i never have had no sync activated. I just wanna know if thats normal that fraps reduces my game FPS, the fps which i play with, to the number i set in the fraps options. Or if thats wrong, and fraps just should reduce my fps. Look vor example. I set Fraps to 29 FPS. THen i go to the login Screen of wow. There i got about 400-500 FPS! Then i Press F7, to start recording, and while Fraps is recording it goes down to 29. Shouldt it dropt about 20% percent and not dropt to the seted stat?
If i set 10 FPS at Fraps, i get 10 FPS ingame. If i set 20, i get 20 ingame. So theoreticly i should set Fraps to 50 FPS, cause i dont like to play at 29 FPS if i could play and record at 50. But Setting Fraps to 50 is stupid. I used fraps a few months ago, ant then it didnt do that. Why now? Got the normal Settings.
