I think I need to make an indices buffer, but I have no clue how to pass my vertex buffer to it. When I'm drawing the cubes, I'll be drawing from the indices list so hopefully it'll make the fps jump

I changed the class to this so the vb is only being called once but nothing changed

    public void setVB()
    {
        device.SetVertexBuffer(cubeVertexBuffer);
    }

    public void Draw(BasicEffect effect)
    {
        setVB();

        foreach (EffectPass pass in effect.CurrentTechnique.Passes)
        {
            pass.Apply();
            device.DrawPrimitives(PrimitiveType.TriangleList, 0, cubeVertexBuffer.VertexCount / 3);
        }
    }

Would it make more sense for me to just combine the two classes?

I used this line of code

graphics.SynchronizeWithVerticalRetrace = false;

To disable VSync and it didn't help the fps while running a 50x50. When you're talking about only calling the Vbuffers once, I'm assuming you mean create an object VBuffer and replace it with the foreach loop in each draw method? I'm a little confused on what you mean at your first bullet point

10x10 works fine, fps stays at 60. How do I check if the vertex buffer is only being called once?

public override void Draw(GameTime gameTime)
            {
                base.Draw(gameTime);

                foreach (var item in entities)
                {

                    effect.VertexColorEnabled = false;
                    effect.TextureEnabled = true;
                    effect.Texture = item.Texture;

                    Matrix center = Matrix.CreateTranslation(new Vector3(-0.5f, -0.5f, -0.5f));
                    Matrix scale = Matrix.CreateScale(1f);
                    Matrix translate = Matrix.CreateTranslation(item.Position);

                    effect.World = center * scale * translate;
                    effect.View = camera.View;
                    effect.Projection = camera.Projection;

                    cube.Draw(effect);
                }

That method is getting called in my draw method in my game class

 public void Draw(BasicEffect effect)
    {
        foreach (EffectPass pass in effect.CurrentTechnique.Passes)
        {
            pass.Apply();
            device.SetVertexBuffer(cubeVertexBuffer);
            device.DrawPrimitives(PrimitiveType.TriangleList, 0, cubeVertexBuffer.VertexCount / 3);
        }
    }

I successfully drew a 50x50 area one cube high. FPS is at a whopping 11 -.- so I obviously did something very wrong lol
