Fraps Recording Lag Spikes

[ToxicXGL]

hello i am trying to record some gameplay for a youtube channel and i keep getting lag spikes on 1 game. When ever i play league of legends i always will have a frame rate drop. I usualy get around 120-90 fps without recording and 60-40 fps with recording but for some reason there will always be a drop to around 1-10 for about 2 secs. any idea on whats wrong?

Try recording at half quality

what do you mean half quality do you mean half size?

Half quality will reduce the file size and the quality of the video. By the way, I'm new here. Hi all.

Ok so I tried rec in half it dosent have by huge lag spike like 1-10 frames but it does go from 50 good clear quality to 30 fps a little bit of lag is there anyway to make this go away ps I am using most games on high quality but this one on med and have a gt 440

Lower the resolution of your game.

Do these fraps settings:
30fps half-size
Screenshot file format: JPG
Also try to play your game in windowed mode.
Also try not to max out the settings in your game.

try using bandicam or msi afterburner to record ur game play
bandicam will still take its toll but not as much as fraps. msi afterburner will record with no lag

Bandicam has a watermark and I have used it and used all the proper settings for the game I was playing. It lags real bad. But if you listen to the post I posted above and follow those settings for Fraps. Check out my minecraft test at my YouTube channel.

bandicam only has a watermark on the free version.
unless u have a high end pc then recording any game with fraps/bandicam ur gonna get reduced frame rates. try lowering ur game settings.
