Issues with games freezing during recording.
Issues with games freezing during recording.
I observe that during recording sessions my game runs less fluidly. My frames stay in the mid-200s, and I notice only a slight drop around 5fps when recording. The issue isn’t frame skipping but the overall experience feels less smooth. I’m running at 120Hz and saving to a single WD Black 1TB HDD which also hosts my operating system. Could this setup be affecting performance?
I own an i5 4690K and GTX 970. Recording gameplay works well with FRAPS or Shadowplay, but I also save files to a different storage device from my operating system. (It isn't solely focused on recordings—it also stores some programs, games, etc., since I don’t have another fast hard drive available.)
