Fraps?

R0FLST0MP3D · February 2010

I got fraps, and it works and all, but it drops my FPS to around 20 and sometimes lower, and the reactions from the mouse and movements are slower than that. What could fix the problem? Is it lack or RAM or a bad Processor?

The FPS counter in the corner, is that red or yellow? If it's red, that means you're recording gameplay, which slashes your performance in half.

Reason why is because fraps will lower your gameplay because your recording while playing
Crossfire which can slow down your computer due to everything that is running.

I know when it's recording because the quality of the gameplay decreases. xD
I'm just saying, to help keep it more stable should I improve the RAM or the Processor?

I mean, I know that it's going to drop the performance of the computer, for sure.
But what could HELP with that, like improve it a little so I don't suck ass on the fraps?

Oh, BTW, hey Mickey, you're in WW with me.

And, post your PC specs by pressing Start, and running 'dxdiag'. I will tell you what you need to upgrade. Post info from both the first tab and the 'Display' tab.

BTW, won't be able to play during the week. IDK if there's some CP Quota we have to meet. xD

Here's the pictures of the thingies.

Can you help me on what to upgrade

It might be that your HardDrive is nearly full, when my computer started to get full cuz of all the recordings, my fps would drop down to 20. Check your C Drive if its nearly full.

My Computer > C Drive (right click) > Properties

What you need to do iod go in game with out fraps on and find your fps.Close game and set fraps to record at that fps.Try that and see if it works.

You can leave fraps on and do that, its even better to do that because if you press TAB and check your score, your FPS drops, but if you have fraps on and its not recording, it gives you your constant FPS without pressing tab and lowering it.

Yeah I just didnt realize that till you said something

MikeDaSpike · February 2010

you need a good computer in order to use fps while gaming and to be able to record and not lag =/

Your computer is pretty good. Go into FRAPS and set the recording FPS at 60. It's probably capped at something low. Mine's at 80.

R0FLST0MP3D · February 2010

mine records at like 45 or 50 or something.
I set it to 60 and it didn't do much.

My c-drive still has half it's memory, i think i'm set...

Mine is almost the same as yours, specs wise. And i get 30...

Try gamebooster. Gives you a little fps boost.

TECHGUY · February 2010

download CCLEANER and clean ur comp, then DL gamebooster
maybe update ur vga driver... then you should get 50 fps+
