Hey guys. So recently, I've been trying to record Minecraft with fraps. I generally get anywhere from 150-200 fps or over while not recording, but when I record, my FPS drops to 15 or below. My computer is much more than able to handle fraps, and I know this because my OLD computer could record with fraps with more FPS. This is a brand new gaming laptop.
Specs:
Intel Core i7-4720HQ CPU @ 2.60 GHz
16 GB RAM
64-bit operating system
1 TB HDD
Nvidia GEFORCE GTX 960M GPU
Windows 8 btw
Any suggestions? A fast reply would be most appreciated! Thanks!
By the way, I don't know if this is worth mentioning, but it seems to be the javaw files that I am having trouble recording. For example, if I just record an area of my screen with bandicam it works fine.
Try saving to a different storage location than the game, record at 30 FPS, and 720p.
It seems like everyone in this thread did not understand my original post. So, to test if it was this "record to a different location" problem, I sent fraps to my friend who has a computer with possibly worse specs than mine. She could record easily at 60 fps while recording to the same drive as the game is on. Okay, so I'm going to use bandicam for my next example. Lets say that I record with DirectX/OpenGL window for gaming. My fps is 12 in game. Lets say I record with the rectangle on a screen. My fps stays up at 150ish. Why is that when I record with the one for the GAME, my computer drops fps like crazy? By the way, it isn't the record to a different drive as I have never done that before, and the drive on my old computer was crap and it was fine. AND I'm saying my FPS craps out at 15 which it should never touch for a computer such as mine.

If Fraps is an outdated pirated version on your computer, that might be your problem...

Dxtory?
EDIT: Windows 10 has an amazing built-in recording feature. Press Win + R ingame
Dxtory works well with not-so-good-computers from what I can gather.
Still costs a bit though.
