and will not speculate on what that may be.
Vsync is off and I tried gta v after and I got 5 fps when I windows 8 I got 50 to 60 fps
Are your GPU drivers up to date?
Drivers | GeForce
Yes everything is up to date that I know of
And does windows update have anything it's trying to finish up at the moment? Anything showing up when you check for updates?
No not at all it has been going on ever since I upgraded to windows 10
I am having the same isssue my 1600mhz ram is capped at 800mhz Bios shows it set to 1600mhz . 16gb of ram installed only using 2.1 gb of the 16gb . No idea whats going on . All drivers cpu/gpu are updated Bios are updated everything is updated .
THIS IS WHAT I FOUND SO FAR FOR AN EXPLANATION
1) You set the timings in the BIOS, so no matter what a Windows program reads it, it is running at the BIOS speed.
2) In CPU-Z, you have to times your RAM frequency by two to get the actual speed. It is taking into account the multiplier, so it only shows it as half.
