Try reinstalling your video driver, as that also affects performance. Perform a clean install.

To fix lag in Minecraft, you can try several methods:

1. Adjust Video Settings: Lower your graphics settings in Minecraft. Go to Options > Video Settings and reduce the render distance, turn off fancy graphics, and lower the particles.
2. FPS Limiter: Consider using the new FPS limiter feature that reduces the framerate when the game is idle. This can help save resources when you're not actively playing, which may improve performance when you return to the game.
3. Close Background Applications: Ensure that no unnecessary applications are running in the background that could be consuming system resources.
4. Update Drivers: Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date, as outdated drivers can lead to performance issues.
5. Check for Disk Errors: Use the Check Disk program to identify and clean any errors on your hard drive, which can also affect performance.
6. Defragment Your Hard Disk: If you're using a traditional hard drive, defragmenting it can help improve performance. You can do this through the Optimize and defragment drive option in Windows.
7. Adjust Power Plan: Make sure your power plan is set to High Performance, which can help ensure your PC is running optimally for gaming.

By following these steps, you should be able to improve your FPS in Minecraft and reduce lag.
