Testing out playclaw on the new rig and ive run into this. GPU usage is 99% and when i start recording the gpu usage permanently drops. Its actually just fucking up framerates for the sake of doing it. Did some googling found it on their forums they never even replied about it.

If you have prerecord on it does it all the time of course. 1 2 3 4 threads doesnt matter, compression settings doesnt matter. Recording to the same setup I use to record fraps, a pair of 7200's in raid 0 that take this res at 60 fps no problems.

The response lag like shit you Might see in fraps is nothing compared to what I am sometimes seeing with playclaw. The 3 to 5 fps drop from fraps in comparison to 10 to 30. But its at its worse that playclaw just makes my shit act like its stuttering when i move my view.

I really want to be able to use this since it doesn't divide up large files (4GB) and doesnt cap my framerate. But unless someone has a solution fraps is not hurting me while recording at all.
 
I haven't had this happen, but I've left the cores to record at 2 and the frame rate at 60 to record.

Im doing some testing today (part of the reason im bringing playclaw out) and I will be on a fresh install with non beta drivers. Kinda wonder if when they fixed the stutter issue in BF3 they created one for playclaw lol. Card isnt overclocked atm either so its not instability.

Other weird news. Fraps' latest version fixes some sort of issue with locked framerates? I tried to check it out. I set framerate to 30 and turned on BF3's in game FPS counter to check against fraps. 50% of the time i was getting 60 fps on both counters but never higher. Sometimes it dropped to 20.

Dunno if fraps is actually working on that feature or not... They have plenty they could be doing thats for sure and as an owner would be nice if they did. Playclaw has me sold if only i can get past this issue.

Ill let you know if the current release drivers work any better than the new beta.
