The screen recorder is a universal Windows application that can be used with games using DirectX or OpenGL graphic technology. I have had dozens buy 12gb of ram, SSD's, another video card. Fraps Screen Recorder costs 37 for a lifetime license. I deal with people that come to me crying about how they only get 60fps with their massive video cards all the time when recording. The last ticket to recording with fraps is if you have your record rate set to 30fps you will drop to 30fps, however I have noticed setting it way higher than you render will cause other issues (frame stutter). Considering your graphics card, you are probably using a lot of cpu power to keep up with it, that being said when you run Fraps you are doing to hurt your cpu and in turn hurt your FPS, get used to it, nothing you can do about it and nothing is going to change that. Now Fraps is CPU dependent, so clock speed and multi cores means the world.

4gb is plenty, I can record at 1920x1080 any game I play without dropping frame rates too badly at all, this includes recording in Starcraft 2 and Bad Company 2.ДЄ separate hard drive is pretty much a requirement do NOT try to just run it on a raid set of drives if the array is your primary windows install or where the game is loaded, you have a dedicated drive, doesn't matter what it really is as long as it's moderately quick, any newer sata drive will more than do the trick. There are a few issues when it comes to recording with fraps, a good amount of ram is helpful.

Its better to have the Single GPU solutions with 1.2-1.5-2.0gb of ram on the single gpu for better frames while recording games. **EDIT** Looking at your system specs, I basically described your computer, I would suspect another reason why your getting Low FPS while recording in your games is because the HD 5970 is caped at 1gb memory, and when you start recording, it loads up the 1gb of ram dedicated to each gpu and exposes the fatal flaw of your gpu Most of the time the video card isnt the reason for the drop in fps when recording, Its just the low resources and hardrive speed that hits the frames most while recording. It helps to record games with 6gb of High clocked/low timed ram, a Western Digital black hardrive, SSD, Or Raid hardrives, and a quad core to not see that big of a frame dip. If your having recording issue's its ussually just the computer's original bottle necks. Xfire- while in-game recording will drop your FPS just about the same as FRAPS does. I use xfire, have been using xfire for 5 years now.
