Fraps Issues.
Now, i know this is a very common question etc.. i run wow at 1280 * 1024, with all settings on max, i have vsync @ 60 fps, and my computer runns wow @ 60 fps everywhere.. now, when i start fraps up, and start recording my fps dropps to something like 10 - 15 fps?
tried full / half screen, lot of different fps settings from 30 - 60 i got a e 6850 3ghz, 2gig ram, got 150 gig free disk space, 100 on one disk and 50 on the other.. and i really dont know what the problem is, the quality i get from the raw is pretty nice, its just that i lag like shit any ideas? * Clueless * |

Suppose it could be your HDD not being fast enough then.
What sort is it? IDE/SATA? |

Could be that.
Try recording at a lower res like 1024x768/1152x864 (is your cpu a quad or dual core btw?) and see if the avg fps goes up. |

Uhm yes
after some testing, i have still not reached any satisfying answer.. but i noticed that my performance gets flawless after like 15 - 30 sec of recording, after that time i get steady fps and no lag ;S Edit: I thought of something, im running wow from the same disk.. do you think that could cause problems? like the disk cant write enough or something like that? :Z Last edited by felthor : 09-19-2007 at 03:08 PM. |

Then try cleaning up/defragging your hd.
edit: Wow & fraps on the same disk is fine too. |
