The Overlay Display Hotkey lets you assign a button that will toggle the frame rate counter between the four corners and off. This is due to all the extra work involved in saving the screen data to disk.įPS (Frames Per Second) What do the options do?

#FRAPS DOESN T RECORD MOVIE#

If you are recording a movie with Fraps there can be a noticeable impact on the game. When you are benchmarking the overlay is automatically disabled to provide the most accurate results. The best way to measure it on your own system is to find a game that allows you to benchmark it and compare the results obtained with and without Fraps loaded. This may vary depending on your system configuration, but should remain relatively minimal. There is a small overhead associated with drawing the framerate on screen. Does Fraps have a performance impact on the game?

There is really no need to use ALL High settings, as there really is very little to no difference between low settings and high settings(except for bragging rights, but that is not a good reason to run a game on all high settings).įor example, on SA, my Windows 7 laptop can run the game on all maxed out settings, but when i'm recording I have to lower the FX Quality to Medium to eliminate/reduce the lag.(So, therefore, I just keep it on Medium all the time). If you just turn the fps in fraps down to 25 AND lower the in-game settings to all medium or better yet all Low, you will not get as much(if any) lag while recording. If you record too many videos at high fps, you will use up an entire 1TB hard drive in no time. Plus, the higher resolutions use more resources-RAM, Processor power, vram, and not to mention disc space, so that goes to explain the large lag in the game. Also, you cannot necessarily record in 1080p, as your Video card AND Monitor may not support that high of a resolution. And i want to record 1080pīecause it helps with the fps. Why would i want to do that? It makes the quality worse. And if FPS drops happen, lag is almost bound to happen too.Īlso in Video capture setting make sure Half size is checked But i think that it's a problem when lowering the frame rate, fraps drops it down to that and this often result in lag when small fps drops.įor example. Because i though that it would 'lock' the FPS there, so it wouldn't drop so much. I have the frame set to 60 FPS in fraps right now. I also noticed that higher frame rate set in Fraps results in bigger video size. Yeah i noticed the memory intensive part. Just curious, what FPS do you have Fraps set on?-eg. This happens with SA, VC, and III too(most noticeable in SA, though)-I get 30+ FPS in SA, but while recording it goes down to 10, 12, etc. No, Fraps Recordings go into a separate folder, as seen here,So, they WILL NOT get affected by a un-install/re-install.īut, the reason Fraps causes the fps to dip, is because it is memory intensive. Will reinstalling fraps delete all my current recordings?
