Im having trouble recording games with fraps. Specifically, Guild Wars 2. Without recording, fraps shows anywhere between 60-150 fps depending on where i am (in town or not). When i start recording, my frame rate drops to 10-15 fps. Same happens on a previous game called Allods Online. I am running both games on high-ultra graphics.
My computer specs are the following:
i7 3770 3.4GHz (3.9GHZ turbo) 77W Quad core
Seasonic SS-560KM Active PFC F3, 560W ATX12V V2.3/EPS 12V V2.91 Modular Power Supply
MSI Z77A-G45 Gaming LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
1x Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 low profile
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
EVGA SuperClocked w/ ACX Cooling 02G-P4-2774-KR GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card
I have a 7200 rpm 148 Gb hard drive where i have my OS installed along with Guild Wars 2 and i use a 1.5TB Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex to store all my recordings on.
This issue has started recently since i just upgrade my gpu to the GTX 770 from my previous radeon HD 6670 1Gb. I was able to do decent recording with fraps with the 6670 (medium graphics on most games with semi-stable 30 fps). So im pretty confused as why fraps does not work with my current gpu.
I have already tried some troubleshooting and the only major difference i have found was when i change fraps from full size to half size, then i was able to recording 60 fps but that is to be expected since the resolution become 900x600 (roughly).
I checked what was going on with my gpu using the EVGA PrecisionX software i found the following:
While recording:
Not recording:
The big thing i noticed was that when recording, the power consumption of my gpu actually went down dramatically. I figured this might be due to having a 560W psu when the card recommends 600W+, but im not overclocking and most parts are spec'd higher than what is actually needed. And even if this was the case, i would assume the power consumption would max out trying to draw enough power, not go into "sleep mode" and draw minimum power. Also, i do pass the amperage level for the +12V rail (card requires 42A, psu supplies 46A) Nevertheless, it is still a possibility, but if that was the case, i should see the power consumption actually go up for a larger load demand.
Anyone have any suggestions?
