Hello,

I've been having trouble to record a game called Insurgency. It used to be a mod, but they've made a SA off it on the source engine. Although i get high fps not recording in the (150-200), when i record it caps a 60. So i was just wondering if i setup up a ram disk of like 20 MB for installing fraps will it effect anything?

I've got
8gb of ram at 1333 MHZ
AMD 6 core fx 6300
R9 270x


Thanks,
Limitz

You shouldn't be getting those high framerates! (You have V-Sync disabled as almost all monitors are 60Hz / 60 FPS).
Fraps caps the framerate to make the recording smooth to playback just like V-Sync (no tearing). If your doing these recordings for YouTube, bear in mind that YouTube is capped at 30 FPS.
