Lagging Fraps and how to fix it?

You love playing games and decided to make a movie but do not know how? You will need a video recording tool. So to make a movie you need to have a software which can help you to record everything you do playing a game. There are two alternatives. First, you can try GameCam and the second, Fraps.

People argue which one is better. Some say that GameCam some that Fraps. I would like to offer Fraps. But there is another problem using Fraps playing a game. Google is full of gamers posts asking to answer how to solve video lag problems. I’ve had the same problem with a lag. I couldn’t even imagine what the problem was because I have 512 MB nVidia graphic card and 4GB of RAM.

There are several ways that lag can be reduced. You can try reducing your resolution from a higher to a lower. Let’s say 800×600. Yes, I did the same but it wasn’t a solution because it is hard to play when 800×600 is set up. There should be no differences if Fraps is On or Off when you play a game. The solution I have found should help everyone who has Fraps. It depends on a game because you need to turn screen anti-alias option off. Antaliasing has several options that can be chosen: 4, 2, and off. To use Fraps successfully it is necessary to turn this function off. As I said you can turn it off in your game options. But if there is no Anti-alias option try to find it under video control panel. When antialiasing option is turned off i can use Fraps and there is no lag at all. Even if I choose 60, and more FPS. You can read more about antialiasing video.

Hope this helps and happy gaming.
