Hello I currently have a OC'd HD 5770, and I play with about 50-60 fps in Bad company 2 with max graphs, but then I sometimes lagg with fraps even with fraps set on 30 fps.
I could reduce graphs to like High texture, no AA, low shadow, HBAO off etc. but then I get around 90 but the game looks very shitty and I usually can't have fraps set up to more than 30, but 30 runs good.
Is there any recorder that reduces my fps less than fraps, but still remains good graphic- and fpswise.
I heard about Xfire being better but I've never tested it. Worth a try?
Thanks.
Edit: Know there are more threads like this but most of them ain't helpful.
IIRC the FPS drop is mostly caused by recording to the same hard drive that is also being accessed for the game's data
so there isn't really any way to get rid of it unless you record to a different HDD than the game is on
XFire is less resource intensive yes, but the quality is worse, as far as i know there isn't one that gets the same quality and is lighter.
Ridiculously far-fetched idea, but it should work. If you have a TV with a VGA input, play the game on the TV whilst a DVD is recording/being saved to recorder hard disk.
Fraps is the best if you want almost lossless quality.

This is retarded.

i don't get much of a frame drop recording from the blender game engine with it, and it's completely free. a vid recorded with it, lossless codec not on:[URL="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1689248/SHGUN.avi"]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1689248/SHGUN.avi[/URL]

It's a myth.

I want to test it myself but I'm one of those silly people who only needs a single HDD
I'll test it right now.

no difference, however, in a game that loads data constantly from the hard drive...
so..

When you set FRAPS to record at 30 FPS, your FPS will be capped at 30 FPS.

Haven't ever tested it but it would make sense.
