[Help] Significant FPS Drop when recording any game

gaming
#1

I have been having significant FPS drops when I start recording pretty much any game that I’ve tried recording so far, I have tried recording Heroes & Generals and Audiosurf. Now I know they aren’t pretty demanding games at all.

I would get over 60 FPS on audiosurf then once I hit that record key it literally drops it to below 10 FPS for no reason.

Computer Specs:
CPU - AMD FX8350 4.0Ghz
GPU - MSI Nividia GTX 750Ti 2Gb
RAM - 8Gb 1866Ghz clocked to 1600Ghz
OS - Windows 10
Recording program - Dxtory latest version

Recording settings:
codec - Lagarith Lossless - multi thread enabled - Mode YV12
Frame rate - 30 FPS
Scaling - 1920 x 1080 native
Only recording game audio
Force CPU Processing - on
Processing threads - 1

I do believe that is all the info that is needed and this did work fine before where I could record at 45 FPS with no problem.

wat

#3

yes windows 10

@snowyterrorgami win 10 isn’t stable, that’s probably your problem. i heard it has performance issues aswell, but that might be a rumor

#5

Yes, Windows 10 has a lot issues,

@snowyterrorgami
Why would you use a beta build for your daily routine?
I don’t recommend this.

#6

A couple of my friends use Windows 10 on a daily basis too and they said that they were having no performance issues at all, infact they had a performance increase. Windows 10 is running better than Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 has for me but I haven’t seen it as a problem.

@snowyterrorgami maybe try running it in compatibility mode

EDIT: i’ll try running some tests in a VM for you in a sec, can i ask if you’re using 64 or 32 bits

#8

I’m using 64bit, however my friends noticed a big increase in performance when running it as a boot os.

Hey, That is a common and known issue with Dxtory.

Maybe it will help.

ok thanks I’ll try it once the computer decides to let the panel run.

Why are you using Dxtory? Use shadowplay? It comes with your videocard, and it has little to no FPS drop.

Also, do you have all your drivers?

I use dxtory because when I’m recording games while playing with my friends I’m then able to put the game audio, my voice audio and my friends voice audio all on separate tracks making it easier to edit in post production. I also use dxtory because then it really pushes my computer however I think I’ll have it sorted thanks to Charlie. Oh and I have looked about Shadow play before and have did tests with it however I’ll use it some time when I feel its right.
