It's not only about how fast you can type while recording; it's also about delay times. Mechanical drives often have significant lag when you suddenly need to record more data, which is common during recording. Switching to an SSD might be the most effective solution to prevent missing frames.
I can capture video at 1080p with 60 frames per second using my mechanical setup... (The drive handles up to 90Mbps for recording) I notice some delay when starting the recording (searching and launching after pressing the button), but once it goes, there are no more dropped frames.
VLC struggles with certain large AVI files. MPC-HC and WMP support them. My definition of choppy or laggy recording is when recording at 60 FPS the top-left view drops to just 50 FPS. This problem repeats with 60 FPS @ 1080p recordings using Lagarith, matching the issue I face when recording at 60 FPS @ 1080p in high quality with Dxtory Codec. Due to storage size concerns, I’d avoid high quality with Dxtory Codec. For smaller files, Lagarith 60 FPS @ 1080p would be preferable even in low quality. I consistently encounter the 50 FPS limit regardless of storage drive used.
AMD VCE is an integrated hardware decoder on your GPU, comparable to Shadowplay.
It seems you’re considering a video card upgrade and need help diagnosing why recording at 60 FPS isn’t working. The HD 6000 series isn’t compatible with that setup. Your CPU might be insufficient for smooth recording, or the codec/record settings could be causing the issue. Storage isn’t the problem—focus on hardware limitations and software configurations.
because you're streaming LOSSLESS codec at 1080p 60fps in software, your system can't cope. even with the hardware decoder (AMD VCE 1.0), to achieve 1080p 60fps you must lower the search reach X,Y to 16 and disable Forward ME decision in H.264 decode for better efficiency, which reduces file size while maintaining quality. additionally, you'll need a RAID 0 SSD with higher bitrate support.
Using Dxtory, consider codecs and configurations that balance quality and file size. Lagarith is a solid choice—it’s straightforward, free, and well-reviewed. For 1080p at 60 FPS on a PC with lower write speeds, look for lossless or near-lossless options like YUV420P or H.264 with high compression. These often provide better performance without sacrificing too much quality. If you need smaller files, prioritize codecs that support efficient encoding and take advantage of your SSD’s 187 MB/s read speed. RAID 0 on SSDs mainly affects write performance, not read speeds, so your current setup should handle it well. Your concern about 63 MB/s drives is valid—ensure your codec settings match your hardware capabilities. If you’re still struggling with bitrates, check whether your CPU or storage bottleneck is limiting the output.
I first struggled to capture 60 FPS at 1080p, but months later I managed only 720p. Now using Dxtory and Bandicam I’m back to 60 FPS. It might be linked to an updated x264vfw codec and a newer Dxtory version. I haven’t used Bandi at 60 FPS before today. If the issue persists, disable hardware acceleration in Chrome’s advanced settings. For the best results, check YouTube to set the highest resolution and frame rate.
I’m sharing your system details now.
Processor: AMD 9590 (8 cores, 4.7Ghz) with two XFX R9 290x graphics cards.
RAM: 16 GB Corsair Corshair V Formula-Z, 1600 MHz.
Storage: 4TB WD Black HDD, 512 GB Crucial SSD.
Monitors: Two 1080p displays.
Write speeds: 160 MB/s on HDD, 400 MB/s on SSD.
Video performance: Experiencing frame rate issues at 50 fps; video remains choppy even after recording at 60 fps.
I’ve adjusted settings multiple times but haven’t resolved the problem. I followed instructions from a YouTube tutorial and still face the issue.
