Fraps records at 8-15 fps

[Maze24]

I cant figure out the problem but it has never recorded above 15 fps.

Anybody know how to fix this?

FRAPS is a very resource intensive application. It has to record the game, compress it, and save it to the hard drive at the same time.

... Just because you have nothing on your hard drive doesn't mean your computer is good.
Post your graphics card and CPU.

Above video was made on my old computer. The constantly jumping audio/video isn't one of my effects - my computer sucked so bad, whenever I started recording, it'd do that. The below video was made on this, new computer:

As you can see, my ability has increased dramatically. You can too, if you safe up for a new computer.

It's not just your graphics card, you didn't post your CPU, and that's probably not helping either.

I could put add a different one and tell the computer to ignore the integrated one, right?

If you have a pci express slot, then yeah, I believe you could.
But with that you'll probably need to buy a new power supply, and then at that point your CPU would be bottle-necking your performance.
