And then I've been playing NFS Hot Pursuit recently and wanted to brand a few gameplay videos.
When I try to record the game, after anywhere between thirty seconds and ii minutes of recording, fraps starts forcing the game downward to 2-3FPS, yet if I stop recording the game instantly returns to 60FPS. I have a more able computer, with a 720BE X3 @ 3.6GHz, 8GB 800MHz RAM and two GTX 260 (216) in SLI.
What'southward annoying is that the outset few minutes that are recorded are in perfect 540p res at 40FPS (I set it to record at l%, while playing at 1920x1080). For game normally runs at a abiding 60FPS (vertical sync on) with all graphics set to loftier. When it starts to lag, it's non similar a normal lag where y'all might see it fall to 5-10FPS, but it'due south at to the lowest degree constant.. it'south more like it's freezing. Playing at 40FPS for a split-second before freezing again.
I've monitored my RAM and NFS:HP uses 44% commonly, and this goes up to around 50% while recording.. and then it's non me running out of RAM.
Does anyone take any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you recording to the same HDD as the game is installed on ?? (Fraps streams the video directly to the HDD with no compression so uses quite a bit of the HDD time up writing to it then if the game is too trying to read files from that same bulldoze there is going to exist a lot of stuttering due to the reading and writing to the HDD.

I am trying to tape to the aforementioned difficult drive yes. I have a WD 640GB Black (fabricated for operation) drive, which is my Os and where I'm recording too. I think we can rule that out though as I can record games such as Crysis or GTA4 without issues, but with Hot Pursuit information technology seems to neglect after a few minutes.
I might endeavor recording to my 2nd or third bulldoze, and come across if it helps.
Any other ideas?

It as well happens in video editing, utilise your second drive to relieve your videos (recorded clips).

I will try this later, but if that was the instance why would information technology tape perfectly fine for upward to iii minutes before lagging? And why can I record other games for as long equally I wish and this one I tin't?

Cheers both for your answers! It seems it was caused past recording to my Os bulldoze and not a slave. I've just tested it (only rapidly heed) and it does record without bug onto one of my external drives.
I though it might slow recording down, y'know - doing it through USB ii.0.. only no. I'g still recording at 40FPS and without lag :].
Thank you to both of yous!
Mods - feel free to close this thread.

I'chiliad glad this is still helping someone! I've been well happy ever since information technology was solved. For the record a Caviar Black isn't hugely faster than Light-green, simply it is made for functioning and non depression free energy.
Just record to whatsoever cyberspace hard bulldoze that isn't your boot drive and you'll be fine.
I've come up to realise information technology doesn't even matter if I'm recording to the same bulldoze the game is being run on, as long as it'south non my kick bulldoze.

I've come to realise information technology doesn't even matter if I'm recording to the same drive the game is being run on, as long as information technology's not my kick drive.
That volition depend on the game -- ie. if it is a linear game like NFS and so that is the example but on a game that loads a lot of info at random from the HDD (ie. Skyrim, Oblivion, etc.) and then using the aforementioned drive as the game files tin can cause some stutter (it comes down to the amount of info existence streamed and the available throughput for that channel.) But for the nigh part having the arrangement and swap files etc. on a seperate HDD from the game files helps the game run better and saving the video stream to a third location is platonic simply as long as the HDDs are newer and decent performers with a decent size cache the video stream and game files tin can unremarkably share the same drive without as well many problems.

I've recorded Assassins Creed, Skyrim, GTA and a few other sandbox blazon games without whatsoever stutter, all recording on the game drive. If I record them games onto the Os bulldoze, I become huge lag afterward a few minutes.

I am trying to record MW3 gameplay using fraps, and I am recording the gameplay to a different HDD from the one that has the game installed on it. Also, its not the HDD where my operating organization is installed, simply still I am experiencing enormous lag and fraps stops recording randomly; sometimes after like iii minutes, sometime 2 min etc. I don't know why is information technology and then.

Howdy Grim, I presume you're using a reasonably powerful computer and appropriate settings?
A can sometimes get lag when recording at 1080p and 60fps, so instead I record at one-half-size and 40fps. Also check things like having the latest version of Fraps etc.
Try dissimilar drives, external drives.. any dissimilar combination and you lot should find one that runs okay.
