I just got a dual core processor, 4200+ and my graphics card is a 7800GT (pre-overclocked)

I figured I'd try and record at 1280x720x32 with VC. It goes down to a smooth 15fps, it's weird, totally smooth, but 15fps. I figured this could be because of Dual Core. I installed the AMD optimizer for games and stuff but no change.

Halp?

Set fraps to recaord at higher fps?
Or it might have to do something with the fraps version :S

Fraps is set to 30fps

It happens on full, and half.

I'll try another version.

My PC has a AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2GHz processor with an XFX GeForce 6600GT graphics card. I can record smoothly at 30fps at 1280x720. Your specs are significantly higher than mine so I see no reason whatsoever that it shouldn't record like that... have you tried disabling some background processes? Especially anti-virus scanners.

I have the exact same setup as bj, but i still record at a steady 10fps, no matter what i set fraps to.

I gotta see what i record at, this PC sucks ftw omg so im not sure it will be more than 9

Edit: Ok recorded now, i recorded from 20-30 fps (capped at 30) with this PC, pentium 4 1,6 ghz, 256MB RAM, GeForce 2 64MB, recored at 1024x768

Not to be rude I don't to hear about everybody else's computers

@ BJ: It's not background processes, my antivirus and firewall barely take up any resources. The only thing I can think of is the dual core part messing things up, it was fine before, even though it wasn't recording at 1280 very well.

Gonna try a different version of fraps now.

I get the newest version, try that one if dont already got that one

Aries · « **Reply #8 on:** April 17, 2007, 01:31:46 PM »

2.8.2: 15fps smooth
2.7.2: 20fps smooth

Shit I got to get the first version Maybe that would work!

Good idea I gotta try that to
I found 1.3 but it couldnt even record

I just figured out it was the x32 part.....fuck knows why. I think it's because of my HDD's not being fast enough to write as much data in such little time.

I can now record at 1280x720/1024 x 16 perfectly.

Brainkiller · « **Reply #11 on:** April 17, 2007, 03:25:29 PM »

but that's lower quality seeing as you want to record in 1280x720 I'm presuming you want the quality to be nice.

btw Tackleberry recorded Interlocked @ 15fps

Sabotage · « **Reply #12 on:** April 17, 2007, 05:06:54 PM »

Most new dual core processor software has the ability to only use one if you only want one running. I dunno about yours though.

I got exactly the same problem in SA (just got a 4200+ Dual Core processor too) and I record at 17fps using the 2.8.0 Fraps version...

I might search for a x16 thing in the graphic settings... Otherwise I don't know how to fix that. I was recording to 25fps all the time with a 3500+ Monocore processor before...
