When i record in fraps i get some really bad FPS, i can hardly turn without laggin, would this have anything to do with the FPS it records at?
I had this same problem. Nothing i tried made it better, i think it has something to do with how much load youre putting on your graphics card, because it has to render whats happening in game as well as a second copy for fraps. Then again im not really sure. Id try setting everything in game to Low or off and see if that makes it any better.
