Hello there i got a pretty serious problem.
Well the problem is that i lag like crap when im frapsing stuff ? What req's does my computer have to reach to get smooth fraps videos ? Im running a 3 Ghz DualCore 2GB's of RAM 512 Nvidia Dedicatet grafic card. Shouldn't that be enough for fraps ? Anyways do you have some ways to make it smoother i mean wow "overall" ? |

One, you're computer is plain and simple not powerful enough to maintain the framerate. What and how exactly are you recording? Or your computer could be bogged down by malware that when fraps kicks in it takes mondo longer than it should to process and save the frame to disk. --------------------  "There is only one stupid question.

I don't use fraps, but what res are you recording at? Are you capturing the whole screen? If you were to fraps at top res of your monitor (which today reaches up past 1900x- or so), you won't have much luck. Most people have to fraps at lower res to get smooth recording. The high amount of pixels simply is too much even for some really high end computers. You may have WoW set at the lowest grahpics settings, but did you lower the resolution setting too?
For instance, if I attempt to fraps my 2000+x2000+ res on my HD monitor, and capture the whole screen. And this is on a Quad Core with 8gb of RAM, I probably would still have problems. Either because of memory issues, or harddrive throughput. If you don't have enough harddrive bandwidth it's not going to be smooth. Recording video is like recording audio in this case. Except video requires much more throughput from your hardrives due to more info being saved. Also, if you attempt to fraps a game, the game itself will lose framrate due to reesources being used. |
