So, i have been having this problem latley, i run MC in 300 FPS, and when i hit the record button on fraps, my thing goes to crap, 30 fps is good enough, but i prefere 60, and thats why i have it locked on to, any idea why such a drop? I was able to record in 60 fps a couple of days ago.

Try using an alternate capture program.

MSI afterburner is a very good free program. (Some people have had trouble installing it without an MSI mainboard or video card, but it's worked for me)

That will help narrow down if it's a fraps problem, or something else.

I've tried with different programs, Dxtory HyperCam and camtasia, don't think thats the problem... But i'll try

Fraps lock your FPS to 30 when you record with it. If you don't like it try a different program or don't record.

But you can change the fps to be locked to 60 aswell...

I would think that you don't have enough RAM, but you do. I have trouble recording but it's cuz I have only 2 gb of RAM and only 1 is usable for some reason.Do you record on FlatLand or on regular terrain? If you record on regular terrain, your computer may be like mine where your fps goes way up on FlatLand. If not, then I have no idea.
