I play games like Rust, Reign of kings, dayz mod, and I still get stuttering and lagging when trying to record, even with a capture card.


Specs:

i7 4790k
GTX 970 4GB FTW
AVER MEDIA LIVE GAMER HD
8 GB RAM

Drivers are up to date and everything. What is holding me back :eek:

My first guess is you likely have a program that's either conflicting with another program or a program that's taking too much system resources or both.

OR the power supply you didn't list in your specs is under powering your video card.


Give the model of your power supply and also search msconfig and go to start up tab and see if there are programs you can live without running at start up.

Which motherboard and bios version is it?
Run realtemp while capturing, how high is the temperature rising after 10 minutes ?

Run 3dmark firestrike and post the link which comes up at the end.

Run furmark stress test and post the temp after 10 minutes

When using realtemp while in game and capturing, my computer completely crashed. I remember seeing around 99% to 100% when I was just loading the game.

3Mark = http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/7279817

furmark = http://gyazo.com/2f9122cf213ed60bb9125124a057d4b9 ( It only went for like a minute. )

which BIOS version is on your motherboard Gigabyte H81-D3?
enter BIOS to look it up
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZcYbxOcPV0

it most likely needs an update, because it´s not compatible out of the box with a haswell refresh 4790k.

all drivers up to date?
install intel update utility or search for drivers manually on the internet

just run furmark burn in, not the benchmark
but your temperature of the 970 is bit high, should be in mid 60s °C under load

run prime95 (run the blend test) and realtemp

1. Again, the easiest check would be to use nVidia's own Shadowplay which is part of GeForce Experience to eliminate the program you are using as conflicting with something.

2. If it still does it, then I would proceed to using Furmark (window mode).... watching two things.... screenshot is unnecessary.

a) Look at temps....on graph on screen
b) Open GPU-z (sensors tab) and see if card is throttling.

Sigh, I did the bios update (F6) that you showed me, now windows is failing to start.

It's saying "windows failed to start. A recent file hardware or software change might be the cause. "Then it says to put in my installation disk.

More info: File \boot\BCD
STATUS 0xc000000f

Updating the bios seemed to fix my problem!!! I'm running all the games I was lagging on, flawlessly. Thanks so much man! I really do appreciate it!
