My Render Distance WILL NOT WORK!

[IceIceKoala]

I have a quite good gaming computer. I put my render distance on extreme. I put it on far, it is literally the exact same render distance. It won't let me load any more chunks after that. Please help! I can't see anything far at all! Its annoying! STATS =
