Why is my minecraft capped at 60fps

Anyone else having or had this problem?
I have a pretty good rig and I've always been able to play Minecraft at 160+ fps but for some reason it's limiting me to 60fps max even when the setting for it is set to unlimited. Is this a bug with the latest snapshot or something?

I believe the Snapshot isn't optimised so the fps is low

Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword has obviously never encountered automatic weapons.

The vast majority of monitors can only display at most 60fps. Many video games know this and will cap the frame rate there. There's a setting for this in Minecraft, probably moving to the snapshot caused you video settings to change. But the only reason to change it would be because either you have an expensive 120fps monitor, or you want to see how high it goes just for kicks. Frames over your monitor's refresh rate are just wasted energy.

I haven't played MC in a few weeks and like I said in my post I was able to do 120+ fps before switching to this snapshot

World > Galaxy 1 > 2 > Galaxy 2 > 1 > Many others >>>>>>>> 3 > 64

What's your point? You didn't address anything I said.

My monitor isn't exactly good yet there is a clear difference

Try pressing F3 and watching the FPS when you limit it to 60. It might be that it's occasionally dipping below and that's why you notice a difference, and if that's the case I would call it bad coding on Mojang's part. If you don't limit the FPS, and it still has drops in the frame rate but not below 60, that would account for the difference. Or maybe you're imagining it.

Check your graphics card thingy. I forget what the term is, but I have AMD Control Center. In there, see if you have vsync force-enabled. This might be holding the frames to 60. If not, try switching to another version, perhaps 1.7, and see if they're still limited. If they stay limited in 1.7, it's most likely a problem on your end.If not, I'd say it's the snapshot.

Goodluck!

Turn Vsync off?
