The movements feel slower and because of that fighting isn't as effective as it is on the java edition. I appreciate all your help, its okay if you don't wanna help me anymore. I'll most...

    This is Minecraft: Java Edition, it comes with it installed. I don't have the Windows 10 edition of Minecraft. Is that what you are suggesting I get?

    Installed a new GPU and my PC is still not performing well

    I uninstalled Norton. This is how my task manager looks when I am on a minecraft server. My power usage goes from high to very high. I still get really bad lag spikes when I play minecraft. However, if I downgrade to 1.8.8 and lower my settings in the game, the lag spikes aren't as crazy. I...

    Installed a new GPU and my PC is still not performing well

    It still shows that the CPU temperature is high, should I reapply the thermal paste? Also, instead of buying more ram couldn't I just use my SSD?

I looked up ASRock Z97 drivers and tried to find one for windows 10 of course and I couldn't find one that would...

    I just uninstalled java and reinstalled the chipset driver for my motherboard. I restarted my computer as well. I was going to install the main driver as well but I am not sure if the website that I was going to download from was legit. http://speccy.piriform.com/results/j7AbvpIrsL5T1a7ENReDGLT

    Installed a new GPU and my PC is still not performing well

    I changed my power plan to balanced. Windows is a recent install because I wanted to do a clean install of windows, in order to clear up more space. That didn't do anything to help with performance, there is still a ton of lag spikes. I will order a new PSU I just wanna make sure I pick a good...
