[Help] FRAPS lag

[gr8dayseth]

When I play games I get 60+ fps.
When I play games and record with fraps, it goes down to 15-18 fps.

It was working fine yesterday....

Any ideas?

What is your graphics card?
Also post all specs.

You do get a 1 - 5 FPS drop using fraps, make sure that you don't have a higher frame rate on the recording section and/or have your recording button hit.

I started using fraps and I was recording at a solid 50-60 fps then suddenly it drops down to around 10 and im all confused.

Fraps will do that. Just lower the graphics settings or something.

You lose a lot more FPS than that, Fraps requires two main hardware components. The CPU and the Hard drive, in most cases recording to another hard drive fixes the issue of losing a lot of FPS or haing your FPS jump around with recording, you will always lose some FPS though. If the CPU is a dual core then it will struggle more when recording, if the CPU is a quad core and you still get low FPS when recording then the hard drive is what is struggling, getting anther hard drice to record on helps a lot.

I get 10-15 fps without recording. My computer is stuff

FRAPS is a hilariously inefficient recorder, and I'm still wondering why someone hasn't made a better recorder that doesn't take a super computer to record at decent quality without have a 20gb file at the end of short video.

I've been recording with FRAPS on hilariously awful hardware @ 1280x720 and I have had none of these issues. Are you sure you guys are doing it right?
