Upgrade or reconsider your recording parameters. The bottom line though is your GPU is way too under powered to record at 1080p60, especially with Fraps, and as long as you remain in denial of that, you will continue to have these problems. If you seriously got worse performance in DxTory, I really doubt you were setting up Distribution Writing properly. But when I do that with Dxtory, it's so unbearably laggy that I can't even record at 30fps. Hello, I tried doing as you said and started using Dxtory for the past 30 minutes or so, but for me it is even WORSE than Fraps! First of all, I need to record in 60fps, it's what I want, period. It also costs only a little bit more than Fraps, even though it has WAY more features. Often times zero FPS drop.Īs far as I know, DxTory is the only capture tool with which you can use multiple drives to write the capture file (Distribution Writing), and can record two audio streams, which is why it's used a lot by those adding video commentary. I often capture in 1080p on my 280x, but at only 30 FPS, and even then, I use DxTory with 3 HDDs writing the capture file simultaneously, which substantially increases FPS while recording. To put it another way, I would not even attempt to capture at 1080p60 with that GPU, let alone via the capture tool most known for lag, Fraps. I run a 7970, same card as a 280x, and there's lots of games I have to turn down settings quite a bit. It could be that you have your settings too high though. That's likely because when it's 'working', it's during a less graphics demanding part of the game, then frames drop when you get to places that are. Unfortunately, just when it's working, somehow it doesn't last.

Fraps only records 29 seconds
