Hey guys, I wanted to record some gameplay of Mafia 2, GTA SA, Gmod, ect. I get around 100 FPS constant on SA (due to a limiter I think), Mafia 2 60 FPS (again a limiter) and Gmod I get around 200 fps. Now, whenever I try and record, GTA SA gets around 17 FPS. Mafia 2 around 20, and GMOD around 20. I'm really confused on why my frames drop so much. I'm currently doing a full virus scan to see if there are any viruses causing this issue, but I don't think that is the problem. I have recorded to my both 7200 RPM drives, but they both lag like that. I reinstalled fraps but it still lags.


My specs:


AMD Phenom x4 965 Black edition
AMD Radeon 6870 1 GB
4 GB Kensington ram
Seagate 7200 RPM 250 GB
Hitachi 7200 RPM 80gb (for my steam games and video)
Corsair CX500w power supply

I don't know why it is lagging. Help?
