Okay so on CS:S i can get up to like 700 fps but trying to record With FRAPS is almost impossible because it goes down to somethimes less than 30 for no reason. i record in 1680x1050 full screen but idk why its so downgraded like how coul i make it more performant? the lowest Resolution i can go down to is 1440x900 (montage standards) but still no improvement. how can i dedicate like an entire core jut to FRAPS so i can record better with it? also in crysis recording with FRAPS i get about 25-30 on counter strike i almost never get that much wtf?

1: You're not getting 700FPS ingame in CS:S
2: Unless you have ancient hardware, you're not getting <60FPS in CS:S

Quite frankly, I don't belive for one second the numbers you're seeing. Even my PentiumD/8600GT could get ~100 FPS at CS:S, theres no way a cored machine is getting 20-30.

The max fps is 300 unless altered.

We need to know your specs to help any further.

Did anyone read that he was using fraps to record...

There’s your issue...

Don’t use fraps to record/Get a faster Hard Disk might help

I myself use fraps to record, It slows your FPS down to a crawl but its worth it for some games, Unfortunately CSS is not one of them, you need as much FPS as you can get to really do well.

@ Gamerk316 : His numbers are pretty high, that must be his max. But FPS can be unlocked, I have mine set at Max 999 ( Command is Fps_max *** )

Even my Current rig Has problems with Fraps. It's definitely not your Rig, maybe you should get a second harddrive and have fraps record into that. It might increase FPS, I mean. Your pretty much recording HD in real time, and also playing the game.
