He has an i7 980x with 12GB RAM and r9 290 graphics. While recording in various formats, it struggles with smooth performance. His storage setup includes a 120GB SSD and a 500GB HDD connected via SATA 2 at 6Gbps. The issue seems to stem from the recording software or settings causing stutter despite having ample storage.
The bitrate being targeted is relatively low, which can cause noticeable CPU delays during recording if it's set too high.
CS:GO runs smoothly at 299 FPS, and recording adds a slight drop to 40-20 with some stuttering.
Same performance stays under 30% in CS:GO and reaches 35% on a 6-core i7. Probably not just the CPU.
It seems like the issue might be related to the software. Since I'm not familiar with fraps deeply, I recommend experimenting within it to identify the problem.
It's not just one program, it's multiple ones, the OBS AMD GAME DVR keeps slowing down.
