Fraps sucks because it encodes while it records.

It's better if you save to a different hard drive than the one you're recording from.

Use Open Broadcaster Software instead.

What? You don't "record from a hard drive". Unless you're talking about the OS drive or the drive the program stores most of it's data on.

forget wording, you know what I'm talking about

You're not using recording software properly if you get lag spikes. Look up online good settings and codecs to use, or watch this video like I did.

This happens to me as well.

Has happened for awhile now, so I just don't use fraps anymore.

Try recording at a lower resolution like 1280x720. Anytime I try to record at my native resolution of 1280x1024, my hard drive bottlenecks, causing "lagspikes."

even with your new hard drive? because I'm starting to record fraps and I have the program on the other hard drive

I believe this is the hard drive but, would it make any impact on my recording?
