These tests were indeed done on Windows 7 - I'm sorry that I didn't mention that at the time, I am often reinstalling OS's and trying different versions for Tests and just for fun (Linux once in a while, etc). I am currently a Tester for Windows 10 and am doing these tests again on this OS, too [an article on the results, Coming Somedayâ„¢ heh].<br /><br />I'm glad that you didn't have issues - and that actually goes along with the little bit of searching around I did, where not everyone was having these issues with FRAPS (but others were besides myself) - and where not every game was having problems. <br />I'm a little tired and can't name them off of the top of my head, but while there were games [for me] that had 'the large FPS drop' while recording with FRAPS, there were also games that did not have the large performance hit with FRAPS [for some games it was still great, it seemed like it wasn't even running]. <br /><br />I still use FRAPS for Benchmarking and Tests [most of which I haven't finished the articles on] and sometimes for recording. It is still very fast and efficient in many cases - I'm merely 'spoiled' now, by the small sizes that other codecs can produce with other programs and find I'm using those a lot more these days, since the computing power is so much higher, allowing these more 'intensive' codecs to be utilized (nothing against FRAPS), hence my comments in the Personal Version/Opinion section on diskspace...<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing your findings!The Game Tips And More Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13593607964431243788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4465180051129281244.post-85003221899891690082015-03-17T07:35:12.243-06:002015-03-17T07:35:12.243-06:00oops, just realized how old this article is.

I also have a 6-core AMD CPU (Phenom II) and I also experienced massive frame drops with fraps even though the game wasn't a strain on the graphics card at all. Just as in your test, Bandicam and DXtory performed better than than Fraps.<br /><br />However, the frame drops didn't make much sense since Fraps usually has only a very small performance footprint. I tested the apps on Windows 8.1 Update 1. I then gave Windows 7 a shot and - oh which surprise - I captured the game at a dead stable 60fps. All capturing programs performed actually better under Win 7. Since you didn't mention the operating system you were using, I assume that you ran your tests on Win 8 or newer. May be you should give Windows 7 a shot as well and see if you can reach those 60 fps :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4465180051129281244.post-8541687248805315322015-01-18T16:21:57.941-07:002015-01-18T16:21:57.941-07:00You're most welcome!

As a beginner I could understand the important parts, even when I wasn't sure about some of the technicalities related to different settings. In fact, I think (will know for sure once I try it) that the way you explained things may help me with deciding on what to select when I am trying different settings. I made up my mind to try Bandicam. <br /><br />Suggestion: It will be of great help if you create a "Beginner's Guide to Screen Recording". You have a nice way of explaining things.<br /><br />Thank you so much again :)Pinksamuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00910677940525542491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4465180051129281244.post-5520577110881022672013-09-05T17:19:33.449-06:002013-09-05T17:19:33.449-06:00@Anonymous said... x2
