could be that your harddrive is having a hard time. Are you letting fraps put the recorded files on a different drive?

Problem is probably too slow/full harddisc. Your processor and RAM is fine, but capping at 60fps requires really fast disc access too.

Trolling should be.

I would set it to 30fps anyway but if you insist on 60 fps you might need a faster HDD or SSD to record onto.

Are you recording to the same drive that Fraps and WoW is located on? If yes, there's your answer. For recording 1080p video with Fraps at 60fps you need a HDD that can handle ~70Mb constant data stream (note: write, not read). If it can't, you will get very choppy framerate.

I will agree, it is most likely your hard drive that is the bottleneck, I ran into the same problem recently, I used to use a WD 2tb Green drive for recording which worked fine but then I upgraded my computer and formatted my system but for some reason now it gitters when recording so I have to record to my RAID0 and all is well.Are you recording to the same drive that Fraps and WoW is located on?

it works perfect with 30fps and yes its to the same drive, i might invest in a second one, due to the files being so frickin big before theyre edited lol, thanks for your help guys

You are more or less maxing out your HDD capacity at this point by both reading WoW game files, the occasional Windows file etc from the HDD while at the same time writing pretty much a large quantity of data to it. A Samsung Spinpoint F3 500Gb should suffice for all your Frapsing needs.

I would second this, 100% Originally Posted by Marest
