Fraps blurring problems!

StereoCymru · 09-16-2007, 06:53 PM

Hello guys,

Upgraded pc a while ago, spec is:

3ghz intel core 2 duo E6850 @ 3.4GHZ
2GB PC8500 Corsair DOMINATOR RAM
EVGA 8800GTX 768MB
EVGA 680i Nforce mobo.

CPU is also WATERCOOLED!

I run wow @ 1680 x 1050 widescreen on my 20" widescreen monitor.

Ive tried frapsing at full size and half size at all the FPS gived, (25,30 etc..) and it is still reasonably bluury?

Can somebody give me a heads up to whats going on? Surely my pc can handle almost anything thrown at it?

All help much appricated,

Thanks.

Mm looks nice

Are those ide cables?

Mine is somewhat similar:

Asus striker extreme mobo (680i too if I'm not mistaken), an asus 8800 gtx, core 2 duo e6700 at 3 ghz (no fancy water cooling

) and 4 gb of corsair xms2 (getting them to work with striker extreme wasn't fun)

First really good gaming computer I bought, and damn its amazing to play on

edit: No pix tho. Some designer of the case thought it was funny to place 2 screws on the back to hold the side in place so I cba to remove it :/
