Right, just tried to capture some footage with Fraps, and (I use VSync on),the top left corner shows rock solid 60-fps. Great

Now I hit record (honestly I've been doing this a while!), suddenly the fps drops to 4fps and the game is a slideshow. 1/4 or 1/2 speed makes no difference?

I had until recently got a pair of 8800GTS in SLi mode, with 4GB of Ram.

Just upgraded to a 4870x2 with 8GB of Corsair XMS Ram.

Now I can't capture with fraps.

I'm using catalyst 8.11 driver.

Anyone had this problem before? Cheers, MP.

I've had similar problem with Flight simulator....everything was fine until I turned on recording.One question,do you have two hard drives?Make fraps store recorded material on second hard drive,not the one with the game instal.That helped me.

Fraps records pretty large avi files,so I think one HD could have a problem running a game&100 other processes and recording 1GB per min avi at the same time......
