Believe im correct in saying that Minecraft is more CPU heavy than GPU.

I also have the R9 280, when i had my pentium id get about 50 frames, but on the quad core AMD FX i get like 140 haha [On Minecraft]

So MC depends on your CPU, nothing wrong with your graphics card.

Is your graphics card drivers up to date? Also list your pc specs.

If that doesn't work then check your temps using HWMonitor (google it and download it)

You may be getting low frames due to your CPU thermal throttling. Thermal throttling is when your CPU (or GPU) downclocks itself to stop overheating as much, resulting in much worse performance.
