Extreme FPS Drop (Bandicam Need Help)

[harvey010]

Hey everybody as you have read in the title i am encountering huge fps dropage in bandicam while recording games!

 

The game i am recording is garrys mod on steam :) a brilliant game!

 

I do reviews on games on youtube and tutorials on how to's and other stuff but recently i have just upgraded my old very OLD

 

Nvidia 8400gs!

 

I have now got a gtx 550ti im not sure if these tempatures are average but this is in idle mode (check the attatchments)

 

im not sure if this is a problem but i might as well say as the graphics card fan is facing down right under neath is a 5.1 sound card

im not sure if this is creating heating problems hopefully someone can tell me

 

any way i have been comparing my results while recording garrys mod

 

My results

 

Fps non recording: 55-65 Ultra settings

Fps recording: 8fps :( why so low!) Ultra settings

 

Friends results

 

Fps non recording 60-65fps

Fps recording: 45fps

Well a thing people do when recording from Source engine games is to record a demo and then use other software to record the demo. This reduces processing power and may be a short term fix for your issue.

 

Apart from that it's usually quite CPU dependent. Programs like FRAPS is known to kill FPS in games. Try recording to another hard drive that the game isn't on for one thing.

 

***You have a Pentium dual core while your friend has a tri core which I believe can be unlocked into a quad and this may be helping with the fps.

 

Another thing to do while recording is to try and set the core the game or program is running on using windows task manager by right clicking the program and setting it's affinity.
